3. Keep the bonded jumper wire in a secure location
so that the generator can be returned to the original
configuration.
IMPORTANT: Apply a new "NEUTRAL UNBONDED"
Label over the "NEUTRAL BONDED TO
FRAME" label on the front of the control
panel.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above sea
level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for every
1000 feet of increased altitude from sea level.
High altitude adjustment is required for operation at
altitudes over 2000 ft. (762 m). Operation without this
adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased
fuel consumption, and increased emissions.
DO NOT operate the generator at altitudes below 2,000
ft. (762 m) with the high altitude kit installed. Engine
damage may occur.
High Altitude Carburetor Kit Part# 518962-02
BREAK-IN PERIOD
For proper break-in, DO NOT exceed 50% of the rated
running watts (10,000 watts) during the first five hours of
operation.
Vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat
and cool and help seat the piston rings.
LOW IDLE
ALWAYS start the generator with Low Idle OFF. Allow
the engine speed to stabilize before switching Low Idle
ON.
Frequency output of the generator is dependent on
engine speed. DO NOT use Low Idle when powering
sensitive electronics or large surge loads, such as an
air conditioner, electric pump, refrigerator, or when
connected to a home transfer switch.
Low Idle minimizes fuel consumption, noise, and engine
wear by lowering the engine RPM to idle (2400 RPM) when
electrical loads have been turned off and automatically
returns to rated speed when loads are turned back on.
Turn Low Idle ON when powering intermittent, non-
electronic loads, such as power tools at a construction site.

OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
Verify that:
• The generator is placed in an safe, appropriate location.
• The generator is on a dry, flat, and level surface.
• The engine is filled with oil.
• All loads are disconnected.
Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT move or tip the
generator during operation.
REMOTE START
Verify that the area around the generator is clear before
remote starting the generator.
The remote start key fob included with the generator should
be attached to the recoil handle or control panel. If your
unit was shipped without a key fob, contact Westinghouse
customer service.
The generator can be started remotely from up to 99 feet
(30 meter) using the remote start key fob.
Note: As the batteries in the remote start key fob drain,
operational distance will decrease.
PAIRING THE REMOTE START
Remote replacement batteries: (2) CR2016
Remote replacement: Part# 100714A
If the remote start key fob is replaced or needs re-paired to
the generator, follow this procedure.
1. Turn the generator battery switch to the ON position.
The power indicator light will illuminate.
2. Push and hold the red Pairing button on the side of the
control panel until the START/STOP button illuminates.
