OPERATION
BREAK-IN PERIOD
For proper break-in, do not exceed 50% of the rated running
watts during the first five hours of operation.
Use supplied oil until first recommend oil change. Do not
use full synthetic oil during break in period. Full synthetic oil
may prevent proper breaking and seating of the piston rings.
Vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat
and cool and help seat the piston rings.
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
Verify that:
l The generator is placed in a safe, appropriate location.
l The generator is on a dry, flat, and level surface.
l Oil and fuel levels are within safe operating range.
l All loads are disconnected from the control panel
receptacles.
l The ECO mode switch is in the OFF position.
REMOTE START
See Figure 18.
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:
If the remote start key fob is replaced or needs to be paired
to the generator, follow this procedure:
l Turn the generator battery switch to the ON position. The
power indicator light will illuminate.
l Push and hold the red pairing button on the side of the
control panel until the START/STOP button illuminates.
l Push and hold the STOP button on the key fob until the
START/STOP button illumination turns OFF. Release the
button. The START/STOP button will illuminate after the
button is released.
l Push and hold the START button on the key fob until the
START/STOP button illumination turns OFF. Release the
button. The START/STOP button will illuminate after the
button is released.
l Push the Pairing button on the side of the control panel
until the START/STOP button illumination turns OFF.
Release the button.
l Turn the generator battery switch to the OFF position.
The remote is now paired.
