OPERATION
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above sea
level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for every
1,000 feet of increased altitude from sea level.
High altitude adjustment is required for operation at altitudes
over 5,000 ft. (1524 m). Operation without this adjustment
will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consump-
tion, and increased emissions.
NOTICE
DO NOT operate the generator at alti-
tudes below 2,000 ft. (762 m) with the high altitude kit
installed. Engine damage may occur.

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 recep-
tacles.
l The ECO mode switch is in the OFF position.
DANGER
NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
REMOTE START
See Figure 19.
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 meters) 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 Place the generator battery switch to the ON position.
The power indicator light will illuminate.

l Push and hold the START/STOP button on the control
panel for approximately 10 seconds until it flashes rapidly.
l Push and hold the START button on the key fob until
the START/STOP is no longer illuminated. Release the
button. The START/STOP button will illuminate after the
button is released.
l Press the START button on the key fob, and if the pairing
is successful, the START/STOP button stops flashing and
will illuminate for about two seconds. When the illumination
stops, the pairing is successful.
l Turn the generator battery switch to the OFF position.
The remote is now paired.
Remote replacement batteries: (2) CR2016
STARTING THE ENGINE: GASOLINE
See Figures 18 - 20.
DANGER
NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
WARNING
generator is clear before remote starting the generator.
l Verify that fuel is in the gas tank.
l Turn the fuel selector switch on the control panel to gas-
oline operation. (See Figure 18).
l Be sure the ECO mode switch is in the OFF position.
l Place the battery switch to the ON position.
l Choose the starting method:
 •  R emoteStart: Push and hold the START button on the
remote start key fob for one second.
 •  P ush-ButtonStart:Push and hold the engine START/
STOP button for two seconds.
 •  R ecoil Start: Firmly grasp and pull the recoil handle
slowly until you feel increased resistance, then pull
rapidly.
NOTE: In extreme cold, manually close the choke by
moving it right toward the front handle of the generator.
