OPERATION
b. Remote Start: Push and hold the ON button on the
remote start key fob for one second.
c. Push-Button Start: Push and hold the engine start
button for two seconds.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices
connected.
2. Let the generator run with no load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures.
3. Push and hold the ON/OFF button for one second or
push OFF on the remote start key fob for one second.
4. Push the battery switch to the OFF position.
Note: If the engine will not be used for two weeks or longer,
refer to the Storage section for correct engine and
fuel storage procedures.
PARALLEL OPERATION
Parallel operation gives you the ability to link another compatible West-
inghouse inverter generator for combined running and peak power output.
DANGER
Never connect or disconnect the parallel cable leads
when a generator is running. Failure to follow this rule
may lead to serious personal injury or death.
WARNING
is very important when the generators are used with
a transfer switch to supply power to a building. To
avoid serious personal injury or damage to electrical
devices, including the generators, do not try to power
an electrical system in a building without using an ap-
proved transfer switch.
Fire and electrocution hazard.
Correct connection of the cables
NOTICE
Connecting to a generator that is
not compatible can cause a low voltage output that
may damage tools and appliances powered by the
generator.
Use only the Westinghouse 120V parallel cable kit that came with your
generator. Third party cables may not have the ability to carry the increased
voltage. If damage or loss occurs to your cables, call Westinghouse cus-
tomer service for a replacement.
NOTE: Make sure both units have been shut down and there are no devices
connected to the outlet receptacles.
NOTICE
Arrange the generators in a "V" shape
to allow the heat from the exhaust to safely escape.
The exhaust heat from one unit may discolor or melt
the plastic case of the other unit if positioned too close-
ly together.
To install the parallel cable:
l Insert the cable end into one of the parallel ports on the first unit. Insert
the other end of the same cable into the corresponding port on the
second unit.
l Repeat steps with the other cable.
NOTE: It is important to connect both ends of the cable to the same ports
on both generators. Make sure the same cable ends are connected to the
same port on each generator before starting the generators.
Start one generator at a time. Wait for the first unit to run at a stable idle
before starting the second unit. Connect one device at a time and allow
the unit to stabilize before connecting the next device.
To remove the parallel cable:
l Remove all devices from the generator's receptacles.
l Shut down both of the connected generators.
l Remove the parallel cable ends from the generator ports.
ECO MODE
Always start the generator with ECO MODE OFF. Allow
the engine speed to stabilize and the OUTPUT READY
LED to illuminate before switching ECO MODE ON.
Note: Do not use ECO MODE when in parallel operation
with another Westinghouse generator.
ECO MODE minimizes fuel consumption and noise by
adjusting the engine RPM to the minimum required for the
current load.
Turn ECO MODE ON when powering small appliances
with continuous loads such as a computer or electric light.
Turn ECO MODE OFF when powering large surge loads
such as an air conditioner or electric pump.
