OPERATION
Fire and electrocution hazard. Never use worn or
damaged extension cords. Damaged or overloaded
extension cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting
in death or serious injury.
Before connecting an AC appliance or power cord to the
generator:
• Use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and
appliances, or double-insulated tools and appliances.
• Make sure the tool or appliance is in good working
order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a
potential for electric shock.
• Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance
does not exceed the rated power of the generator or the
receptacle being used.
EXTENSION CORD SIZING
Only use grounded 3-prong extension cords marked for
outdoor use that are rated for the electrical load.
PARALLEL OPERATION
Fire and electrocution hazard. Never connect or
disconnect the parallel cord leads when a generator is
running.
Correct connection of the left and right cables is very
important when the generators are used with a transfer
switch to suppy 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 approved transfer switch.
Connecting to a generator that is not compatible can
cause a low voltage output that can damage tools and
appliances powered by the generator.
Parallel operation gives you the ability to link to a compatible
Westinghouse Inverter Generator with the included parallel
cord for combined running and peak power output.
A Westinghouse 507PC
separately) is also compatible. This cord can be purchased
from an authorized Westinghouse Generator dealer.
Note: Compatible
Westinghouse
parallel ports can be operated in parallel with the
receptacle-mounted parallel cable, Part# 260041.
DO NOT use ECO MODE during parallel operation if
powering large surge loads such as an air conditioner or
electric pump. Engine rpm may not adjust quickly enough
to provide the voltage requirements of large surge loads,
causing damage to the devices or the generators.
1. On both generators, make sure the engine/fuel switch
and the ECO MODE switch are in the OFF position.
2. Connect two parallel cable leads to the parallel outlets
on the first generator, then connect the opposite cable
leads to the other generator's parallel outlets.
Note: If powering devices directly from the generators
(not connected to a building's transfer switch), you
do not need to match the left/right cables to the
generator's parallel outlets.
3. Start one of the generators and wait until the OUTPUT
READY LED illuminates.
4. Start the second generator and wait until the OUTPUT
READY LED illuminates before connecting a load.
5. Connect additional loads as described in Power
Management section.
6. Unplug all loads before stopping the generators.
