OPERATION
Start the unit using the recoil handle. The generator's
battery will charge as the unit runs.
l When the OUTPUT READY LED illuminates, you can
safely connect loads to the control panel receptacles.
NOTE: Verify that all devices are turned off before con-
necting them to the generator.
NOTE: Make sure that the wattage requirements for all
connected devices are in line with your generator's ca-
pabilities.
l Connect and start the largest device or appliance.
l Allow the generator output to stabilize. Once stable, the
engine should run smoothly, and the device should function
properly.
l Connect and start the next largest device or appliance.
l Allow the generator output to stabilize.
l Repeat this process for each additional load.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
See Figures 13 - 14.
l Remove any connected loads from the control panel
receptacles.
l Allow the generator to run at "no load" to reduce and
stabilize engine and alternator temperatures.
l Turn the engine/fuel control switch to the off ( O )position
To stop the unit quickly in an emergency:
l Turn the engine/fuel control switch to the off ( O ) position
LOW OIL INDICATOR
See Figure 14.
The LOW OIL LED on the control panel will illuminate when
the unit is low or out of oil. The generator will not start when
the indicator is lit. To resume normal operation, add engine
oil as described earlier in this section. Do not attempt to
crank or start engine before it has been properly ser-
viced with recommended oil.
ECO MODE
See Figure 14.
NOTICE
Always start the generator with the
ECO mode switch in the OFF position. Allow the en-
gine speed to stabilize and the OUTPUT READY LED
to illuminate before putting the ECO mode switch in
the ON position.
NOTICE
Do not use ECO mode when in par-
allel operation with another Westinghouse inverter
generator.
ECO mode minimizes fuel consumption and noise by ad-
justing 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.
To turn on ECO mode, verify that the OUTPUT READY LED
is illuminated, then push the switch to the ON position. If no
load is present, the generator RPM will drop to idle speed.
The generator will detect loads as they are applied and
increase engine RPM.
To run the generator at maximum power and RPM, push
the ECO mode switch to the OFF position.
OVERLOAD RESET
See Figure 14.
Do not overload the generator. If the generator is ap-
proaching or has reached an overload condition, the OVER-
LOAD LED on the control panel will illuminate.
If the generator is close to overloading, the OVERLOAD
LED will blink. Turn off and remove one or more connected
devices to decrease the load and resume normal operation.
If the load is not reduced, the unit will reach an overload
condition. To extend the service life of the generator, avoid
running the unit near capacity.
If the generator is overloaded or if there is a short circuit in
a connected device, the OVERLOAD LED will turn solid,
and the unit will automatically disconnect from the load.
The engine will continue to run, but there will not be any
electrical output.
To restore electrical output after an overload:
l Remove any connected loads from the control panel
receptacles.
l Push the RESET button on the control panel until the
OVERLOAD LED goes OFF and the OUTPUT READY
LED is illuminated.
l Reset the circuit breaker(s) if activated.
l Verify that the intended running and surge loads do not
exceed the generator's capacity.
l Reconnect electrical loads sequentially, allowing the
generator to stabilize after each load is connected.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
See Figure 14.
The 20 amp circuit breaker protects devices and equipment
connected to the 120V, 20 amp receptacles from electrical
overload. The 30 amp circuit breaker protects devices and
equipment connected to the 120V, 30 amp receptacles. If
a circuit breaker activates, turn off the connected device,
remove it from the port or outlet, and press the circuit
breaker to reset.
USB PORTS
See Figure 14.
Use the USB ports and USB cables (not included) to charge
USB-compatible devices such as phones, tablets, and
speakers (up to 2.1 Amps).
NOTE: The USB ports are designed for charging only and
do not have data transfer or communication capabilities.
