SAFETY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE
CO SENSOR
The CO Sensor monitors for the accumulation of poison-
ous carbon monoxide gas around the generator when the
engine is running. If increasing levels of CO gas are de-
tected, the CO Sensor automatically shuts down the en-
gine.
The CO Sensor will also detect the accumulation of car-
bon monoxide from other fuel burning sources used in the
area of operation. For example, if the exhaust of fuel burn-
ing tools is pointed at a CO Sensor-equipped generator, a
shut-off may be initiated due to rising CO levels. This is not
an error. Hazardous carbon monoxide has been detected.
Move and redirect any additional fuel burning sources to
dissipate carbon monoxide away from personnel and oc-
cupied buildings.
NOTE: Remote start-equipped generators must be restarted
with the START/STOP button on the control panel after an
automatic shut-down occurs.
Generators are intended to be used outdoors, far from
occupied buildings and the exhaust pointed away from per-
sonnel and buildings. If misused and operated in a location
that results in the accumulation of CO, like in a partially
enclosed area, the CO Sensor shuts off the engine and the
RED indicator light will flash notifiying the user that there
are unsafe levels of carbon monoxide.
If the generator shuts off and the RED indicator light flashes,
leave the area immediately. Wait for the carbon monoxide
to dissipate and the RED indicator light to turn off before
returning to the affected area. Once it is safe to return, read
the Action Label for further steps to take. The CO Sen-
sor DOES NOT replace carbon monoxide alarms. Install
battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm(s) in your home.
WARNING
with a flashing RED light in the CO Sensor portion of
the control panel is an indication that the generator
was improperly located which allowed carbon mon-
oxide to accumulate to unsafe levels. If you start to
feel sick, dizzy, weak, or carbon monoxide detectors in
your home indicate an alarm, get to fresh air immedi-
ately. Call emergency services. You may have carbon
monoxide poisoning.

DESCRIPTION
Unsafe levels of carbon mon-
oxide accumulated around the
generator. After shut-off, the RED
indicator light in the CO Sensor
area of the control panel will flash
to provide notification that the gen-
erator was shut-off due to carbon
monoxide levels rising above a
RED
safe threshold. The RED light will
flash for at least five minutes after
a CO shut-off.
When it is safe to do so, move the
generator to an open, outdoor area
far away from occupied spaces
with exhaust pointed away. Once
relocated to a safe area and the
red light is off, the generator can
be restarted. Introduce fresh air
and ventilate the area where the
generator had shut down.
A CO sensor system fault occurred.
When a system fault occurs, the
generator is automatically shut
down and the YELLOW indicator
light in the CO auto-shutoff area
of the control panel will flash to
YELLOW
provide notification that a fault
has occurred. The YELLOW light
will flash for at least five minutes
after a fault. The generator can
be restarted but may continue to
shutoff. A CO sensor fault can only
be diagnosed and repaired by an
authorized Westinghouse service
center.
