SAFETY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE
CO SENSOR
The CO Sensor monitors for the accumulation of
poisonous carbon monoxide gas around the generator
when the engine is running. If increasing levels of CO
gas are detected, the CO Sensor automatically shuts
down the engine.
The CO Sensor will also detect the accumulation of
carbon monoxide from other fuel burning sources used
in the area of operation. For example, if the exhaust of
fuel burning 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 occupied 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
personnel 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 Sensor 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
monoxide 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 immediately. Call emergency services.
You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

DESCRIPTION
Unsafe levels of carbon monoxide
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 generator was
shut-off due to carbon monoxide
levels rising above a safe threshold.
RED
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 gener-
ator 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
YELLOW
the control panel will flash to 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 Westing-
house service center.
