PROBLEM
Engine is running, but no
5 or 12-Volt DC output is
available.
Engine stops during
operation.
TROUBLESHOOTING
POTENTIAL CAUSE
1. Connected electrical cord
or appliance plug is not
properly inserted into the
DC outlet socket.
2. Connected electrical cord or
appliance is faulty.
3. Overload or short circuit in
the connected DC load
4. If above possible causes
are checked and eliminated,
generator may be faulty.
1. Generator is out of fuel.
2. Fuel is contaminated with
water or other foreign
substance.
3. Fuel cap vent is in the OFF
position.
4. Fuel control switch is in the
OFF position.
5. Low oil level.
6. Spark plug boot is not
properly connected onto
spark plug terminal.
7. Overload or short circuit in
the connected 240-Volt AC
load.
8. If above possible causes
are checked and eliminated,
generator may be faulty.
SOLUTION
1. Check connected electrical cord or appliance plug
is fully inserted into the DC outlet socket.
2. Connect known functioning appliance directly
into generator's 12-Volt DC outlet socket to verify
electrical output.
3. Disconnect all electrical cords and devices from
generator. Re-start engine with ECO throttle switch
in the OFF position. Check that the DC device(s)
do not overload the generator's rated DC output(s).
Check that the DC device(s) are not faulty, e.g.
short circuit. Damage caused to the generator by
excessive or faulty DC loads is not covered by
warranty.
4. Take generator to an authorised Westinghouse
service dealer.
1. Check fuel level and add fuel if necessary.
2. Drain fuel and refill with fresh fuel.
3. Move fuel cap vent to the ON position.
4. Move fuel control switch to the ON position.
5. Check oil level and add oil if necessary.
6. Push spark plug boot firmly onto spark plug.
7. Disconnect all electrical cords and devices from
generator. Re-start generator with ECO throttle
switch in the OFF position and then re-connect
electrical loads individually if possible. If only single
load, check running and starting power demands
versus generator's AC output rating.
8. Take generator to an authorised Westinghouse
service dealer.
