POTENTIAL CAUSE
1. Electrical overload or short
circuit in connected cord(s) or
devices(s).
2. If above possible cause is
checked and eliminated,
generator may be faulty.

1. The generator may be faulty.
SOLUTION
1. Disconnect all electrical cords and devices from
generator and switch all 240-Volt AC circuit breakers
OFF. Check RCD safety switch is in ON position (if
equipped). Reconnect and test run 240-Volt AC loads
individually. Any single cord or device that trips the
individual circuit breaker again is either faulty or too
great a load for the circuit. Any faulty electrical device
must not be used further until checked and approved
by a licensed electrician. Check running and starting
power demands of total connected electrical load
versus the generator's or outlet's rating (whichever is
the lesser).
2. Take generator to an authorized Westinghouse
service dealer.
1. Disconnect any electrical cord or device from 12-
Volt DC accessory socket. Reset 12-Volt DC circuit
breaker to ON position. Reconnect and test run 12-
Volt DC cord or device. Any cord or device that trips
the circuit breaker again is either faulty or too great a
load for the circuit. Any faulty electrical device must
not be used further until checked and approved by a
licensed electrician. Check running power demand
of total connected electrical load versus the outlet's
rating.
