TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
Engine is running, but
no 240-Volt AC output is
available.
Engine is running, but
no 12-Volt DC output is
available.
36
POTENTIAL CAUSE
1. If output indicator light is
green, 240-Volt AC output
should be available.
2. Connected electrical cord
or appliance plug is not
properly inserted into 240-
Volt AC outlet socket.
3. Connected electrical cord or
appliance is faulty.
4. If output indicator light is not
illuminated, there is no 240-
Volt AC output available. In
such case:
• If overload alarm light is not
illuminated, generator may
be faulty.
• If overload alarm light is red,
there is an overload or short
circuit in the connected 240-
Volt AC load.
5. If above possible causes
are checked and eliminated,
generator may be faulty.
1. Connected electrical cord
or appliance plug is not
properly inserted into 12-Volt
DC outlet socket.
2. Connected electrical cord or
appliance is faulty.
3. Overload or short circuit in
the connected 12-Volt DC
load
4. If above possible causes
are checked and eliminated,
generator may be faulty.
SOLUTION
1. Check connected electrical cord(s) or appliance(s)
as described below.
2. Check connected electrical cord or appliance plug
is fully inserted into 240-Volt AC outlet socket.
3. Connect known functioning appliance directly into
generator's 240-Volt AC outlet socket to verify
electrical output.
• Disconnect all electrical cords and devices
from generator and press the generator reset
button. If unresolved, stop and re-start engine
with ECO throttle switch in the OFF position. If
still unresolved, take generator to an authorised
Westinghouse service dealer.
• Disconnect all electrical cords and devices from
generator and press the generator reset button.
If unresolved, stop and re-start engine with ECO
throttle switch in the OFF position. Reconnect
and test run 240-Volt AC loads individually; any
single cord or device that trips overload alarm is
either faulty or too great a load for the generator.
Any faulty 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 generator's rating.
5. Take generator to an authorised Westinghouse
service dealer.
1. Check connected electrical cord or appliance plug
is fully inserted into 12-Volt 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 12-Volt DC
device(s) do not impose a total load greater than
100 W or a total current draw of more than 8 A.
Check that the 12-Volt DC device(s) are not faulty,
e.g. short circuit. Damage caused to the generator
by excessive or faulty 12-Volt DC loads is not
covered by warranty.
4. Take generator to an authorised Westinghouse
service dealer.
