OPERATION

GROUNDING

Shock hazard. Failure to properly ground the generator
can result in electric shock.
The generator neutral is floating. The generator ground
terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the
metal non-current-carrying parts of the generator, and
the ground terminals of each receptacle. The generator
(stator winding) is isolated from the frame and from the
AC receptacle ground pin. Electrical devices that require
a grounded receptacle pin connection may not function
properly.
If this generator will be used only with cord and plug
equipment connected to the receptacles mounted on the
generator, National Electric Code does not require that
the unit be grounded. However, other methods of using
the generator may require grounding to reduce the risk of
shock or electrocution.
Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified
electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having
jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the
intended use of the generator.
Only use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and
appliances, or double-insulated tools and appliances.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above sea
level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for every
1000 feet of increased altitude from sea level.
High altitude adjustment is required for operation at
altitudes over 5,000 ft. (1524 m). Operation without this
adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased
fuel consumption, and increased emissions. Operation of
the engine at altitudes below 2,000 ft. (762 m) with the high
altitude kit is not recommended.
High Altitude Carburetor Kit: Part# 518916-01
High Altitude DF Regulator
Manufactured before 7/19: Part# 518918
Manufactured 7/19 and later: Part# 518918-01
Note: You must purchase both the Dual Fuel Regulator
and Carburetor Kit for proper high altitude operation.

REMOTE START

Verify that the area around the generator is clear before
remote starting the generator.

NOTICE
The remote start key fob included with the generator should
be attached to the recoil handle or control panel. If your
unit was shipped without a key fob, contact Westinghouse
customer service.
The generator can be started remotely from up to 99 feet
(30 meter) using the remote start key fob.
Note: As the batteries in the remote start key fob drain,
operational distance will decrease.
Remote replacement batteries: (2) CR2016
REPROGRAMMING THE REMOTE START
If the remote start key fob is replaced or needs re-paired to
the generator, follow this procedure.
1. Turn the generator battery switch to the ON position.
2. Push and hold the ON/OFF button for 10 seconds, then
release. The start indicator light will flash green.
3. Push the ON button on the remote start key fob. It will
pair with generator automatically and the start indicator
light on the generator will stop flashing.
