Transporting; St Switch - Westinghouse WGen20000c User Manual

OPERATION
Fire and electrocution hazard. NEVER use worn or
damaged extension cords. Damaged or overloaded
extension cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting
in death or serious injury.
Before connecting an AC appliance or power cord to the
generator:
• Use grounded 3-prong extension cords, tools, and
appliances, or double-insulated tools and appliances.
• Make sure the tool or appliance is in good working
order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a
potential for electric shock.
• Make sure the electrical rating of the tool or appliance
does not exceed the rated power of the generator or the
receptacle being used.
EXTENSION CORD SIZING
Only use grounded 3-prong extension cords marked for
outdoor use that are rated for the electrical load.

TRANSPORTING

Weight hazard. ALWAYS have assistance when lifting
the generator.
• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes
before transporting.
• If operating on propane, turn the propane tank valve to
the fully closed position.
• Replace all protective covers on the generator control
panel.
• Keep the unit level during transport to minimize the
possibility of fuel leakage or, if possible, drain the fuel

or run the engine until the fuel tank is empty before
transport.
• The generator wheels are only intended for hand
transport. The wheels are not suitable for towing the
generator either on or off-road.
• Use the extendable handle for hand transport. Only use
the handle while the generator is OFF, stationary, and
resting on a horizontal surface. DO NOT use the handle
to lift the generator entirely off the ground, tow it, or up-
end it.
Fire hazard. DO NOT up-end the generator or place it on
its side. Fuel or oil can leak and damage to the generator
may occur.

ST SWITCH

The WGen20000c is compatible with the ST Switch,
purchased separately. When utility power is on it will
provide power (up to 120V @ 20A) to the appliances
plugged into the 5-20R receptacle on the ST Switch. When
utility power is lost the ST Switch automatically transfers
input power from utility to generator power. When utility
power is restored, the ST Switch transfers input power
back to utility. Visit www.westinghouseoutdoorpower.com
