OPERATION
l When the OUTPUT READY LED illuminates, you can
safely connect loads to the control panel receptacles.
NOTE: Verify that all devices are turned off before
connecting them to the generator.
NOTE: Make sure that the wattage requirements for
all connected devices are in line with your generator's
capabilities.
l Connect and start the largest device or appliance.
l Allow the generator output to stabilize. Once stable,
the engine should run smoothly, and the device should
function properly.
l Connect and start the next largest device or appliance.
l Allow the generator output to stabilize.
l Repeat this process for each additional load.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
See Figures 10 - 11.
l Remove any connected loads from the control panel
receptacles.
l Allow the generator to run at "no load" to reduce and
stabilize engine and alternator temperatures.
l Turn the engine/fuel control switch to the OFF
l Turn the vent knob on the fuel cap to the OFF position.
To stop the unit quickly in an emergency:
l Turn the engine/fuel control switch to the OFF
LOW OIL INDICATOR
See Figure 12.
The LOW OIL LED on the control panel will illuminate
when the unit is low or out of oil. The generator will not
start when the indicator is lit. To resume normal operation,
add engine oil as described earlier in this section. Do not
attempt to crank or start engine before it has been
properly serviced with recommended oil.
ECO MODE
See Figure 12.
NOTICE
the ECO mode switch in the OFF position. Allow the
engine speed to stabilize and the OUTPUT READY
LED to illuminate before putting the ECO mode switch
in the ON position.
NOTICE
parallel operation with another Westinghouse inverter
generator.
ECO mode minimizes fuel consumption and noise by
adjusting the engine RPM to the minimum required for the
current load.
Turn ECO mode ON when powering small appliances with
continuous loads such as a computer or electric light.
Turn ECO mode OFF when powering large surge loads
such as an air conditioner or electric pump.
Always start the generator with
Do not use ECO mode when in
To turn on ECO mode, verify that the OUTPUT READY
LED is illuminated, then push the switch to the ON
position. If no load is present, the generator RPM will
drop to idle speed. The generator will detect loads as
they are applied and increase engine RPM.
To run the generator at maximum power and RPM,
push the ECO mode switch to the OFF position.
OVERLOAD RESET
See Figure 12.
Do not overload the generator. If the generator is
approaching or has reached an overload condition, the
OVERLOAD LED on the control panel will illuminate.
If the generator is close to overloading, the OVERLOAD
LED will blink. Turn off and remove one or more
connected devices to decrease the load and resume
normal operation. If the load is not reduced, the unit will
reach an overload condition. To extend the service life
of the generator, avoid running the unit near capacity.
If the generator is overloaded or if there is a short circuit
in a connected device, the OVERLOAD LED will turn
solid, and the unit will automatically disconnect from
the load. The engine will continue to run, but there will
position
not be any electrical output.
To restore electrical output after an overload:
l Remove any connected loads from the control panel
position
receptacles.
l Push the RESET button on the control panel until the
OVERLOAD LED goes OFF and the OUTPUT READY
LED is illuminated.
l Reset the circuit breaker(s) if activated.
l Verify that the intended running and surge loads do not
exceed the generator's capacity.
l Reconnect electrical loads sequentially, allowing the
generator to stabilize after each load is connected.
