Figure 21 – ECO Throttle Switch in the ON Position
To deactivate ECO mode, move the ECO throttle
switch to the OFF position.
OVERLOAD RESET
An electrical overload or short circuit will trip the
overload protection system by disconnecting the
generator's AC output even though the engine is still
running. If this occurs, the overload alarm light will
be illuminated red and the output indicator light will
be off. The AC output can be restored as follows:
1. Turn off or unplug any electrical devices or cords
from the 240-Volt AC, 12-Volt DC accessory and
5-Volt DC USB receptacles on the control panel.
2. iGen1200, 2200 & 2500: Stop and re-start the
generator.
iGen4500s: Press the generator reset button
on the control panel until the overload alarm
light goes off and the output indicator light is
illuminated green.
3. Check that the intended electrical running and
starting loads do not exceed the generator's
capacity or have a licensed electrician rectify any
fault causing a short circuit in the load.
4. Reconnect any electrical devices or cords to the
receptacles on the control panel and then turn on
the electrical loads as required.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
Normal Operation
During normal operation, use the following steps to
stop the generator:
1. Turn off or unplug any electrical cords or devices
from the 240-Volt AC, 12-Volt DC accessory and
5-Volt DC USB receptacles on the control panel.
2. Allow the generator to run unloaded for at least
one minute to cool and stabilise the engine and
alternator temperatures.
OPERA TION
3. iGen1200: Turn the engine and fuel control switch
clockwise to the OFF position.
iGen2200 & 2500: Turn the engine, fuel and choke
control switch anti-clockwise to the OFF position.
iGen4500s:
(a) Push the engine control switch to the STOP
position and then turn the fuel control switch to
the OFF position; or
(b) Point the remote control in the direction of
the generator and momentarily press the remote
control's OFF button for at least one second and
then release it.
WARNING
If stopping the iGen4500s by remote
control, use audible or visual means
to verify that the generator has
actually stopped running.
Push the engine control switch to the STOP
position and then turn the fuel control switch
to the OFF position unless the generator is
intentionally required to be on non-operating
standby awaiting a start command by remote
control.
4. Turn the fuel cap vent anti-clockwise to the
OFF position (if equipped).
During an Emergency
If there is an emergency and the generator must
be stopped quickly, follow the procedure in Step 3
above with haste.
APPLICATION AND DUTY
CYCLE
All models within this range of Westinghouse
generators are portable, air-cooled, petrol-
engine driven, self-contained units designed for
independent supply of electrical power. They are
ideal as a backup power supply in the event of
mains power failure or as a remote area power
supply for use when camping, caravanning or
working out in the field.
For most common applications, users can connect a
Westinghouse generator to power electrical devices
by detachable plug and socket-outlet connection as
described in this manual.
Westinghouse generators can also be connected
to a fixed electrical installation such as in a house
or business premises, for example, by a licensed
electrician.
