Break-In Period; Before Starting The Generator; Starting The Engine; Stopping The Engine - Westinghouse WGen7500c Manual Del Usuario

BREAK-IN PERIOD

For proper break-in, DO NOT exceed 50% of the rated
running watts (3750 watts) during the first five hours of
operation.
Vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat
and cool and help seat the piston rings.

BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR

Verify that:
• The generator is placed in an safe, appropriate location.
• The generator is on a dry, flat, and level surface.
• The engine is filled with oil.
• All loads are disconnected.
Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT move or tip the
generator during operation.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Verify that gasoline is in the fuel tank.
2. Turn the fuel tank valve to the ON position.
3. Push the battery switch to the ON position.
4. Choose the starting method:
a. Remote Start: Push and hold the START button on
the remote start key fob for one second.
Note: Remote start-equipped generators must be restarted
with the START/STOP switch on the control panel
after an automatic shut-down occurs.
b. Push-Button Start: Push and hold the engine
START/STOP button for two seconds.
c. Recoil Start: Manually close the choke if the engine
is cold. Firmly grasp and pull the recoil handle slowly
until you feel increased resistance, then pull rapidly.

OPERATION
Note: During Push-Button or Remote Start the engine
will automatically set the choke and begin the start
sequence. If the engine fails to start, the generator
will attempt to start the engine two more times.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads.
IMPORTANT: NEVER start or stop the generator with
electrical devices connected.
2. Let the generator run with no load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of the engine.
3. Push and hold the START/STOP button for one second
or push STOP on the remote start key fob for one
second.
Note: Alternately, if the generator is used infrequently, turn
the fuel tank valve to the OFF position to limit the
residual fuel remaining in the carburetor float bowl.
The engine will stop when fuel in the carburetor and
fuel line is exhausted.
4. Push the battery switch to the OFF position.
5. If operating on LPG, turn the propane tank valve to the
fully closed position.

FREQUENCY OF USE

If the generator will be used on an infrequent or intermittent
basis (more than one month before next use), refer to
the Battery Maintenance and Storage sections of this
manual for information regarding battery charging and fuel
deterioration.

AC CIRCUIT BREAKERS

The circuit breakers will automatically switch OFF if there
is a short circuit or a significant overload of the generator
at each receptacle.
If an AC circuit breaker switches OFF automatically,
check that the appliance is working correctly and it does
not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before
resetting the AC circuit breaker ON.
