OPERATION
GENERATOR LOCATION
Read and understand all safety information before starting
the generator.
NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including
garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds, enclosure, or
compartment, including the generator compartment of a
recreational vehicle.
Electrocution hazard. Never use the generator in a
location that is wet or damp. Never expose the generator
to rain, snow, water spray, or standing water while in
use. Protect the generator from all hazardous weather
conditions. Moisture or ice can cause a short circuit
or other malfunction in the electrical circuit. Using a
generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such
as rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or
when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution
Fire hazard. Only operate the generator on a solid, level
surface. Operating the generator on a surface with loose
material such as sand or grass clippings can cause debris
to be ingested by the generator that could block cooling
vents or the air intake system. Allow the generator to
cool for 30 minutes before transport or storage.
(Even while not in operation). The generator must have
at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from all combustible
material.
Do not operate the generator in the back of a SUV, camper,
next to walls or buildings, or in any other location that will
not allow for adequate cooling of the generator and/or the

Asphyxiation hazard. Place the generator in a well-
ventilated area. DO NOT place the generator near vents
or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into
and air currents when positioning the generator.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above sea
1000 feet of increased altitude from sea level.
High altitude adjustment is required for operation at
altitudes over 2,000 ft. (762 m). Operation without this
adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased
fuel consumption,
NOTICE
Do not operate the generator at altitudes below 2,000
ft. (762 m) with the high altitude kit installed. Engine
damage may occur.
REMOTE START
Verify that the area around the generator is clear before
remote starting the generator.
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.
As the batteries in the remote start key fob drain,
operational distance will decrease.
