Westinghouse 2400i digital inverter generator

Clean the area around the oil filling port with a clean cloth to prevent impurities from entering.

Using the included fuel can, slowly add oil to the bottom edge of the filling port (the oil level should be level with the filling port and not overflow).

Tighten the oil filling plug, close the maintenance cover, and wipe off any remaining oil.

Fuel filling:

Unscrew the fuel cap (counterclockwise) and clean the area around the fuel port.

Add unleaded gasoline of grade 91 or above, with the fuel level not exceeding the red limit ring inside the fuel tank.

Tighten the fuel cap (clockwise), turn the fuel cap vent to the ON position, and check for fuel leaks.

2. Start up process (including differences in cooling/heating)

Step operation content: Key points for starting a cold machine, key points for starting a hot machine

1. Environmental and status confirmation: Outdoor ventilation, flat and dry ground, disconnect all loads and start the refrigeration unit

2. Prepare the fuel system and turn the fuel control switch to ON. Turn the fuel cap vent to ON and start the cooling machine

Adjust the air damper to the START position (fully pulled out) and keep it in the RUN position (pushed in)

4. Start operation: Hold down the generator body with one hand (to prevent vibration displacement), and hold the recoil start handle with the other hand. Slowly pull until you feel an increase in resistance (piston compression stroke), then quickly and forcefully pull the handle. After starting, slowly release it back (to avoid the handle rebounding and hitting the body). The pulling resistance is small and does not require excessive force. Keep running directly after starting

After preheating and adjusting the engine, let it idle for 3-5 minutes, gradually push the throttle to the RUN position, and observe that the instrument voltage stabilizes at around 240V without prolonged preheating. After starting, connect a light load

3. Operation and monitoring during operation

Load connection:

Confirm that the generator is running stably and the output indicator light (green) is on.

240V equipment: directly plugged into an AC socket or connected through a qualified extension cord; Ensure that the plug is fully in contact during insertion to avoid loosening and overheating.

12V device: Insert the cigarette lighter plug into the DC socket, ensuring that the plug is securely fastened; The total power shall not exceed 100W.

Operation monitoring:

Real time monitoring of instruments: The voltage should be stable between 230-250V, and the speed should vary with the load (in ECO mode, the lower the load, the lower the speed).

Monitor engine sound: During normal operation, the sound is uniform and there is no abnormal noise (such as knocking or whistling); If there is any abnormal noise, stop the machine immediately for inspection.

Check the indicator lights: both the low fuel alarm light and the overload alarm light should be turned off; If it lights up, follow the troubleshooting process.

load regulation:

To avoid sudden connection of high-power loads (such as air conditioning and water pumps), the load switch should be turned off first, and then gradually turned on after connection.

When multiple devices are used simultaneously, connect the low-power device first and then the high-power device to ensure that the total starting power does not exceed 2400W.

If there is an overload alarm (red light on), immediately disconnect part of the load, wait for 30 seconds, press the reset button, and then reconnect.

4. Shutdown process (including different scenarios)

Precautions for operating steps in shutdown scenarios

Normal shutdown: 1. Disconnect all loads (unplug or turn off the device switch); 2. Run the generator without load for 1 minute (cool down the engine and generator); 3. Press and hold the engine stop button until the engine is completely stopped; 4. Turn the fuel control switch to OFF; 5. Turn the fuel cap vent to OFF; 6. Close all waterproof covers of sockets and cover them with dust covers (if not used for a long time). Do not stop the machine directly, otherwise it may cause carbon buildup in the engine and overheating of the generator

Emergency shutdown (such as fire or leakage): Press and hold the engine stop button until the machine stops; Follow the normal process to check for faults and use them again after troubleshooting. Only for emergency situations, frequent emergency shutdowns may affect the lifespan of the equipment

Long term shutdown (over 1 week): 1. Disconnect all loads and run without load for 1 minute; 2. Turn the fuel control switch to OFF and allow the engine to continue running until the fuel runs out and automatically shuts down; 3. Close the fuel cap vent; 4. Drain the engine oil (if not used for more than 3 months); 5. Clean the surface of the generator and cover it with a dust cover to prevent fuel from deteriorating and blocking the oil circuit, thus extending the storage life

5. Two methods for charging 12V batteries (including safety points)

Method 1: Direct charging from DC socket (emergency use)

Tool preparation: 12V DC charging cable (with cigarette lighter plug and crocodile clip, rated current ≥ 8A), battery to be charged (12V lead-acid battery).
