Westinghouse iGen series digital inverter generator

Start by manually pulling and connect the load after startup.

③ Wireless remote control start

Turn the fuel control switch to "ON" and push the engine control switch to the "AUTO RUN" position.

Aim the remote control at the device, press and hold the "ON" button for 1 second, then release it to start the engine (the effective distance of the remote control is about 50 meters).

Connect the load and press the "OFF" button on the remote control to stop the machine within 25 meters after starting.

3. Load connection specifications

240V AC load: directly or through an extension cord connected to the socket, open the waterproof cover to insert; Only supports 10A or 15A three pin plugs, and it is prohibited to connect 20A plugs (which may cause overload).

12V DC load (iGen1200/4500s): Connect using a cigarette lighter plug, with an extension cord length not exceeding 3.5 meters, and a load power not exceeding 60W (iGen1200)/100W (iGen4500s). It is prohibited to insert a car cigarette lighter (high temperature may ignite fuel).

5V DC USB load: connected using a standard A-type USB plug, with an extension cable length of no more than 2 meters and a load power of no more than 10W (suitable for charging mobile phones, tablets, and other devices).

Power calculation:

Pure resistive load (light bulb, toaster): starting power=operating power.

Motor loads (air conditioning, water pumps): starting power for small portable devices=operating power x 1.2, for large fixed devices=operating power x 3.5, total load operating power ≤ generator continuous power, total starting power ≤ generator starting power.

4. Shutdown operation (divided into normal/emergency)

(1) Normal shutdown

First, turn off or unplug all connected loads.

Run the engine without load for 1 minute to cool down the engine and generator.

Operation by model:

IGen1200: Turn the control switch clockwise to "OFF" and turn the fuel cap vent to "OFF".

IGen2200/2500: Rotate the control switch counterclockwise to "OFF" and turn the fuel cap vent to "OFF".

IGen4500s: Press the engine control switch to "STOP", then turn the fuel control switch to "OFF"; Or press the "OFF" button on the remote control (to confirm that the device has stopped).

(2) Emergency stop

Quickly execute the shutdown operation steps according to the corresponding model without the need for idle cooling, suitable for emergency situations such as equipment failure and fire.

Maintenance and storage (key to extending equipment lifespan)

1. Maintain the overall principle

Before maintenance, it is necessary to shut down, cool down, remove the spark plug cap, and operate in a ventilated area; Avoid skin contact with engine oil and fuel, wear protective gloves and glasses, and wash hands after operation.

Only use genuine Westinghouse accessories or accessories specified in the manual, non genuine may damage the device.

In harsh environments (high temperature, high humidity, high dust, high load), it is necessary to shorten the maintenance cycle.

2. Regular maintenance schedule (divided into cycles)

Maintain the project for the first 20 hours/1 month (first come) every 50 hours/3 months (first come) every 100 hours/6 months (first come) every 250 hours/1 year (first come) before each use

Check the engine oil level, if it is insufficient, add and thoroughly replace the oil - thoroughly replace the oil-

Visual inspection of air filter for cleanliness - Cleanliness (shortened cycle in dusty environment) --

Spark plug - check and clean, adjust the gap (0.7mm), replace (see the model in the table below)

Fuel Filter Screen - Cleaning-

Spark Arrester (iGen2200/2500/4500s) - Cleaning-

Inspect and clean the exterior surface to ensure that the ventilation openings are unobstructed-

Valve clearance (professional maintenance) - check and adjust

Combustion chamber (professional maintenance) - cleaned every 500 hours/2 years

3. Detailed explanation of key maintenance operations

(1) Engine oil maintenance

Oil specifications: Use four stroke engine oil with API grade ≥ SF, SAE 10W-30 for conventional environments, 15W-40 for temperatures>40 ℃, and prohibit the use of two-stroke engine oil or mixed engine oil.

Check oil level: Place the equipment horizontally, cool down after shutdown, open the oil filling port, and the oil level should be at the bottom edge of the filling port (if it is lower than, add; if it overflows, drain excess oil).

Change engine oil:

After cooling down, open the engine/oil access cover and place a drain pan under the filling port.

Unscrew the oil filler plug and tilt the equipment to drain the old oil.

Reset the device, add new engine oil of the corresponding capacity according to the model, check that the oil level meets the standard, tighten the screw plug, and cover it.

Old engine oil should be disposed of according to environmental protection requirements and should not be dumped at will.

(2) Air filter maintenance

Cleaning cycle: every 50 hours or 3 months, shortened to every 25 hours in dusty environments.

Cleaning steps:

Shutdown for cooling, open the engine access cover, and remove the air filter cover according to the model (iGen1200 press the lock, iGen2200/2500 tighten the screw, iGen4500s twist the lock).
