OPERATION
Use only the Westinghouse 120V parallel cable kit that
came with your generator. Third party cables may not have
the ability to carry the increased voltage. If damage or loss
occurs to your cables, call Westinghouse customer service
for a replacement.
NOTE: Make sure both units have been shut down and
there are no devices connected to the outlet receptacles.
NOTICE
Arrange the generators in a "V" shape
to allow the heat from the exhaust to safely escape.
The exhaust heat from one unit may discolor or melt
the plastic case of the other unit if positioned too close-
ly together.
To install the parallel cable:
l Insert the cable end into one of the parallel ports on the
first unit. Insert the other end of the same cable into the
corresponding port on the second unit.
l Repeat steps with the other cable.
NOTE: It is important to connect both ends of the cable to
the same ports on both generators. Make sure the same
cable ends are connected to the same port on each gener-
ator before starting the generators.
Start one generator at a time. Wait for the first unit to run
at a stable idle before starting the second unit. Connect
one device at a time and allow the unit to stabilize before
connecting the next device.

TRANSPORTING
l Turn off the generator.
l Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes

l Replace all protective covers on the generator control
panel.
l Only use the generator's fixed handle to lift the unit or
attach any load restraints such as ropes or tie-down straps.
DO NOT attempt to lift or secure the generator by holding
onto any of its other components.
l Keep the unit level during transport to minimize the pos-
sibility of fuel leakage or, if possible, drain the fuel or run
the engine until the fuel tank is empty before transport.
CAUTION

CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Do not store or operate your generator in dirty, dusty, or
corrosive environments. Do not allow foreign materials and
debris to clog the vents on the unit.
NEVER clean the generator with a garden hose. Water can
damage the generator's fuel system and electrical compo-
nents. If the unit needs to be cleaned, use a soft brush and
damp cloth to clean the exterior and use low pressure air
(no greater than 25 psi) to clean the vents.
Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
Fire hazard. DO NOT up-end the
