SAFETY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE
CO SENSOR
The CO Sensor monitors for the accumulation of poisonous carbon
monoxide gas around the generator when the engine is running.
If increasing levels of CO gas are detected, the CO Sensor auto-
matically shuts down the engine.
The CO Sensor will also detect the accumulation of carbon monox-
ide from other fuel burning sources used in the area of operation.
For example, if the exhaust of fuel burning tools is pointed at a
CO Sensor-equipped generator, a shut-off may be initiated due to
rising CO levels. This is not an error. Hazardous carbon monoxide
has been detected. Move and redirect any additional fuel burning
sources to dissipate carbon monoxide away from personnel and
occupied buildings.
NOTE: Remote start-equipped generators must be restarted with
the START/STOP button on the control panel after an automatic
shut-down occurs.
Generators are intended to be used outdoors, far from occupied
buildings and the exhaust pointed away from personnel and
buildings. If misused and operated in a location that results in
the accumulation of CO, like in a partially enclosed area, the CO
Sensor shuts off the engine and the RED indicator light will flash
notifiying the user that there are unsafe levels of carbon monoxide.
If the generator shuts off and the RED indicator light flashes, leave
the area immediately. Wait for the carbon monoxide to dissipate
and the RED indicator light to turn off before returning to the
affected area. Once it is safe to return, read the Action Label for
further steps to take. The CO Sensor DOES NOT replace car-
bon monoxide alarms. Install battery-powered carbon monoxide
alarm(s) in the home.
WARNING
a flashing RED light in the CO Sensor portion of the control
panel is an indication that the generator was improperly
located which allowed carbon monoxide to accumulate to
unsafe levels. If feeling sick, dizzy, weak, or carbon monox-
ide detectors in the home indicate an alarm, get to fresh air
immediately. Call emergency services. This may be carbon
monoxide poisoning.

DESCRIPTION
Unsafe levels of carbon monoxide
accumulated around the generator.
After shut-off, the RED indicator light
in the CO Sensor area of the control
panel will flash to provide notification
that the generator was shut-off due to
carbon monoxide levels rising above
RED
a safe threshold. The RED light will
flash for at least five minutes after a
CO shut-off.
When it is safe to do so, move the
generator to an open, outdoor area far
away from occupied spaces with ex-
haust pointed away. Once relocated to
a safe area and the red light is off, the
generator can be restarted. Introduce
fresh air and ventilate the area where
the generator had shut down.
A CO sensor system fault occurred.
When a system fault occurs, the gen-
erator is automatically shut down and
the YELLOW indicator light in the CO
auto-shutoff area of the control panel
YELLOW
will flash to provide notification that a
fault has occurred. The YELLOW light
will flash for at least five minutes after
a fault. The generator can be restarted
but may continue to shutoff. A CO
sensor fault can only be diagnosed
and repaired by an authorized West-
inghouse service center.
