What to do if my Westinghouse iGen4000c starts, then shuts down?
If your Westinghouse Portable Generator starts and then shuts down, it could be due to: * Low or depleted fuel level, so refuel it. * Incorrect engine oil level, so check it. * Dirty air filter, so clean it. * Contaminated gasoline, so drain the fuel tank and refuel with fresh gasoline.
How to fix a Westinghouse iGen4000c Portable Generator that lacks power?
If your Westinghouse Portable Generator lacks power, it might be because: * The air filter is restricted, so clean or replace it. * The gasoline is stale, the generator was stored without treating or draining gasoline, or it was refueled with bad gasoline, so drain the fuel tank and refuel with fresh gasoline.
Why is there no power at the AC receptacles of my Westinghouse iGen4000c?
If there's no power at the AC receptacles of your Westinghouse Portable Generator, it could be due to: * The OUTPUT READY LED being OFF and the OVERLOAD LED being ON, so check the AC load and restart the engine. * The AC circuit breaker/s being tripped, so check the AC loads and reset the circuit breaker/s. * A faulty power tool or appliance, so replace or repair the tool or appliance, then stop and restart the engine.
What to do if Westinghouse iGen4000c Portable Generator engine runs rough?
If your Westinghouse Portable Generator engine runs roughly or bogs when a load is applied, it could be due to: * A dirty air filter, so clean it. * The generator being overloaded, so unplug some devices. * A faulty power tool or appliance, so replace or repair the tool or appliance, then stop and restart the engine.
Why won't my Westinghouse Portable Generator start?
Your Westinghouse Portable Generator might not start due to several reasons: * It may be out of fuel, so refuel it. * The gasoline may be stale, or the generator was stored without treating or draining the gasoline, or it was refueled with bad gasoline, so drain the gasoline tank and refuel with fresh gasoline. * The air filter may be dirty, so clean it. * The low engine oil level may have stopped the generator, so if the LOW OIL LED is illuminated, turn the engine/fuel control switch to the OFF position and add engine oil. * The spark plug may be wet with fuel (flooded engine), so wait five minutes, turn the engine/fuel control switch to the OFF position, and pull the recoil handle rapidly several times; if the generator still does not start, remove the spark plug and dry it. *...
