Fuel Filter; Battery Maintenance; Battery Replacement - Westinghouse WGen9500DFc Mode D'emploi

FUEL FILTER

Replace the fuel filter after 100 hours of use.
Note: Have an appropriate gasoline container and rags
ready to catch residual fuel in the filter and fuel line.
1. Allow the generator to cool completely.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
3. Note the orientation of the fuel filter. Using pliers, remove
the fuel line clamps and remove the fuel filter.
4. Install the new fuel filter in the reverse order of removal.
FUEL VALVE MAINTENANCE
The fuel valve is equipped with an inline fuel filter. The
fuel valve filter does not require servicing if the unit
is properly maintained with fresh, clean fuel. If fuel-
related troubleshooting is required, perform fuel valve
maintenance.
1. Allow the generator to cool completely.
2. Place an appropriate gasoline container under the
carburetor drain bolt to catch the drained fuel.
3. Remove the drain bolt on the bottom of the carburetor
and allow the fuel tank to drain completely. Install and
tighten the drain bolt securely.
4. Remove the fuel line from the fuel valve. Be prepared to
capture the remaining fuel from the fuel line.
5. Loosen the retaining bolt. Unscrew and remove the fuel
valve from the fuel tank. Be prepared to capture any
remaining fuel from the fuel tank.
6. Open the fuel valve. Use compressed air to clean the
fuel filter and the fuel passage from the fuel line side of
the passage.
MAINTENANCE
7. Install and tighten the fuel valve until it has a few threads
remaining and is facing outward.
8. Hold it in place and tighten the retaining bolt. DO NOT
overtighten.
9. Replace the fuel line and secure with the clamp.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Explosion hazard. Batteries emit explosive gases while
charging. Keep fire and spark away.
The battery shipped with the generator has been fully
charged. A battery may lose some charge when not in use
for prolonged periods of time.
Note: Once started, the generator will charge the battery
after 30–60 minutes of use.
The included trickle charger can remain connected and
will maintain the battery for an indefinite period of time. A
red light on the charger indicates charging in progress. A
green light indicates charging complete. Charge in a dry
location.
1. Plug the charger into the battery charging port on the
control panel.
2. Plug the wall receptacle end of the battery charger into
a 120 Volt AC wall outlet.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Burn hazard. The battery contains sulfuric acid
(electrolyte) which is highly corrosive and poisonous.
Wear protective clothing and eye protection when
working near the battery. Keep children away from the
battery.
Battery posts, terminals contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
1. Loosen and remove the bolt on the battery hold-down
plate and swing the plate out.
2. Disconnect the quick-connect plugs and remove the
battery from the unit.
3. Disconnect the quick-disconnect cable leads from the
battery.
