Frequently asked questions
What fuels can I use?
This model runs on gasoline or propane (LPG), letting you choose between the two.
Can it connect to my home's backup system?
Both the 50A 14–50R and 30A L14-30R outlets are transfer-switch ready. Use a properly installed transfer switch matched to your home's setup.
Can I operate it indoors?
No. Operate fuel-powered generators outdoors, away from doors, windows, and vents. The CO sensor does not make indoor operation safe.
Why might a new generator have an oil or fuel odor?
Westinghouse functionally tests its generators at the factory, so minimal residual oil or fuel odor may remain.
Bring fuel flexibility, convenient starting, and substantial backup capacity to your power plan. Order the Westinghouse WGen9500DFc EFI for home, work, and outdoor power needs.
