Which model this page covers

This page covers the WGen10500DFc dual fuel (part 10523) only — not the WGen11500DFc, the tri-fuel WGen10500TFc or WGen11500TFc. Westinghouse lists gasoline and propane output only; this page does not assign a natural gas rating.

Manufacturer figures vs. our estimates

Only the runtimes listed above are Westinghouse's own published figures. When your load and fuel amount exactly match one of them, the calculator labels the result Manufacturer Published Runtime. Loads between published figures are labeled Estimated from Manufacturer Data, and loads outside the published range are labeled Extrapolated with a wider range. Those are GeneratorRuntime estimates, not Westinghouse specifications.

Operate it safely

Like every portable generator, the WGen10500DFc must be operated according to the manufacturer's safety instructions: outdoors only, well away from doors, windows, and vents, with battery CO alarms inside your home. A CO shutoff feature is not a substitute for safe placement. Never refuel while the engine is running or hot.
