USING YOUR GENERATOR
PARALLEL OPERATION
The parallel connection ports (Fig. 14) allow you to connect two
WEN generators to increase the total available electrical power.
The WEN Parallel Connection Kit can be purchased from
wenproducts.com.
Follow the instructions included with your
parallel connection kit for proper installation and operation.
IN CASE OF OVERLOAD
If your generator becomes overloaded from too much drawn
wattage, the overload indicator (red) on the control panel will
light up. Follow the instructions below when an overload occurs:
• When you’re close to overloading the generator, the overload
light will start to flash. Reduce the load by turning off and dis-
connecting your electronic device(s) until the overload light turns
off. Then you may continue to operate your generator.
• When you’ve overloaded the generator, the overload light will stay on and the reset button (Fig. 15) will activate
to cut off the output in 3 to 16 seconds, depending on the load. Reduce the load by turning off and disconnecting
your electrical device(s) until the overload light turns off. Wait about five minutes and then press the activated reset
button to reset the circuit. If no power is produced after resetting, turn off and disconnect all electrical devices and
restart your generator.
