GENERATOR PREPARATION
After completing the above preparation, the generator is ready to be started.
STEP 3 - GROUND THE GENERATOR
To reduce the risk of electric shock and to maximize safety,
the generator should be properly grounded. Ground the gen-
erator by tightening the grounding nut on the front control
panel (Fig. 5) against a grounding wire. A generally accept-
able grounding wire is a
No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge)
stranded copper wire.
This grounding wire should be connected at the other end
to a copper, brass, or steel-grounding rod that is driven into
the earth. Wire and grounding rods are not included with the
generator.

WARNING:
Failure to properly ground the generator increases your risk of electric shock.

NOTE:
Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electrician to check the area codes.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION ABOVE 2000 FEET
The fuel system on this generator may be affected by operation at high altitudes. Proper operation can be
ensured by installing an altitude kit at altitudes higher than 2000 feet above sea level. At elevations above
7000 feet, the engine may experience a decrease in performance, even with the proper altitude kit. Operat-
ing this generator without said kit may increase the engine’s emissions and decrease both fuel economy
and performance.
The high altitude kit can be ordered from
wenproducts.com
by searching the model number 56155-HA .
This kit should be installed by a qualified mechanic. Refer to the instructions included with your altitude kit
for more information about installation.
WARNING:
To prevent serious injury from fire, follow the kit installation procedures in a well-ven-
tilated area away from ignition sources. If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off and wait for it
to cool before proceeding. Do not smoke near the generator. Warranty will be void if adjustments are not
made for high altitude use.
CAUTION:
Engines with the high-altitude kit installed operated at lower altitudes could cause severe
engine damage and affect emissions compliance. Be sure to UNINSTALL the high altitude kit when op-
erating at altitudes below 2000 feet.
