PREPARATION
Lower Limit
Upper Limit
TO CHECK OIL LEVEL
(before every subsequent start):
1. Place the generator on a level surface. Make sure the en-
gine is OFF before adding or checking oil.
2. Remove and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.
3. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill without screwing it in.
Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark.
4. If the oil mark covers
less than one half
of the dipstick,
slowly
add oil
until the oil mark measures between the up-
per limit mark and halfway mark of the dipstick. See Fig. 3.
TIP:
Your WEN generator is compatible with the
WEN 55201
Magnetic Oil Dipstick (not included), available for
purchase at
wenproducts.com
. The dipstick’s industrial-strength magnetic tip will collect metal shavings from
your generator’s oil tank to help preserve the engine and extend your generator’s lifespan.
WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
This generator may emit highly flammable and
explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death, if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead
to explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline.
• Do not operate near open flame, heat, or any other ignition source. Do not smoke near the generator.
• Always operate on a firm, level surface.
• Always turn generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing
fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. Gasoline may expand during operation. Do not fill to the top of the tank. Allow for
expansion. Always check for spilled fuel before operating.
• If fuel spills, move the generator at least 30 feet away from the spill and wipe clean any spilled fuel before
starting the engine.
• Empty fuel tank before storing or transporting the generator.
STEP 2 - ADD / CHECK FUEL
ONLY
use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free
gasoline with a
minimum of 87 octane rating
. The genera-
tor performs best with ethanol-free gasoline.
DO NOT
use
gasoline with over 10% ethanol.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
1.06 gallons
. Do not mix oil
with gasoline.
Follow the instructions on the next page to add gasoline.
IMPORTANT:
• Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
• Keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames,
pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
• Gasoline can age in the tank and make starting
difficult. Never store the generator for more
than 2 months with fuel in the tank.
• Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
• Never use old gasoline.
