PREPARATION
TO ADD GASOLINE:
Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free gaso-
line with a minimum of 87 octane rating. The generator per-
forms best with ethanol-free gasoline. DO NOT use gasoline
with over 10% ethanol. The capacity of the fuel tank is 1.06
gallon. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
1. Place the generator on a level surface. Make sure the en-
gine is OFF before adding or checking the fuel.
2. Unscrew the fuel cap (Fig. 4 - 1) and set it aside. The fuel
cap may be tight and hard to unscrew.
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful
not to overfill. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled
gasoline with a dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not fill the fuel tank to the very top. If you do so,
gasoline will expand and spill during use, even with the fuel
cap in place.
4. Reinstall fuel cap and wipe clean any spilled gasoline
with a dry cloth.
STEP 3 - GROUND THE GENERATOR
To reduce the risk of electric shock and to maximize safety,
the generator should be properly grounded.
1. Attach one end of the grounding wire to the grounding
nut (Fig. 5 - 1). Tighten the nut to secure the grounding
wire.
2. Connect the other end of the grounding wire to a copper,
brass, or steel-grounding rod that is driven into the earth.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION ABOVE 2000 FEET
The fuel system on this generator may be affected by opera-
tion 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. Operating this generator without said kit
may increase the engine’s emissions and decrease both fuel
economy and performance.
This kit should be installed by a qualified mechanic. You can
order the kit at wenproducts.com by searching part number
56235i-HA36B or 56235i-HA69B. Refer to the instructions
included with your altitude kit for more information about
installation.
WARNING! Failure to properly ground the
generator increases your risk of electric shock.
WARNING! To prevent serious injury from
fire, follow the kit installation procedures in a
well-ventilated 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! UNINSTALL the high altitude kit
when operating at altitudes below 2000 feet.
NOTE: Grounding wire and grounding rods
are not included with the generator. A general-
ly acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG
(American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire .
Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a
local electrician to check the area codes.
