WARNING! Battery contains sulfuric acid. Battery acid is poisonous. Tilting the generator with the battery installed can cause battery acid to spill.
· Wear protective clothing and eye wear when servicing the battery. · Keep out of the reach of children. · Do not tilt the generator with the battery installed. · If battery acid gets on your skin, wash with water immediately. · If battery acid gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and call a doctor immediately.
If battery acid is swallowed, call a doctor immediately. Drink a large amount of water or milk. Then drink the milk of magnesia or vegetable oil.
WARNING! Use only genuine WEN batteries with your generator (part no. GN5602X-064). Use of other batteries may induce premature product failure and could pose a safety risk.
To connect the battery: 1. Connect the two ends of the quick connector on the battery (Fig. 8 – 1) to connect the battery to the generator’s system. Make sure the battery is secured to the generator frame by the battery strap.
NOTE: The generator can be run with the battery disconnected or with no charge using the recoil starter. You may use either gasoline or LPG.
IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use the generator for an extended period of time, we recommend DISCONNECTING the quick-connector. This will protect the battery from losing its charge. After disconnecting the quick-connector, cover the ends of the cable with an insulator such as electrical tape. Alternatively, you can use a trickle charger (not included) to maintain battery charge. 18

ABOUT THE BATTERY
1. DO NOT INCINERATE BATTERY. Do not throw the battery into an open fire as this poses a risk of explosion. Do not ignite the battery or expose it to fire. 2. AVOID DAMAGE AND SHOCKS. Immediately replace batteries that have been dropped from a height of more than one meter (3 feet) or those that have been exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of the battery appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal. 3. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP OR DAMAGE BATTERY. Do not use the battery if it has sustained a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or has been damaged in any way (e.g. pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on, etc.). 4 DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly may pose a serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to toxic battery chemicals. If battery or charger are damaged, call WEN customer service at 1-847-429-9263 for assistance. 5. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. Batteries will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive and negative contacts on the battery.

GENERATOR PREPARATION

STEP 4 – GROUND THE GENERATOR
To reduce the risk of electric shock and to maximize safety, the generator should be properly grounded.
Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut (Fig. 9 – 1) on the front control panel against a grounding wire. A generally acceptable 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.
NOTE: Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local electrician to check the area codes.

Fig. 9 1

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

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION ABOVE 3000 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 3000 feet above sea level. At elevations above 8000 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.
You can order the kit at wenproducts.com by searching part DF5600X-HA. There are two kits – one for altitudes between 3000 and 6000 feet (part no. DF5600X- HA36), and the other for altitudes from 6000 to 8000 feet (part no. DF5600X- HA68). This kit should be installed by a qualified mechanic. Refer to the instructions included with your altitude kit for more information about installation.
NOTE: The high altitude kit must be installed for operation above 3000 feet.

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: 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 operating at altitudes below 3000 feet.
After completing the above preparation, the generator is ready to be started.

STARTING YOUR GENERATOR

Before starting the generator, make sure you have read and performed the steps in the “Generator Preparation” section of this manual. If you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps in this manual please call 1-847429-9263 M-F 8-5 CST for customer service.
DANGER! CARBON MONOXIDE Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO. NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl spaces, or other partially enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust. Even if you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or batterybackup CO alarm in the home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING! The exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
WARNING! Do not operate generator near open flame or flammable materials 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 it isn’t directly in contact with gasoline. Do not smoke near the generator.
WARNING! This generator produces powerful voltage, which can result in electrocution. WARNING! Do not use in rainy or wet conditions. Do not touch bare wires or receptacles (outlets). Do not allow children or non-qualified persons to operate. WARNING! Generator should only be connected to electrical devices, either directly or with an extension cord. NEVER connect to a building electrical system without a qualified electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a separately derived system. Such connections must comply with local electrical laws and codes. Failure to comply can create a back- feed, which may result in serious injury or death to utility workers.
To maximize safety, ALWAYS ground the generator before using it. See section “Ground the Generator”.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in highly conductive areas such as metal decking or steel work. GFCIs are available in-line with some extension cords.
CAUTION! Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator before attempting to start.
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
1. Verify that the generator is outside on a dry, level surface with at least two feet of clearance on all sides. 2. To maximize safety, check that the generator is properly grounded (see “GROUND THE GENERATOR”). 3. Check that there is a sufficient level of oil in the crankcase. Add oil if necessary (see “ADD / CHECK OIL”). 4. Make sure that there is enough gasoline in the fuel tank (or LPG in the LPG cylinder). Add fuel if necessary (see “ADD / CHECK FUEL”). 5. Make sure that the battery is connected (see “CONNECTING THE BATTERY”). 6. Make sure all electrical devices are unplugged from the generator during ignition otherwise it will be difficult for the engine to start. 20

Table 2 – Estimated Wattages of Common Electrical Appliances

NOTE: Become familiar with the functions and capacity of each component on the control panel before connecting electrical devices. See page 11 for more information about the components of the control panel. Do not overload generator or individual panel receptacles. Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to the generator.

23

USING YOUR GENERATOR

CONNECTING ELECTRICAL DEVICES
When the rated wattage requirement of each electrical device has been determined, add these numbers to find the total rated wattage needed. If this number exceeds the rated wattage (4500W) of the generator, DO NOT connect all these devices. Select a combination of electrical devices with a total rated wattage lower than or equal to the rated wattage of the generator.

CAUTION! Become familiar with the markings on the control panel before connecting electrical devices. Do not connect 3-phase or 50Hz loads to the generator.

1. Before connecting electrical devices, allow the generator to run for a few minutes to stabilize the speed and voltage output.

2. Make sure that all devices are turned off. Start plugging in each electric device, from the highest wattage to the lowest. Check the power indicator light (green) to ensure the generator is producing power.

3. Do not overload the generator or individual panel receptacles. If an overload occurs, one or more circuit breakers will trip. Unplug all electrical devices, then press the circuit breaker to reset it. If it will not reset, wait a few minutes for it to cool down. Check the total wattage of the devices and reduce the load if it exceeds the capacity of the generator. Then, plug the loads back in one by one.

NOTE: If the reset button or circuit breaker does not reset, wait several minutes and try again. If problem still persists, please call 1-847-429-9263 M-F 8-5 CST, or email techsupport@wenproducts.com.

SWITCHING FUELS
To maximize your generator’s lifespan, we recommend removing all loads from the generator before switching between gasoline and LPG. If this is not possible, reduce loads as much as possible in order to ensure a smooth switch. Your generator is rated to handle a higher load when running on gasoline than on LPG, so keep this in mind when planning your fuel usage. To switch fuels:

Fig. 13

1. Make sure you have enough gasoline or propane. If switching to propane, make sure the propane regulator and hose are securely attached to the propane cylinder and the propane inlet on the generator, and that the propane cylinder valve is turned ON.

2. Turn the fuel selector switch (Fig. 13) to the desired fuel source.

USING YOUR GENERATOR

CO SENSOR INFORMATION
The CO Watchdog carbon monoxide monitoring system (Fig. 15 – 1) measures the accumulation of poisonous CO gas while the generator is running. If the level of CO gas gets too high, the CO Watchdog system will automatically shut down the generator. This system is not a substitute for an indoor CO alarm.

Fig. 15 1

Whenever the CO Watchdog system shuts down the generator, the LED on the generator control panel (Fig. 15 – 1) will blink red for at least 5 minutes after the generator is shut down. If you notice that the LED is blinking red, vacate the area immediately. Go to an open, outdoor area. Ventilate the area around the generator thoroughly before returning. Let the generator stay shut down for a few minutes before restarting the engine. This should allow carbon monoxide to dissipate from the area. If you restart the generator and the CO Watchdog detects that CO levels are still too high, it will shut down the generator again. If CO levels are low enough, the generator will run normally.

NOTE: if the generator is oriented so that the engine exhaust is blown towards the CO sensor, the generator may shut down.

Ensure that the generator is located in an open outdoor area, with the exhaust pointing away from occupied structures, and pointing away from the prevailing winds, such that those winds do not blow engine exhaust towards the sensor module. If anyone experiences dizziness, headaches, nausea, fatigue, or other symptoms of CO poisoning, get to fresh air immediately and seek the attention of a qualified medical professional. Follow all other directions in this manual regarding the connection and disconnection of electrical devices when starting or shutting down the generator.

When starting the generator, the CO Watchdog LED on the panel may flash. This indicates that the system is running a self-test procedure, and does not indicate a problem.

If the CO Watchdog LED on the panel is yellow, a system error has occurred, or the CO sensor has reached the end of its life. Contact WEN customer service (1-847-429-9263, M ­ F 8 ­ 5 CST, or techsupport@wenproducts.com) for assistance.

When operating your generator, please note the following:

· The CO Watchdog does not discriminate in its input; any source of carbon monoxide in the area around the generator could cause it to activate. If the CO Watchdog LED is blinking red, safety measures should be taken immediately.

· Tampering with, disconnecting, or bypassing the CO sensor could cause hazardous conditions, including but not necessarily limited to injury or death, and will void your warranty. The generator will not run with the CO sensor disconnected or bypassed, or if the CO sensor indicates an error.

· The CO sensor has a lifetime of about 7 years, and is capable of monitoring its lifetime. If your generator shows an error light several years after purchase, it may be time to replace the CO sensor. Contact WEN customer service for assistance.

26

SHUTTING OFF YOUR GENERATOR

CAUTION! Unplugging running devices can cause damage to the generator. Never stop the engine with electrical devices connected and running.

OPTION 1: AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF (GASOLINE ONLY)
Your generator is equipped with automatic fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before turning off. This prolongs the lifespan of the generator by preventing build-up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside of a carburetor.

1. Turn off all electrical devices prior to unplugging them from the generator. Unplugging running devices can cause damage to the generator.
2. Allow the generator to run at no load for a few minutes to stabilize the internal temperatures.

Fig. 16 1

3. Turn the fuel valve (Fig. 16 – 1) to the OFF position.

4. The engine will continue to run until the majority of the fuel in the carburetor is consumed, which takes a few minutes. It will then shut off automatically. This feature helps to prevent the carburetor from being clogged by stale fuel, extending your generator’s lifespan.

Fig. 17

6. Push the engine switch (Fig. 17) to the OFF position.

OPTION 2: MANUAL SHUTOFF
In case you are in a hurry and do not want to wait for the generator to automatically shut down, the manual shutoff feature is available. However, this method will leave stagnant fuel in the carburetor, possibly causing blockages, a shortened lifespan, and other maintenance issues. If this approach is frequently taken, make sure to drain your carburetor before any long storage periods.

1. Turn off all electrical devices prior to unplugging them from the generator. Unplugging running devices can cause damage to the generator.
2. Push the engine switch to the OFF position.
OPTION 3: LPG SHUTOFF
1. Turn off all electrical devices prior to unplugging them from the generator. Unplugging running devices can cause damage to the generator. Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
2. Let the engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and generator.
3. Make sure the fuel valve is OFF and then turn the engine switch to the OFF position.

IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine switch are in the OFF position when the generator is not in use.

WARNING! Allow the generator to cool down before touching areas that become hot during use.

CAUTION: Allowing gasoline to sit in the fuel tank for long periods of time can make it difficult to start the generator in the future. Never store the generator for extended periods of time (over 2 months) with fuel in the fuel tank. Refer to “Storing the Generator.”
27

MAINTENANCE

Proper routine maintenance of the generator will help prolong the life of the machine. Please perform maintenance checks and operations according to the schedule in Table 4.

CHECKING / ADDING OIL
Check the oil level before each use and every 8 hours of operation (refer to Table 4). The oil capacity of the generator engine is 20.3 fl. oz. (0.60 L). Add oil when the oil level is low. For proper type and weight of oil refer to “add oil” portion of the “Generator Preparation” section. This is a critical step for proper engine starting. The generator is equipped with a with low-oil shut down to protect it from running without oil.

To check the oil level and add oil: 1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface. Do not tilt the generator, as oil will flow into engine areas and cause damage. Keep generator level!

2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag.
3. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill opening without screwing in. Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark (Fig. 18). Add oil if the oil mark covers less than one half of the dipstick.

Fig. 18

4. Using a funnel or appropriate dispenser, slowly add more oil. Repeat the step above until the oil mark reaches the top of the dipstick. Do not over fill.

MAINTENANCE

DRAINING THE CARBURETOR
We recommend draining the carburetor after every use and before storing the generator. Draining the carburetor can prevent the fuel from clogging up the carburetor; a clogged carburetor can prevent the generator from starting.

1. With the help of another person, place the generator on an elevated platform such as a table or desk.

Fig. 19

2. Make sure that the engine switch is pressed to OFF and the fuel valve is in the OFF position. This will allow only the fuel left inside the carburetor to be drained out.

3. The carburetor (Fig. 19 – 1) can be ac-

cessed on the left of the generator, right be-

hind the air filter.

MAINTENANCE

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
Check every 50 hours of operation (refer to Table 4 – Recommended Maintenance Schedule). Routine maintenance of the air filter helps maintain proper airflow to the carburetor. Occasionally check that the air cleaner is free of excessive dirt.

To inspect and clean the air filter: 1. Remove the air filter cover (Fig. 20 –

1. by unscrewing the cover lock knob (Fig. 20 – 2) at the bottom of the air filter cover.
   2. Remove the foam, sponge-like air filter element from the 1 casing. Wipe excessive oil and any dirt from inside of the air filter casing.

Fig. 20

3. Check the foam, sponge-like air filter element. a) Good elements can be washed in soapy water. Dry the 2 element in clean cloth (do not twist it). Add a few drops of engine oil to the air filter element and spread it evenly. A small amount of oil left in the element is normal and necessary for the engine to work properly.

b) Damaged elements should be replaced with a new one. Replacement air filters can be purchased from wenproducts.com by searching part number DF5600X-137.

4. Reinstall the air filter element and air filter cover.

WARNING! Running the engine with a dirty, damaged or missing air filter element can result in danger to the operator and cause the engine to wear out prematurely.

SPARK ARRESTOR MAINTENANCE
Inspect and clean the spark arrestor every 100 hours of operation. The spark arrester is located outside the muffler, which gets very hot during operation. Allow the engine to cool completely before servicing the spark arrester. To inspect and clean the spark arrester:

1. Remove the two Phillips-head screws that secure the spark arrestor to the muffler (Fig. 21 – 1).

Fig. 21

2. Remove the spark arrestor screen.

3. Carefully clean and remove the carbon deposits from the

spark arrestor screen with a wire brush. Replace the spark

arrestor if it is damaged (replacement spark arrestors can be

purchased from wenproducts.com by searching the part no.

1

GN5600-089).

4. Reinstall the spark arrestor in the muffler and secure it in place with the screws.

MAINTENANCE

SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
Refer to Recommended Maintenance Schedule in Table 4 for maintaining the spark plug. The spark plug is important for proper engine operation. Check the spark plug regularly to maintain proper engine operation. A good spark plug should be intact, free of deposits, and properly gapped.

To inspect or replace the spark plug: 1. Gently pull on the spark plug boot (Fig. 22 – 1) to remove it. 1 Be careful not to tear any insulation or wire.

Fig. 22

2. Use the included spark plug socket (Fig. 23) to unscrew and then carefully remove the spark plug from the engine.

TIP: There is limited space for the wrench to turn. Use both rows of holes in the spark plug wrench to gain leverage to loosen the plug.

3. Visually inspect the spark plug. If it is cracked or chipped, or if the electrodes are worn or burned, discard it and replace with a new spark plug.
We recommend replacing with a Torch F7RTJC (NGK BP6ET) spark plug (part no. DF5600X-121), available for purchase at wenproducts.com.

Fig. 23

4. If re-using the spark plug, use a wire brush to clean any dirt from around the spark plug base, then re-gap the spark plug.

5. Measure the plug gap with a spark plug gap gauge. The gap should be 0.028 in. – 0.031 in. (0.7mm – 0.8mm) (Fig. 24). Carefully adjust the gap if necessary.

Spark Plug Socket

6. Screw the spark plug back into the spark plug hole using the spark plug wrench. Do not over-tighten spark plug. Recommended tightening of spark plug is 20 – 22 ft-lbs (27 – 30 Nm).

0.7 mm – 0.8 mm

MAINTENANCE

DRAINING / CHANGING OIL
Change the oil according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule in Table 4. Change the oil MORE OFTEN if operating under heavy load or high ambient temperatures. It is also necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with water or dirt. Changing the oil when the engine is warm allows for more-complete drainage.

To change engine oil: 1. With the help of another person, place the generator on an elevated platform such as table or workbench.

Fig. 25

NOTE: To avoid possible gasoline spills from the carburetor bowl, drain the carburetor before draining oil.

2. Prepare an approved oil-storage container and place it below the oil drainage bolt (Fig. 25 – 1) to catch oil as it drains.

4. Use a 10mm socket to loosen and remove the oil drainage bolt, and allow oil to drain from the engine completely.

5. Replace and tighten the oil drainage bolt after the oil has drained.
NOTE: Never dispose of used engine oil in the trash or down 1 a drain. Please call a local recycling center or auto garage to arrange proper oil disposal.

6. Unscrew the oil dipstick. Using a funnel or appropriate dispenser, add 20.3 fl. oz. (0.60 L) of clean engine oil into the oil fill. Check the oil level periodically using the dipstick. Do not over fill.

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 compartment to help preserve the engine and extend your generator’s lifespan.

33

MAINTENANCE

DRAINING THE FUEL TANK
Drain and clean the fuel tank each year, or before storing the generator for longer than two months.

To drain the fuel tank and carburetor: 1. Locate the carburetor (Fig. 26 – 1). It can be accessed on the back of the generator, right beside the air filter.

2. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage container and a funnel.

3. Remove the fuel cap (Fig. 27 – 1) and turn the fuel valve (Fig. 28 – 1) ON.

4. Open up the carburetor drain screw (Fig. 26 – 2) with a

Phillips screwdriver. Fuel will start draining from the carbu-

1

retor and fuel tank through the funnel.

NOTE: The draining process may take a few hours, depend-

2

ing on the amount of fuel in your gas tank.

5. Once fuel is completely drained from the tank, reinstall the fuel cap and turn the fuel valve (Fig. 28 – 1) OFF. Tighten the drain screw with the screwdriver.

6. Start and run the generator until the fuel runs out.

7. Store the emptied gasoline in a suitable place. DO NOT store flammable materials near the gasoline.

CAUTION: Store the emptied gasoline in a suitable place.

1

Never store fuel for more than 2 months.

MAINTENANCE
BATTERY MAINTENANCE/STORAGE
The battery will receive charge when the engine is running. Remember to run the generator once a month for 20-30 minutes to charge the battery. A charged battery will allow you to start the generator using the electric start switch during your next time of need. If the battery is out of charge, you may start the generator using the recoil starter. If the generator is not used for a long period, it is recommended to disconnect the quick-connector from the battery to protect it from losing charge. TIP: You can also connect the battery to an automatic trickle charger to keep the battery charged. If using a tricklecharger, charge the battery at room temperature. To reinstall/replace the battery: 1. Unhook the battery strap from the engine frame. Remove the battery and disconnect the quick-connector. 2. Replace with an identical new battery (part no. GN5602X-064). 3. Connect the new battery by connecting the two ends of the quick connector together. 4. Secure the battery to the generator frame using the battery strap. NOTE: Always recycle used batteries in accordance with local laws and regulations. Contact your local solid waste collection site or recycling facility to obtain information on local recycling processes.
35

TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE

TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting, be sure to perform the following:

1. Tighten the fuel cap. 2. Push the engine switch to OFF. 3. Drain the fuel tank if possible. Refer to section “DRAINING THE FUEL TANK.” 4. Keep the generator upright. Never place the generator on its side or upside down – doing so could damage the internal components of the generator and make it difficult to start.
   WARNING! Avoid direct sunlight inside a vehicle. If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle for many hours, the high temperature could cause the fuel to vaporize and result in a possible explosion.
   STORING THE GENERATOR
   Shut off the generator and allow the unit to cool to room temperature before storing it. NEVER place any type of storage cover on the generator while it is still hot. Do not obstruct any ventilation openings.
   Follow the procedures below for properly storing your generator. We highly recommend running your generator once a month for 20 to 30 minutes. Plug in a small load in to ensure there is proper power output.

For Short Periods (30 to 60 Days): · Drain the carburetor. · Disconnect the quick-connector from the battery. · Add fuel stabilizer: Follow the suggested portions and instructions of your preferred stabilizer. Run the engine for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the fuel stabilizer to mix with the gasoline and circulate through the carburetor, and then top off with fuel. Filling the fuel tank full reduces the amount of air in the tank and helps fight deterioration of fuel.

For Extended Periods (Over 60 Days): · Disconnect the quick-connector from the battery.
· Drain the fuel tank and carburetor (see “DRAINING THE FUEL TANK”). Never store generator with fuel in the tank for more than two months.
· Change the engine oil (see “CHANGING OIL”).

WARNING! Store the generator upright in a cool and dry location, away from sources of heat, open flames, sparks or pilot lights.
