Shutting Off The Generator - Wen 56380i Manual

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 (RECOMMENDED)
The WEN 3800W Inverter 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 devic-
es can cause damage to the generator.
2. Allow generator to run at no load for a few minutes
to stabilize internal temperatures.
3. Turn the engine switch to the "AUTO OFF" position
(Fig. 20).
4. The engine will continue to run until the majority
of the fuel in the carburetor is consumed. It will then
shut off automatically. This feature helps to prevent
the carburetor from being clogged by stale fuel, ex-
tending your generator's lifespan.
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. Press the "MANUAL SHUTOFF" switch and hold it down in the "OFF" position for about 6 seconds until the
engine shuts off.
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."
