CAUTION:

Unplugging running devices can cause damage to the generator. Never stop the

engine with electrical devices connected and running.

OPTION 1: FUEL SHUT OFF (RECOMMENDED)

The WEN 2250W 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 stag-

nant 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 generator to run at no load for a few minutes to

stabilize internal temperatures.

3. Turn the engine switch to the "OFF" position (Fig. 12).

4. Close the vacuum relief valve on the top of the fuel cap

by rotating it counterclockwise to the "OFF" position.

5. The engine will continue to run until the majority of the

fuel in the carburetor is consumed. The engine will then

shut off automatically. This helps prevent the carburetor

from being clogged by stale fuel, extending your genera-

tor's lifespan.

OPTION 2: MANUAL SHUT OFF

In case you need to refuel or move your generator 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 mainte-

nance 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 de-

vices can cause damage to the generator.

2. Press the "MANUAL SHUT OFF" switch (Fig. 13 - 1) and hold it down in the "OFF" position for about

6 seconds until the engine shuts off.

WARNING:

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 "TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE".
