CONNECTING ELECTRICAL DEVICES
1. Before connecting electrical devices, allow the generator to run for a few minutes to stabilize the speed and volt-
age output. Turn the voltage selector switch to 120V or 240V, depending on the appliance(s) connected.
NOTE: You cannot use the 120V and 240V outlets at the same time.
2. Select the device with the highest wattage, and make sure it is turned off. Plug the device into the matching gen-
erator outlet and then turn the device on. Allow the engine to stabilize.
3. Repeat step 2 to plug in each additional device. Do not attempt to plug in or start multiple devices at the same
time.
WARNING! Turn OFF and disconnect all devices before switching voltages. Failure to do so could damage
the generator or devices.
ECO-MODE SWITCH
This generator is equipped with an Eco-Mode Idle Control Switch. Engaging this switch allows the system to regu-
late the engine speed and automatically adjust its fuel consumption to match the required load. When the electrical
load changes, the generator engine will automatically speed up and slow down as needed. This reduces fuel con-
sumption and noise levels, while extending runtime and engine's lifespan.
Keep this switch engaged ONLY when the power load requirement is less than 3750W (75% of the rated watts). Do
not engage the Eco-Mode Switch when the total load is more than 3750W. The generator engine must run at full
speed to supply power for anything over 3750W.
PARALLEL OPERATION
The parallel connection ports allow you to connect two WEN generators to increase the total available electrical
power. The WEN Parallel Connection Kit can be purchased from wenproducts.com. Follow the instructions included
with your parallel connection kit for proper installation and operation.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
The circuit breakers will activate when the load on the outlet exceeds the breaker's rating. When the circuit breaker
activates, turn off and disconnect the device from its respective outlet, and press the circuit breaker to reset.
IN CASE OF OVERLOAD
If your generator becomes overloaded from too much drawn wattage, the overload light (red) on the control panel
will light up. Follow the instructions below when an overload occurs:
• When you're close to overloading the generator, the overload light will start to flash. Reduce the load by turn-
ing off and disconnecting your electronic device(s) until the overload light turns off. Then you may continue to
operate your generator.
• When you've overloaded the generator, the overload light will stay on and the overload reset button will activate
to cut off the output in 3 to 16 seconds, depending on the load. Reduce the load by turning off and disconnecting
your electrical device(s) until the overload light turns off. Wait about five minutes and then press the activated
reset button to reset the circuit. If no power is produced after resetting, turn off and disconnect all electrical
devices and restart your generator.
• The pattern in which the overload light blinks gives diagnostic information about the problem. Refer to the chart
on the next page.
