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 (3200 / 2900W) of the generator, DO NOT con-
nect 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 volt-
age 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, the overload indication light
(red) will activate. If it is flashing, turn off and unplug one load. If it is solid (not flashing), the generator will cut
off power to protect itself. Unplug all electrical devices and then press the reset button to reset the entire circuit,
or press the circuit breaker to reset the DC circuit. 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 per-
sists, please call 1-(800) 232-1195 M-F 8-5 CST, or email techsupport@wenproducts.com.
