Step 2- Add Gasoline; Step 3- Ground The Generator - WEN POWER Power Pro 3500 Owner's Manual

Step 2- Add Gasoline
WARNING: Gasoline and gas fumes are highly flammable.
• Do not fill tank near an open flame.
• Do not overfill. Always check for fuel spills.
To ensure that the generator runs smoothly use only FRESH, U2qLEADED GAS WITH
AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER. To add gasoline:
1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew gas cap and set aside (NOTE: the gas cap may be tight and hard to
unscrew).
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. Please
refer to the chart in figure 4 to find the gas capacity of your generator model. The
fuel gauge on the top of the generator indicates how much gasoline is in the
generator gas tank. NOTE: Gas can expand. Do not fill the gas tank to the very
top.
4. Replace fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT:
• Never use an oil/gasoline mixture.
• Neveruse old gas.
• Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
• Gas can age in the tank and make it hard to start up the generator in the future.
Never store generator for extended periods of time with fuel in the tank.

Step 3- Ground the Generator
A WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in
electrocution.
Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut against a grounding wire (see
figure 5). 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 or brass grounding rod that is driven into the earth.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Please contact a local electrician to check the
grounding regulations for your area.
