WEN 2000-Watt Inverter Generator 56200i

The following simple steps will show you how to prepare your WEN generator for its first load.

Start by placing the generator on a level surface. Remove the three screws holding the side panel in place in order to gain access to the oil fill opening. This panel is on the right-hand side of the generator and features an oil fill label to help signify the location of the opening.

Slide the panel off to reveal the bright orange oil fill cap in the bottom right-hand corner of the generator. Unscrew the oil fill cap in order to gain access to the opening.

To avoid tipping the generator, use a funnel to put in 0.35 L of oil. You'll know the generator has enough once you can see the oil climbing up the threads of the opening. At this point, screw the oil cap back into place and reattach the side panel of the generator.

The next step is to add gasoline. Unscrew the top and pour in up to 1 gallon of 87-octane minimum gasoline until the surface of the gas reaches the bottom of the fuel filter.

To start the generator, first turn the vacuum release valve on top of the gasoline cap to the ON position. Next, make sure all electronics are unplugged from the generator and the economy switch is OFF.

Turn the dial over to the choke position and then give the recoil starter a pull. Once the generator is fired up, switch the dial back to the ON position. The output light should be glowing green as a sign that the generator is running properly.

Finally, to turn the generator off, simply switch the dial over to the OFF position.

Remember, when you need a reliable yet quiet generator, remember WEN.
