ECO-MODE SWITCH
This generator is equipped with an Eco-Mode Idle Control Switch. Engaging this switch allows the
system to regulate the engine speed and automatically adjust its fuel consumption to match the re
-
quired load. When the electrical load changes, the generator engine will automatically speed up and
slow down as needed. This reduces fuel consumption and noise levels, while extending runtime and
engine’s lifespan.
Keep this switch engaged ONLY when the power load requirement is LESS THAN 1350W (75% of the
rated watts). Do not engage the Eco-Mode Switch when the total load is more than 1350W. The genera
-
tor engine must run at full speed to supply power for anything over 1350W.
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.
IN CASE OF OVERLOAD
If your generator becomes overloaded from too much drawn wattage, the overload indicator (red) on
the control panel will light up, and the overload reset button on your control panel may activate and cut
off the output. When an overload occurs, reduce the load by turning off and unplugging your electronic
device(s), then press the reset button to reset your generator. If no power is produced after resetting,
restart your generator.
• 4% to 10% over rated watts: overload light will flash to indicate overload
• 10% to 18% over rated watts: overload light will stay on for 16 seconds, output will be cut off.
• More than 18% over rated watts: overload light will stay on for 3 seconds, output will be cut off.
