WARNING: Allow generator to cool down before touching areas that become hot during use.
OPTION 1: FUEL SHUT OFF (RECOMMENDED)
The WEN 2250W Inverter Generator is equipped with automatic fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the
flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before turning
off. This prolongs the lifespan of the generator by preventing build-up and blockages caused by stag-
nant fuel inside of a carburetor.
CAUTION: Unplugging running devices can cause damage to the generator. Never stop the
engine with electrical devices connected and running.
CAUTION: Allowing gasoline to sit in the fuel tank for long periods of time can make it difficult
to start the generator in the future. Never store the generator for extended periods of time (over 2
months) with fuel in the fuel tank. Refer to “TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE”.
1. Turn off all electrical devices prior to unplugging them
from the generator. Unplugging running devices can
cause damage to the generator.
2. Allow generator to run at no load for a few minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures.
3. Turn the engine switch to the “OFF” position (Fig. 12).
4. Close the vacuum relief valve on the top of the fuel cap
by rotating it counterclockwise to the “OFF” position.
5. The engine will continue to run until the majority of the
fuel in the carburetor is consumed. The engine will then
shut off automatically. This helps prevent the carburetor
from being clogged by stale fuel, extending your genera
-
tor’s lifespan.
OPTION 2: MANUAL SHUT OFF
In case you need to refuel or move your generator in a hurry, and do not want to wait for the generator
to automatically shut down, the manual shutoff feature is available. However, this method will leave
stagnant fuel in the carburetor, possibly causing blockages, a shortened lifespan, and other mainte
-
nance issues. If this approach is frequently taken, make sure to drain your carburetor before any long
storage periods.
1. Turn off all electrical devices prior to unplugging them from the generator. Unplugging running de
-
vices can cause damage to the generator.
2. Press the “MANUAL SHUT OFF” switch (Fig. 13 - 1) and hold it down in the “OFF” position for about
6 seconds until the engine shuts off.
