PREPARATION
WARNING! Failure to properly ground the
generator increases your risk of electric shock.
WARNING! To prevent serious injury from
fire, follow the kit installation procedures in a
well-ventilated area away from ignition sources.
If the engine is hot from use, shut the engine off
and wait for it to cool before proceeding. Do not
smoke near the generator. Warranty will be void
if adjustments are not made for high altitude use.
CAUTION! UNINSTALL the high altitude kit when
operating at altitudes below 2000 feet.
NOTE: Grounding wire and grounding rods
are not included with the generator. A general-
ly acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG
(American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a
local electrician to check the area codes.

STEP 3 - GROUND THE GENERATOR
To reduce the risk of electric shock and to maximize safety,
the generator should be properly grounded.
1. Attach one end of the grounding wire to the grounding
nut (Fig. 7 - 1). Tighten the nut to secure the grounding
wire.
2. Connect the other end of the grounding wire to a copper,
brass, or steel-grounding rod that is driven into the earth.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION ABOVE 2000 FEET
The fuel system on this generator may be affected by opera-
tion at high altitudes. Proper operation can be ensured by
installing an altitude kit at altitudes higher than 3000 feet
above sea level. At elevations above 9800 feet, the engine
may experience a decrease in performance, even with the
proper altitude kit. Operating this generator without said kit
may increase the engine’s emissions and decrease both fuel
economy and performance.
This kit should be installed by a qualified mechanic. You can
order the kit at wenproducts.com by searching part number
DF360iX-HA39. Refer to the instructions included with your
altitude kit for more information about installation.
AUTO FUEL SELECTION
Your generator is equipped with Auto Fuel Selection Technology. What this means is that the generator will auto-
matically select the fuel source (LPG or gasoline) depending on availability. LPG is prioritized; this means that if a
propane tank with enough LPG is connected, the generator will automatically use LPG. If no propane tank is con-
nected, the generator will use gasoline (if there is gasoline in the fuel tank). The LPG regulator hose must be discon-
nected for the generator to switch to gasoline. If the LPG regulator hose is connected and you run out of LPG, the
generator will not automatically switch to gasoline.
NOTE: Make sure the generator can handle the load(s) you plan to connect. The generator can provide more power
when running on gasoline than on LPG. Consult the specifications table on p. 3, as well as the “Calculating the Watt-
age of Your Device(s)” chart to ensure that your load(s) will not exceed the rated wattage for a particular fuel. See
also the “Switching Fuels” section for more information.
