GENERATOR PREPARATION
STEP 3 - CONNECT THE BATTERY (CONTINUED)
WARNING! Use only genuine WEN batteries with your generator (part no. 56380i-1304). Use of other bat-
teries may induce premature product failure and could pose a safety risk.

To connect the battery:
1. Using a coin or flat-head screwdriver (not included), turn the screw
(Fig. 10 - 1) on the battery access cover (Fig. 10 -2) and remove the
cover.
2. Pull downwards on the rubber belt (Fig. 11 - 1). With your other hand,
free the metal buckle from the hook beneath the battery.
3. Pull the battery outwards until the negative terminal (Fig. 12 - 1) is
accessible. Pull back the cover (Fig. 12 - 2) from the black cable (Fig.
12 - 3). Connect the black cable onto the battery’s negative terminal and
replace the cover.
NOTE: The generator’s positive terminal has already been connected.
Double check that the positive terminal’s connection is secure.
4. Slide the battery back into the generator. Pull downwards on the rub-
ber belt (Fig. 13 - 1). With your other hand, latch the metal buckle onto
the hook beneath the battery.
5. Reinstall the battery access cover (Fig. 14 - 1) using a coin or flat-
head screwdriver (not included) to turn the screw (Fig. 14 - 2).
IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use the generator for an extended pe-
riod of time, we recommend DISCONNECTING the negative battery cable
from the battery. This will protect the battery from losing its charge. Af-
ter disconnecting the negative cable, cover the free end of the cable with
an insulator such as electrical tape. Alternatively, you can use a trickle
charger (not included) to maintain battery charge. If you choose to do
so, make sure the trickle charger is suitable for lithium-ion batteries.
