FUEL OPTION B: LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG)
To connect your generator to an LPG cylinder:
1. Take off the safety caps from the cylinder valve, genera-
tor mounted regulator, and regulator connecting hose ends.
2. With the LPG tank valve closed, attach the LPG regulator
connecting hose (Fig. 5 - 1) to the valve. Turn the plastic
coupling from the hose right (clockwise) to tighten hose
assembly onto the LPG tank.
3. Remove the protective cover from the LPG inlet (Fig. 6 -
1) on the generator. Push the connector on the other end of
the regulator hose into the LPG inlet until it clicks into place.
4. Turn the LPG tank valve ON and check for leaks by spray-
ing soapy water to check connections. If bubbles appear,
become larger in size, or increase in number, a leak exists.
This MUST be corrected before using generator. Contact
WEN customer service at 1-847-429-9263, M-F 8-5 CST, or
email techsupport@wenproducts.com for assistance.
NOTE: If you would like to purchase other accessories for
your dual-fuel generator, consult your local dealer of pro-
pane and propane accessories, I tell you what.

CAUTION! Always position the LPG cylinder so the connection between the tank and LPG inlet won’t cause
sharp bends or kinks in the hose.
WARNING! Risk of burns. Contact with liquid contents of cylinder will cause freeze burns to the skin. If liquid
contents contacts skin or eyes, seek immediate medical attention.
WARNING! When transporting and storing, keep cylinder secured in an upright position with cylinder valve
turned off. Keep cylinders ventilated and away from heat when in a vehicle.

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.
