STEP 4 - CONNECT THE BATTERY (CONT.)
To connect the battery:
1. Open the side panel (to the right of the control panel)
by twisting the panel lock knobs (Fig. 8 - 1) a quarter
turn.
2. Remove the rubber quick-connector covers.
3. Connect the two ends of the quick-connector on the
battery to the ends of the quick-connector on the starter
motor (Fig. 8 - 2).
IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use the generator
for an extended period of time, we recommend DIS-
CONNECTING the quick connector. This will protect the
battery from losing its charge. Cover the ends with the
rubber covers, or an insulator such as electrical tape. Al-
ternatively, you can use a trickle charger (not included)
to maintain battery charge.
If the battery is dead or disconnected, the generator can only be started using the recoil starter; you may use gaso-
line or LPG. The battery receives charge when the generator is running. To help maximize your battery’s lifespan,
and ensure it’s ready when needed, run your generator once a month, disconnect the quick connectors as outlined
above, or connect the battery to a trickle charger.
ABOUT THE BATTERY
1. DO NOT INCINERATE BATTERY. Do not throw the battery into an open fire as this poses a risk of explosion. Do
not ignite the battery or expose it to fire.
2. AVOID DAMAGE AND SHOCKS. Immediately replace batteries that have been dropped from a height of more than
one meter (3 feet) or those that have been exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of the battery appears to
be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In such instances, please
read the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
3. DO NOT CRUSH, DROP OR DAMAGE BATTERY. Do not use the battery if it has sustained a sharp blow, been
dropped, run over or has been damaged in any way (e.g. pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on, etc.).
4 DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly may pose a serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to toxic
battery chemicals. If battery or charger are damaged, call WEN customer service at 1-847-429-9263 for assistance.
5. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. Batteries will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive
and negative contacts on the battery. Do not place the battery near anything that may cause a short circuit, such as
paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other metallic objects. A short-circuited battery poses a risk of fire and
severe personal injury. NOTE: The safe temperature range for charging the battery is 25°F – 104°F.
