ABOUT THE BATTERY
1. The lithium-ion battery supplied with your generator is only partially charged, in order to maximize its service
life. The battery may not have enough charge to start the engine during its first use. If this is the case, connect the
battery according to the instructions below, and start the generator using the recoil starter, according to the instruc-
tions below. The battery will receive charge when the generator is running.
2. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The battery must be replaced at the latest when its
capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery are no longer capable of meet-
ing the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of your generator, and therefore pose a safety risk.
3. 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.
STEP 3 - CONNECT THE BATTERY
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.

FUEL OPTION B: LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) (CONT.)
4. Turn the LPG tank valve ON (Fig. 9) and check for leaks by spraying
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 1-800-232-
1195, M-F 8-5 CST, or email techsupport@wenproducts.com for as-
sistance.
NOTE: You can use Teflon (or other tape) to secure the connection of
the LPG hose to your generator.
NOTE: If you would like to purchase other accessories for your dual-
fuel generator, consult your local dealer of propane and propane ac-
cessories, I tell you what.
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.

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.
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 "Switching Fuels" section for more information.
