After completing the above preparation, the generator is ready to be started.

STEP 3 - GROUND THE GENERATOR

To reduce the risk of electric shock and to maximize safety, the

generator should be properly grounded.

Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut (Fig. 7

- 1) on the front control panel against a grounding wire. A gen

erally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American

Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire.

This grounding wire should be connected at the other end to

a copper, brass, or steel-grounding rod that is driven into the

earth. Wire and grounding rods are not included with the gen

erator.

NOTE: Grounding codes can vary by location. Contact a local

electrician to check the area codes.

WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator increases your risk of electric shock.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION ABOVE 3000 FEET

The fuel system on this generator may be affected by operation at high altitudes. Proper operation

can be ensured by installing an altitude kit at altitudes higher than 3000 feet above sea level. At eleva-

tions above 8000 feet, the engine may experience a decrease in performance, even with the proper al-

titude 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 56200i-HA36 for 3000 to 6000 feet above sea level or 56200i-HA68 for 6000 to 8000

feet above sea level. Refer to the instructions included with your altitude kit for more information

about installation.

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: Engines with the high-altitude kit installed operated at lower altitudes could cause

severe engine damage and affect emissions compliance. Be sure to UNINSTALL the high altitude

kit when operating at altitudes below 3000 feet.
