AVISO: Perigo de Monóxido de Carbono

Generators produce carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Operating a generator indoors or in partially enclosed spaces can cause serious injury or death. ALWAYS operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area, far away from windows, doors, and vents.

Your WEN DF8000X generator is equipped with a CO Watchdog Shutdown Sensor. This sensor is designed to automatically shut down the generator if dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected. While this feature enhances safety, it is not a substitute for proper ventilation and safe operating practices. Always use a battery-operated CO alarm in your home or RV when operating a generator nearby.

Precauções Gerais de Segurança:

• Leia todo o manual antes da operação.
• Mantenha crianças e animais de estimação longe do gerador.
• Não utilize o gerador em condições de chuva ou umidade.
• Garanta o aterramento adequado do gerador.
• Never refuel a hot or running engine. Allow the generator to cool before adding fuel.
• Armazene o combustível em recipientes aprovados, em local bem ventilado e longe de fontes de ignição.
• Não sobrecarregue o gerador.
• Utilize equipamento de proteção individual (EPI) adequado ao operar ou realizar manutenção no gerador.

Configurar

Before first use, perform the following steps:

1. Desembalagem e montagem:
   • Remove the generator and all components from the packaging.
   • Attach the wheels and support legs using the provided hardware.
   • Install the handle kit.
2. Adicione óleo do motor:
   • Localize a tampa/vareta de medição do nível de óleo.
   • Add the recommended amount and type of engine oil (typically 10W-30, refer to the oil capacity in specifications). Do not overfill.
   • The generator ships without oil. Ensure oil is added before starting.
3. Conecte a bateria:
   • Connect the positive (+) battery cable (red) to the positive terminal on the battery.
   • Connect the negative (-) battery cable (black) to the negative terminal on the battery.
   • Certifique-se de que as conexões estejam seguras.
4. Abastecimento:
   • Gasolina: Ensure the generator is off and cool. Fill the gasoline tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline (minimum 87 octane). Do not overfill.
   • propano: Connect a standard propane tank (not included) to the generator's propane inlet using a suitable hose and regulator (often included). Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

Operando o Gerador

Follow these steps to safely start and operate your generator:

1. Lista de verificação pré-início:
   • Ensure the generator is on a level surface, outdoors, and away from any structures.
   • Verifique o nível de óleo do motor.
   • Ensure sufficient fuel (gasoline or propane).
   • Make sure all circuit breakers on the control panel are in the "OFF" position.
   • Desligue todos os equipamentos elétricos das tomadas do gerador.
2. Starting on Gasoline (Electric Start):
   • Gire a válvula de combustível para a posição "LIGADO".
   • Set the fuel selector switch on the control panel to "GAS".
   • Se o motor estiver frio, mova a alavanca do afogador para a posição "AFOGADOR".
   • Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the "START" position. Release once the engine starts.
   • Once the engine runs smoothly, gradually move the choke lever to the "RUN" position.
3. Starting on Propane (Electric Start):
   • Ensure the propane tank is connected and the valve on the tank is open.
   • Set the fuel selector switch on the control panel to "LPG".
   • Se o motor estiver frio, mova a alavanca do afogador para a posição "AFOGADOR".
   • Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the "START" position. Release once the engine starts.
   • Once the engine runs smoothly, gradually move the choke lever to the "RUN" position.
4. Conectando cargas elétricas:
   • Deixe o gerador funcionar por alguns minutos para se estabilizar.
   • Flip the circuit breakers on the control panel to the "ON" position.
   • Plug in your appliances or extension cords. Do not exceed the generator's rated wattage.
5. Parando o Gerador:
   • Disconnect all electrical loads from the outlets.
   • Turn the circuit breakers to the "OFF" position.
   • If running on gasoline, turn the fuel valve to the "OFF" position and allow the engine to run until it runs out of fuel (this helps prevent carburetor issues).
   • Se estiver a funcionar com propano, feche a válvula do depósito de propano.
   • Turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position.

Manutenção

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your generator. Always ensure the generator is off and cool before performing any maintenance.

• Troca de óleo do motor:
  • Change the engine oil after the first 20-25 hours of operation, then every 50 hours or annually, whichever comes first. For heavy use, more frequent changes (e.g., every 24 hours) are recommended.
  • Drain old oil when the engine is warm. Refill with the recommended oil type and amount.
• Filtro de ar:
  • Inspecione o filtro de ar a cada 50 horas ou a cada 3 meses.
  • Clean or replace the air filter element if it is dirty or damaged.
• Vela de ignição:
  • Inspecione a vela de ignição a cada 100 horas ou a cada 6 meses.
  • Clean or replace the spark plug as needed. Ensure proper gap setting.
• Sistema de combustível:
  • Verifique regularmente as linhas de combustível e as conexões para detectar vazamentos ou danos.
  • If storing the generator for an extended period, drain the gasoline or use a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation.
