4.4 Ozemljitev generatorja
For safety, the generator must be properly grounded. Connect a grounding wire (not included) from the grounding nut on the control panel to an appropriate ground source, such as a ground rod.
5. Navodila za uporabo
5.1 Preverjanja pred zagonom
- Preverite nivo motornega olja.
- Preverite nivo goriva.
- Ensure all electrical devices are unplugged from the generator.
- Verify the generator is on a level, stable surface, outdoors, and away from any structures.
5.2 Zagon motorja
- Obrnite ventil za gorivo v položaj 'ON'.
- Ročico dušilne lopute premaknite v položaj 'CHOKE' (če je motor hladen).
- Flip the engine switch to the 'ON' position.
- Pull the recoil starter handle firmly and steadily until the engine starts. Do not let the rope snap back.
- Ko se motor zažene, postopoma premaknite ročico dušilne lopute v položaj 'RUN'.
5.3 Priklop električnih bremen
The WEN GN4500 features a versatile control panel:
- Four standard 120V 20A household duplex outlets (5-20R)

6. Vzdrževanje
Redno vzdrževanje je bistvenega pomena za dolgo življenjsko dobo in zanesljivo delovanje vašega generatorja.
6.1 Urnik vzdrževanja
| Postavka | Pred vsako uporabo | Vsakih 25 ur / Mesečno | Vsakih 100 ur / Letno |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motorno olje | Preverite raven | spremeniti | |
| Zračni filter | Preverite | čisto | Zamenjaj |
| Vžigalna svečka | Preglejte/očistite | Zamenjaj | |
| Filter goriva | Preglejte/zamenjajte |
6.2 Menjava motornega olja
Change the engine oil after the first 5 hours of operation, then every 25 hours or monthly thereafter. Refer to the oil fill cap image in the Setup section for location.
6.3 Vzdrževanje zračnega filtra
Inspect the air filter regularly. Clean or replace it as needed, especially in dusty conditions. A dirty air filter can reduce engine performance and increase fuel consumption.

- Stikalo motorja: Preverite, ali je stikalo motorja v položaju 'VKLOP'.
- Vžigalna svečka: Preverite, ali je svečka umazana ali poškodovana. Po potrebi jo očistite ali zamenjajte.
7.2 Brez izhodne moči
- Odklopniki: Check if any circuit breakers on the control panel have tripped. Reset them if necessary.
- Preobremenitev: Zmanjšajte skupno obremenitev, priključeno na generator.
- Povezave: Prepričajte se, da so vsi napajalni kabli varno priključeni v vtičnice generatorja.
7.3 Engine Runs Rough
- Zastarelo gorivo: Izpraznite staro gorivo in napolnite s svežim bencinom.
- Umazan zračni filter: Očistite ali zamenjajte zračni filter.
- Vžigalna svečka: Inspect the spark plug for proper gap and condition.
