User questions & answers

Question:	How long can i keep the generator running continuously? (westinghouse wgen
Answer:	The generator will run for about 3.6 hours at full 1600 watt load, the 12V output max output is 100 watts. Probably over 24 hours. I don't think the load on the 12V plug would not make much difference from just letting it idle with not load. 100watts is about 1/8HP and it has a 2HP engine.
Question:	Why oh why can't this be shipped to alaska? we're the ones that need generators
Answer:	I personally would use Shell Rotella. I burned up a couple of Built-rite 4 stroke weed eater motors on Mobil 1 within a year. I am now on year 5 on the 3rd one I bought with Rotellla oil. Run it in my 4 stroke motorized bicycle too. Still runs like new with 15,000 miles on it. I think some those synthetics have high heat problems when these air cooled motors are shrouded. Rotella had better specs, that's why I switched.
Question:	Is the 50 amp 120/240V 14–50r transfer switch capable or can you only use the 30r? It says 50 amp transfer switch ready on the brochure
Answer:	I have the 1700/2000 watt Wen 56203i inverter generator and it runs my 5000 Btu window AC at my cabin just fine MOST of the time. The AC pulls 500-600 watts when running, but startup is quite a bit higher. When I'm running your standard Walmart box fan, 32inch LCD TV, a laptop charger and a few led lights at the same time, I've had the generator overload a few times when the AC has cycled off and then starts back up. That tells me that I'm right at it's surge capacity with the other devices running. In 200+ generator hours of running the AC last summer and early fall, this happened 4-5 times. It just required shutting off the ac and fan, and pushing the reset on the gen, then turning them on one at a time. It seems like most of these comments are based on: A) starting watts from a generator sizing worksheet (where the answer is "no"), or B) from a calculation using only "running watts" and ignoring startup, where the answer is "yes". I'd lean towards an answer from someone who's tried it with the setup you want. As I mentioned, my 1700 running/2000surge inverter works for my 5000btu fine MOST of the time. It's a new AC and moderately efficient, but imagine older ACs will have a higher starting watts, and would kick off mine more frequently if it could start the AC at all.
Question:	Prende aires acondicionados? Veo que es de pocos amperios
Answer:	This thing is far too loud for any campground. I also have a Honda 2000. If they are running side-by-side, the only thing you can here running is the Wen, you can't even tell the Honda is running at all. If you want to camp at a CG that says, "No generators", you may find yourself kicked out if you run ANY generator.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use the pull start because it looks like the metal panel is in the way according to the picture
Answer:	The design is not optimal. The panel is in the way to pull the cord straight out. You pull it at a 90 degree angle, outward toward the handles. Mine starts pretty easily, usually one pull and it's not a hard pull. The cord housing is rounded, so the cord won't fray when pulled at 90 degrees.
Question:	What is the noise level
Answer:	To me, the noise seems low/reasonable. It has a large automotive style muffler (not a small lawn mower type). The generator mechanism itself also makes some noise, but not too loud. Actually, i thought this cheaper generator would be louder so I'm very pleased with the noise level. In fact, everything about this generator works well and seems to be high quality especially for the low price. I've not needed it for an actual outage yet, but I've run several tests through my transfer panel with various load levels for 15-20 mins at a time with perfect operation.
Question:	What type of gas should be used? Or does it even matter
Answer:	Alcohol free if possible. If not add a little Ethynol remover to the gas. Also if this has a fuel shutoff valve you should close the valve and let the engine use all the gas in the carburetor so it won't get all gummed up from the alcohol in the gas. I have a 6500 watt I have been using regularly since 2005 and keep it running great this way.
Question:	Can someone confirm if this (gas only) unit has an automatic choke? I'm seeing no reference to a choke lever/switch on pics or video
Answer:	Yes it’s a choke lever it’s hard to see , but it has sticker pointing it out , This generator is a beast had mine for 5 yrs just used it for first time 8/11/20 had gas in it & everything started up & ran like a champ , had 2 full size fridges , sump pump , injection pump & 65 gallon fish plugged up didn’t budge 👍🏾

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this generator be hooked up to a larger (100+ gallon) propane tank, with some type of adapter
Answer:	You need a POL to QCC1 adapter like this or similar. ( SHINESTAR Propane Tank Gauge and Hoses https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0ILKIJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dmVNBbFV8KWDT) Just bought one of these generators for my in laws and a new 100# tank right before hurricane Florence.
Question:	Can I run a fridge and a freezer
Answer:	Definitely. I ran my furnace, fridge, heater for the fish tank, a bunch of lights and phone chargers. Just remember to start the generator first, let it warm up some, pull one thing it at a time and you'll be fine.
Question:	What is the decibel noise rating
Answer:	Remember folks that this is a air cooled engine which are notoriously noisy engines by design. The engine does have a large muffler which helps a lot with exhaust noise but this generator has a open cabinet and doesn’t have an enclosed cabinet so all the machinery noise from the engine and generator goes everywhere. Noise is relative to different people. If a rattling noise is what bothers you but low sounds don’t bother you, you might consider a more expensive model that is enclosed. If rattles don’t bother you but low sounds do, then this is a good product for you. Personaly I knew what I was buying. An open generator that is going to make some sort of racket so I made a very nice enclosure and mine produces 65db at 5 feet. All generators of this price that are air cooled and not enclosed make a lot of noise. It’s more of a matter of what you or your neighbors can tolerate.
Question:	if battery goes dead can it be started manually
Answer:	yes, but only if using propane as a fuel source. if using gasoline then the recoil start won't work without a charged battery attached. I have tried it, and Champion customer service confirmed this.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone gotten a good propane consumption rate yet? The description seems too good to be true....20 hours on a bbq tank
Answer:	hello I have a 3500 w strictly propane and used it during Sandy I poweredy whole house by rigging the board .I actually powered the boiler circulating pump for heat 2 refriges and a freezer besides some lights.I had to juggle appliances once in awile but it ran great .I went through a 100 # propane cylinder it took 2/ 12 hour days and one 8hr day running all those appliances.No prob.We actually ran tje washer once during that week cause some people stayed with us
Question:	What are the physical dimensions of this generator. Description says 28x30x40, thats huge. Is that right? Is that length width and height? 40" tall
Answer:	I just went out and measured mine: 26" tall x 30" wide x 22" deep. I suspect the dimensions given are the packaged dimensions.
Question:	Is the propane hose included
Answer:	I just got mine and the hose I got is five feet long.
Question:	What can i do to stop my propane tank from freezing in at night in the florida summer? this is connected to this generator. help
Answer:	Having used quite a few propane heaters,generators,and torches(large ones) I can safely say the best way to stop the frost is to reduce the pressure on the tank. The easiest, simplest safest way to do that is to get a higher volume tank. If a 20lb tank is frosting badly you are drawing it to quickly,try a 40lb or better even a 100lb tank. Your frosting problem will go away.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long will a tank last when only using the 12 volt plug
Answer:	Yes it can be. You will need a 50 amp breaker for a generator this size and make sure the power supply cord is rated for 50 amps also.

User questions & answers

Question:	I want to send this to Haiti is it possible
Answer:	Its shipped with out fuel international shipping should be ok!
Question:	can it run skill saw or drill one at a time
Answer:	yes
Question:	do you use just gas are gas-oil mix
Answer:	All two cycle engines require mixed fuel. There is no oil in a two cycle engine, it gets its lubrication from the fuel and oil mixture. Being as there is no oil it also gets interior protection from rust by the oil in the fuel mix. The mix ratio is important but not so much as you might think. Minimum 2-cycle engine mix ratios are usually in the 50:1 area. You could go as high as 30:1 if you like. Adding more oil causes a little bit of spark plug fouling that you can clean off by removing the plug and giving it a few passes on the business end with a wire brush. Too much oil is generally better than not enough. Insufficient oil in the mix will cause piston ring wear and early engine failure due to the piston scoring and seizing. At that point the engine has to be rebuilt so you really want to avoid that. There will be instructions regarding the manufacturers recommended fuel/oil mix ratio either on the machine itself or in the manual. Follow the manufacturers advice. USE ONLY OIL DESIGNED TO BE MIXED WITH FUEL, DO NOT USE REGULAR MOTOR OIL. There is a difference in the two kinds of oil. Somewhere on the container of oil you buy you should see the letters "TCW" displayed prominently. There are both standard organic and synthetic oils available. The difference in them is the organics tend to leave a better protective film on the interior engine surfaces, the synthetic oils tend to do a marginally better job of lubrication when the motor is running. It's a trade-off either way. I have two tanks on my boat for my outboard and I put organic regular oil (which btw is cheaper) in one and synthetic in the other. That way I get the best of both. Don't let anyone tell you that once you start using a synthetic you cannot go back to standard oil grades, that's hogwash mythology. No engine manufacturer will validate that silliness so don't worry about it. Any oil is better than no oil, so make sure you HAVE oil and you know what the mixture should be.Don't worry about premium fuel, that tiny little piston and its spark plug are never going to realize a bit of difference in a few octane points. DO treat your fuel with a preservative like "Sta-Bil" EVERY TIME YOU GET FRESH FUEL. Doing this will do much, much more towards keeping your engine running happy and trouble free than putting high octane fuel in it. Avoid ethanol if you can, but usually you can't. Putting a fuel stabilizer in the gas can before you fill it with gasoline will largely if not completely offset the problems caused by ethanol gasoline. A good stabilizer like Sta-bil (I use the marine version religiously) will clean the carburetor, prevent waxing and varnish in the fuel line, prevent phase II fuel separation and breakdown and generally keep you happy with your little engine.The best practice with these engines is to turn off the fuel valve and let the carburetor run dry when you have finished using them. It's easier and faster by only a few seconds to just hit the "off" switch, whatever that might be. It's a better idea to use the fuel shutoff valve (almost all these things come with a little petcock at the bottom of the tank to shut down the fuel flow) to starve the engine of fuel to shut it down. Doing this prevents fuel from sitting in the carburetor and turning to sludge, varnishing up and plugging carb parts and needle valves, etc. When you want to start it again open the fuel valve, activate the choke mechanism and pull the starter rope. If it starts shut the choke off right away. If it fires, shut the choke off and pull the starter rope again, it should start on that pull. If it NEVER fires there's something else wrong than fuel feed.
Question:	how much does it weigh
Answer:	I'm not sure of the weight. Empty it doesn't weigh much but add gas and it does increase the weight.you didn't ask this question, but I will include it anyway, it is noisy.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is the wheel kit that fits the 3600v
Answer:	Around $100 from Home Depot and westinghouse, was unable to find one on Amazon. Or you can do what I did and go to harbor freight and buy a $30 kit. However you will have to do some slight modifications. (IE) Drill and widen out the existing wheel mounting brackets to accommodate the larger axles. Then mount the handle to the frame with some bolts and 2 hose clamps. good luck.
Question:	How much oil needs to put in to start
Answer:	The generator is shipped with a quart of oil and it fills up with less than a quart.

Question:	Esta planta mueve un esmeril y un taladro. Es para montarla en un camión de auxilio vial para gandolas
Answer:	Buenas tardes, primero debes saber cual es el consumo en vatios tanto del taladro como del esmeril, en las especificaciones tecnicas de cada equipo puedes conseguir el consumo en vatios. Lo que aconsejo es que el consumo de los equipos que vayas a conectar no superen en arranque los 3200 vatios para que el esmeril o el taladro trabajen de manera holgada y no exijan mas de su capacidad al generador electrico.

User questions & answers

Question:	Parallel is there a way to parallel these and use them to the full potential? Or get 240v
Answer:	No. I went through this the hard expensive way. You would need to wire these in series, not parallel. It is confusing for us non-electrical engineers. It would be a good idea to make a series kit because in my estimation most people who can afford a 50Amp RV aren't going to screw around with two generators when they can buy a Honda EU7000is. There are no consumer grade (affordable) 240v propane inverter generators available. Just loud dirty power.
Question:	The fuel is gasolinera or LPG or propane gas
Answer:	The iGen4500 runs solely on gasoline. We also offer the iGen4500DF, which runs on both gasoline and propane.
Question:	What is the Dual Fuel option
Answer:	Gas (liquid) or lpg propane tank. Really nice to have
Question:	cual es el costo de envio Puerto Rico
Answer:	I paid 995 for the machine. I don’t know how much shipping is to PR. But I do recommend the machine. It works great

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I run my AC
Answer:	Air conditioners require a certain amount of power (watts, which equals voltage [120 for plug-in, 240 for most central units] multiplied times current draw in amperes ["amps"]. and that's the running power it needs. But when it starts up, for a brief time is pulls more power to start, and for air conditioners the starting power required is more than for a lighter, easier spinning load like a window fan, so you need to identify the starting power draw. Generator ratings show a running power level and a starting power, compare to ensure you get a sufficiently powerful generator, and include all other loads that will connect to it (lighting, refrigerator, etc.), even though they will be less than most air conditioners, it all adds up.
Question:	is this rating "this inverter operates at 64 dBA from 23 feet" at peak draw, or idle
Answer:	The industry standard for measuring inverter output is 25% load.
Question:	I know the product dimensions are listed but they don't specify which is height, length and width. Can anyone please help me with that? Thanks
Answer:	I went out to measure and my approximate measurements are quite different than what's listed. I measured roughly 18inW x 20.5inL x 17.5inHWide I measured across top, front to backLength I measured across front from side to sideHeight I measured from ground to top, including height of gas cap. Hope this helps.
Question:	What makes this a hybrid generator? Is it an inverter generator, or something else
Answer:	We are using the term hybrid in the sense that we have taken a traditionally fully enclosed inverter style generator and put it on an open frame like a traditionally non-inverter style generator. This allows us to use a larger engine and increase output power while decreasing cost. The trade off is that this machine will be slightly louder than fully enclosed style inverters.
