Run your lights, TV, refrigerator, sump pump, heating, air conditioning, microwaves, power tools, and other essentials with ease. Electric start provides quick ignition with a backup recoil starter if needed. The fully packed panel comes equipped with one RV-ready 30-amp TT-30R outlet, one transfer-switch-ready 30-amp 120V L5-30R outlet, and two standard 120V 20-amp 5-20R outlets. The WEN Watchdog CO Shutdown Sensor helps protect both you and your family by automatically turning off the generator if dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected. The wheel and handle kit makes transportation easier than ever while the 4.3-gallon gas tank provides up to 12.5 hours of half-load run time. The onboard data meter digitally displays voltage, frequency, total runtime, and session runtime. And because it’s a WEN product, your generator comes backed by a nationwide network of skilled service technicians, a friendly customer support phone line, and a three-year limited warranty.
