Found more water damage under the plywood that needs to be repaired. My brother helping me check the damage.
I have this exact model. It has a rubber grommet on the bottom of the case. Put the generator up on 4x4 wood blocks front and back. I put a motorcycle drain pan under the machine. Pull rubber grommet. Open drain plug and oil will drain right into the motorcycle drain pan. Wipe with rag. Slight tilt to get the last bit of oil out. Then fill with 20.3 fluid ounces of oil. Reseal and your good to go. Easier than my other generators by far. 👍
I might have to try that method
Can it be transferred to 230v
Not sure if I understand your question. but it has that plug already
Suggest replacing that drain plug with a magnetic one. There is no oil filter so it will grab any metal shaving during breakin. In fact you should have replaced it before you even ran it the first time.

A funnel helps when draining the oil. Those magnetic plugs are nice also.
I may have to try that, but I will have to figure out how to hold it and the generator at the same time
That little black plug you removed and you said there's one on the bottom remove both of them black plugs and behind the first black plug on the side is should be a 10 mm bolt remove that 10 mm bolt that is your drain bolt for the oil little drain out the bottom and you will not have that big nasty mess
Thanks! I'll have to check that out.
Hey man have you thought about using one of those hand pump fluid extractor? can probably just suck it all out through the dipstick hole 🤷♂️
I thought about it, but kind of want any shavings or anything to pour out if its in there and not sit in the bottom.
So looking like this wen generator is really good and durable and puts out power without any problems even using propane how long is the warranty on it and is the warranty department any good for handling issues
My first one was defective and blew out not long after the first break-in oil change/ customer service was great and I had a new one maybe 2 weeks later. The warranty states 3yrs or 500hrs. copy and paste link below. cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0012/0350/3168/files/56477i.manual.20231107.pdf?v=1699476673

These Chinese engines burn oil check before use every time. Usually they don't burn much for the first 200 hrs.
Just an fyi, not supposed to thread the dipstick in to check it. Set in until stops, pull out and check.
Mine came with no oil in it, I put the oil that came in the container, which is supposed to be the right amount running with no problem.
I'm going to assume mine didn't either

Damn you only had it a munt ,munt inna haff..dont run on gas use propane,gas is the wrong choice
I think it was defective. the first oil change looked milky

Well, crap. I just ordered a WEN 4800 . Guess I let you know how that works out
Hey Homey...saw your previous YT testing your new gen in your garage. Be reminded that Carbon Monoxide is a deadly, odorless and colorless gas that is considerably lighter than air. Don't know how long you tested the gen in your garage, but even with the garage door cracked, the gas can accumulate near the top of an unattached garage or can seep from an attached garage into your home. Carbon monoxide poisoning contributes to the approximately 5,613 smoke inhalation deaths each year in the United States. Be well and keep safe. Researching a backup emergency gen to pwr my home. Seeking a relatively quiet LPG unit, with a THD of 5% or less, electric start, and with at least a 3 year manufacturer's warranty. Will connect gen to basement circuit breaker panel via a 50 amp cable and outside connector. Plan to store mine if a 4 or 5 ft high, custom insulated plastic storage shed. Estimate I need 8K total running watts on LPG, with 6K for load plus 2K extra safety margin. Don't need/can't afford a big Generac, but that ice storm in San Antonio several years ago and all the storm activity so far this year has me throughly spooked.
Just some feedback on your info. CO does not float or sink. It spreads evenly, so cracked garage door can effectively disperse carbon monoxide.
This one runs everything fine in my camper even with the A/C turning on and off. I think they do have a model with more bells and whistles. Right now its cranking on the first pull except for after an oil change. thx for the tips on running it in the garage. I had both doors open to create a draft and I was not in there most of the time.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
There are pumps that will suck all the oil out for a very minimal price no mess
thx T saw one at harbor freight
I see that this was over a month ago since replacement. Still going strong? On the fence between the Wen 4800 or Predator 3500. Will pull the trigger on either soon. Thanks for posting!
nice remember this 4800 is the surge. its really 4000 continuous
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I bought the Wen magnetic dip stick to pull any metal out of the oil to give the generator longer life. On break in I change oil on the first hour of running and second hour then at 8 hours. The magnet picked up some black gunk each oil change so it might be metal. Hopefully I get a long term Wen. I also only use propane and not gas.
I was thinking about getting it.
What a mess they got this thing called the Horusdy 500cc fluid extractor makes oil change so much easier and cleaner
I think I saw something like that at harbor freight
@@ScratchOutdoors HFT has a transfer pump for really cheap. It works great for small projects.

????
great video
Thanks!
Did you get a replacement?
Yes, it cam about a week after I got the defective one to the UPS store
Selfie stick
Hello, you won the selfie stick give away. please reach out to me by the end of the week so that I can get your info to send out too
@ what’s up bro I just found out I won …. How do u want to contact me ?
Congratulations!! send me a email to: scratchdogg81@gmail.com I need a name address and shirt size
your face at 22:30 is priceless lmao i think you had it on choke not run position at first
It was my first time cranking it up lol
Well if nothing else you showed Wen has good support.
I checked back on my claim and all it said was defective. And its now closed.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Bruuuh..! U in the living room? Is that one of those propane flame heaters nearby...? OH LAWD...!
hello, you mean the kerosene heater?? yes it's in the garage.
@ScratchOutdoors careful, just saying
These suit case generators are nice, but this is where the open frame shines. A lot easier to do all this stuff
True, but they are so much louder. I was looking for sound and power.
Did you run it for 12 hours continuously before you did the oil change?
I followed the manual from WEN for my specific unit.. After the first 8 hours, change the oil, then change it again after the first 25 hours. You may run the generator at full load af ter the 8-hour oil change. Refer to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule in Table
Ive been looking hard at a pair of these 4800s for my 5th wheel rv. I currently run it on 2 3500 predators but i wanted the extra bump in power. I hope you have better luck with the next one.
So far its been good. Sounds good; they are 4800 surge 4000w running.
i sold my pediators one 4800 runs both ac a pair runs everything including a 1500 watt heater element and microwave
@davidwhichard2956 have you had any issues with it at all?
Hello.please what I can run on this inverter generator during power out . please can you list ?thank you .
watts peak Hello. I really can't tell you what you can run. in my camper it runs everything I need at the same time. 2 TV's, laptop, home internet modem, 3 cell phones, fridge, AC, & several lights. I had all these things running at once with no issues. you may want to get one of the plugs that tell you how much an item is pulling.
@@ScratchOutdoors thank you so much for the reply.
Selfie stick
selfie stick great video much love from us keep it up .
What happened to the first one?
Hello, it started smoking one day after running for about 2hrs. my light started flickering so I shut it off. WEN sent a new one, but I have no clue of why that happened.
Keep us posted brother. Hope this one gets you a couple thousand hours and years of life.
Got this stick over here
Hey good to hear from you
I hope get another one I just ordered one also the 4800
cool thats the one I have. So after watching several other vids on wen generators; the suggestion I saw to do is to use that bottle of oil that comes in the box. Supposedly it helps the ring get seated and sealed in place. So when I do my first oil change on this new one sent to me; I will use that bottle of oil.
Does it come with a propane hose?
The one I have is not the dual fuel. its only gas. I have seen that your talking about ; but not sure what comes with those.
Cool, thanks anyway.
yes, the WEN DF480ix dual fuel comes with the hose and regulator to connect to a propane tank.
Thanks
@@josh_the_happy yes it does...I have the dual fuel version
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
What is your altitude? Did they ask you about that?j
no they didn't. they put in a address and went from that
Looking good
Thanks 👍
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Your unit do have a drain plug ,just below the fill plug a little to the left . Also on the bottom of the unit there's a 2nd rubber pull out plug to allow the oil to drain thought. The first rubber pull out plug is on the outside just before the bottom of the case on the same side ,where you take off the cover to fill or drain the oil. Look thought th3 first pull out rubber plug and you'll see the sliver drain plug,
yeap, I saw that afterwards but its still messy. thx though
