WEN 56360i Quiet and Lightweight 3600-Watt RV-Ready Portable Inverter Generator with Fuel Shut Off - 56360i
Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 3600-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, without all the noise of a regular generator. Produce up to 3600 surge watts and 2900 rated watts of power Our 149cc engine operates at a modest 65 decibels at quarter load. This limits its invasiveness while camping, hunting, tailgating, and restoring backup power. The WEN 3600W Inverter Generator is also equipped with fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before automatically shutting down. This helps fight the build-up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside of the carburetor, minimizing maintenance while prolonging the unit’s lifespan. Designed to mirror a pure sine wave, this generator limits total harmonic distortion to under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load, making it safe to run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets and other sensitive electronics. The lightweight 46-pound design makes for easy portability while the ultra-efficient 1.6-gallon tank provides up to 5 hours of half-load run time. The fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V NEMA 5-20R receptacles, one 12V DC receptacle, one 120V TT-30R RV receptacle, and two 5V USB ports. Maximize fuel economy by engaging the eco-mode switch. This allows the generator's engine to automatically adjust its fuel consumption as items are plugged into and unplugged from the panel, preventing the unnecessary usage of gasoline. Need more energy? Easily link up any two WEN inverter generators using a WEN Parallel Connection Kit (sold separately) in order to share wattage amongst multiple units. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown combine with the built-in overload protection and indicator lights to safeguard both your generator and your electronics from damage. And because this is a WEN Product, your inverter generator comes backed by a 3-year limited warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer helpline. Remember when your generator powered your electronics safely and quietly? Remember WEN.

Maintenance Tips
-
Check engine oil before each use to ensure proper lubrication and prevent engine damage.
-
Change engine oil after the first ~8 hours of use, then every 50 hours (or more frequently under heavy load or hot conditions) to maintain engine health.
-
Inspect and clean or replace the air filter every 50 hours, or sooner in dusty or humid environments, to maintain efficient airflow and combustion.
-
Check the spark plug periodically — clean, re-gap, or replace if worn or fouled to ensure reliable ignition.
-
Drain the carburetor after each use or before long-term storage to prevent stale fuel buildup and clogging.
-
For long-term storage, drain the fuel tank and carburetor and store the generator in a cool, dry place to avoid fuel degradation and internal corrosion.
-
Keep all ventilation openings and exterior surfaces clean and free of debris to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating.
-
Run the generator 20–30 minutes monthly under a light load if not used regularly to keep internal components lubricated and ready for operation.
-
Always shut down the generator, unplug loads, and let it cool before performing maintenance or refueling to avoid fire hazards and damage.
-
Periodically inspect nuts, bolts, and electrical connections to ensure stability, safety, and reliable operation.
