Product Overview

The FIRMAN P03606 generator features 4550 starting Watts and 3650 running watts.120V/240V selectable power is supplied by our Max Pro Series 208cc FIRMAN engine which runs cool and efficient thanks to its Phoenix Fat Head Block. Our Whisper Series muffler keeps the P03606 running a quiet 68 decibels – well below the standards set by the National Parks Service, and our spark arrester has been approved by the USDA Forest Service. The industry-leading 5 gallon fuel capacity provides a whopping 14 hours of run time. Our rubberized Thresher handle makes recoil starting a snap – even with bulky gloves. The FIRMAN Volt Lock automatic voltage regulator ensures clean, consistent power output from the FIRMAN Power Stream alternator. Pertinent information is at your fingertips with our 4-in-1 data minder measuring Volts, Hertz, Hours and a low oil indicator. The durable, compact tubular roll cage frame design is built for years of use. Just add gas! Everything you need comes standard in the box including: oil, funnel, owner’s manual, spark plug wrench, and two wrenches to remove protective shipping brackets.

Asked by Questioner August 18, 2020

The product images on this page's listing are incorrect. This unit can only supply 15 amps at 240 volts using the L14-30R twistlock connection (3650 watts continuous specified). Only the L14-30R twistlock connection can supply 240V the other outlets are 120V. Also remember that when using a 240V connection, it's two "hots", neutral neutral and ground. When connecting to a Generator Transfer Switch, the amount of current from the 240V connection effectively energizes two sides of the panel which means you must take into account that the amount of current supplied to each side is 3650 / 2 = 1825 watts continuous or 15 amps at 120 volts per "side". (volts x amps = watts). See the Firman site for exact information on model P03606 https://www.firmanpowerequipment.com/shop/open-frame-generator-p03606/

Answer

Dear Mike, Thank you for your interest in the Firman 4550/3650-Watt 120/240V Recoil Start Gas Portable Generator. The generator is easy to install as the proper pieces are included. There is not a battery and the only color it come in is black and yellow. It weighs 101.5 pounds and if the AR Blue Clean 1600 psi 1.4 gmp electric pressure washer is within the 4550 watts than it should be able to operate it. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions please let us know. Thanks Customer Service Team Snow Joe + Sun Joe

Outstanding Quality - Best in Value
Delivered in 4 days, be sure to remove the two red shipping brackets on bottom of unit prior to adding the supplied engine oil. Filled tank, added Sta-bil, Installed the wheel and handle kit. Have it running my 220v (1hp submersible) well pump via a transfer switch right now, using the 14-30 built in outlet. Plenty of extra power to handle other load tasks.

As a person who didn't know anything about generators, let me give you some advice. Ground the generator and don't run it in the rain. I wasn't shocked by the machine but I thought you could just have this running in the pouring rain and that isn't safe. The manual states both those items but the ground wire wasn't in the initial startup foldout. That said this machine is quality built. I love the attention to detail and it starts with 1 pull, even when it was brand new. It is loud but it didn't change my life inside the house. You might want to buy the wheel kit because it is heavy. I was able to move it around myself though.

I purchased this one for back up use if the power goes out. The Firman Quick reference guide for set up is highly detailed,comes with oil, funnel and wrenches [to remove shipping support brackets] after set up the generator started on first pull.I put a partial load on it with a hair dryer did not even phrase the output. It puts out 120.1 volts no load and 242 with ease. I recommend a tire kit to move it around with.I use to work on generators and most are loud this one is quiet. When I purchased it the price was $391.00, I had noticed on line that the price had went down when I went to pick it up at the store I requested the sale price and I saved $74.00 what a deal can't beat that.
