the generators need to be in an open area outside not in a barrel
Ours are Floating Neutrals meaning The neutral is not connected to the generator's frame or ground. This is common when a generator is used as a backup power source for a building's electrical system, and the transfer switch doesn't switch the neutral.
Remove generator from package Add Oil Oil Type: SAE10W-30 Oil (Must add BEFORE first use) Oil Capacity: 18.5 fluid oz Because this generator includes Low Oil Shut Off, the generator will not start with low oil) Connect Fuel If using Gasoline, add fuel and turn Gasoline Fuel Petcock to On (Fig C). If using LP, connect regulator hose (Fig A) to Propane Fuel Tank and to the Gas Inlet (Fig B). Make sure the LPG adapter (Fig F) is connected (Fig E). If using NG, replace the LPG adapter with the NG adapter (Fig E). (NOTE: Adapters are labeled with LPG and NG. (Fig F)) Directly connect to the NG system with a gas hose no less than 3/8" (inside diameter), no longer than 10 ft (3m), and to the gas inlet (Fig B). DO NOT use the LP regulator hose (Fig A) for NG. Refer to the manual for detailed information Use the generator OUTDOORS in a WELL VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT CONNECT electrical devices until AFTER the generator is started. Turn Power Switch to ON Adjust the CHOKE to CLOSED position (Figure D) To start the generator manually, use the Recoil (Pull) Start. Once the engine has started, wait an addtional 2 minutes to allow the engine to warm up. Then turn the CHOKE LEVER to OPEN position. You can now connect electrical devices.
you only need to ground the generator if it is above 3000 ft or if it is storming.
Buffalo Bill. I was also wondering - the guy said... the carburetor is gunked up from old gas. He switches over to propane - does the whole propane fuel source go through the carburetor or is the gunked up carburetor completely bypassed?
yes but you will want to drain the old gas and clean the carburetor
FIRST YEAR ALL PARTS AND A SERVICE IF NEEDED, 2ND YEAR ONLY EMISSION PARTS ARE COVERED
No, it is not powerful enough, you will need a generator in the 10,000 to 15,000 watt range. Mike
We use a math equation to figure out the wattage of the what you want to plug in AMPS x VOLTS = RUNNING WATTS RUNNING WATTS x 2.5 = SURGE WATTS You can find all this information on the device you want to plug in. Make sure the surge watts does not exceed the generators listed surge watt. ALWAYS convert BTUs from air conditioners to RUNNING WATTS .
In the manual there is a chart that can help you decide on what cord will work better for you. It depends on the amperage you will be trying to run. We advise no longer than 50 feet, the longer the cord the less power it pushes. If you need that manual they are available on buffalotools.com
