Great stuff finally great video on this. Thanks 4 sharing.

you look like Freddy Kruger

What were you able to run with this generator in your house? Ac?

I purchased one this morning from Lowe’s in Kingwood Texas - I am 30 minutes outside of Houston Texas - we have been without power for almost three days & we are expected to be without power for another four days

I literally just bought mine from the same Lowes in Kingwood

Do I need to put the wheels and handles on mines

I have the same one it got me thru 4 days in a bad ice storm in Michigan before my grid power was restored

Hey. How many gallons of gas did you use in those 4 days of power outtage? Thanks

Can you find maintenance parts for this unit? My model # is G0076721

This is great

GRACIAS AMIGO.

Using mine right now. DANG Hurricane 😂

Can you show how to run the house with it next. Like what connects where …and breakers off or on or whatever we need to do there.. ?

How is the generator doing now? I just ordered one from Lowes, should arrive in a week. Anything you've noticed since you've had it that you learned? any oil changes yet?

Generator is doing great, though rarely used. Generac sent a safety kit a few months after I bought it. It's a guard that goes over the pinch point of the handle when it swings down/up. Maybe yours will have it already. Have not changed the oil yet. I've powered up the transfer switch and works great with plenty of power. No complaints.

No it does not

Was it able to power your whole house ?

@weathdl7155

No, it does not power the whole house. I only have 8 circuits in the switch panel that the generator powers. 2 stand up fridges, 1 small chest freezer, a Rinnai tankless waterheater (gas), kitchen outlets, 1 bathroom and several outlets and lights throughout the house. It powers all of that fine.

Thank you…. Much needed answer

A lot louder than expected.

After no power for hours, then it sounds really nice! 🤣

I have the same exact generator - I left the "on" switch on. Do you know where the battery is? how to recharge or replace?

@weathdl7155

Жыл бұрын

I don't have a battery on mine, it's pull start only. You must have a different model. Perhaps you could pull start yours and let it run a while to recharge the battery, if you don't have a charger.

Gas or propane

Is this a 4- Cycle or 2 ?

About 20 gallons.

Buy a muffler adapter and cheap muffler and attach it to your Generator. So much quieter……

I bought a GP5500, It failed in less than 10 hours. Customer service did nothing despite it being a 100 percent design flaw. Seal failure allowed light rain to leak into the gas tank. rusted out. Cost $400 to replace. They don't care about their customers.

Hmmm...what about the parts of the user manual that says don't use a garden hose to clean and to store it in a dry place? They tell you not to let it get wet...🤷‍♂️

It's junk.used one time 2.3 hours run time and won't start

⚠️Rules about generator safety: This is just a safety reminder. 1) KEEPING OTHERS SAFE: Please do not allow an unqualified person or your children to operate and service the portable generator. Just because some manuals don’t say that doesn’t mean it’s safe. That is important against the generator safety rules. We also need to be keeping an eye on our children too. You need to make sure that your children are not playing near the portable generator especially when it’s running so they won’t get electrocuted. Generators pose electrical risks and they can be hot during an operation. Please keep your children away from the portable generator at all times. It is important to keep our children safe especially our little ones. Be aware of all the hazards. 2) WHERE TO RUN YOUR GENERATOR: Some people use their portable generators indoors which increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have a carbon monoxide if you have a gas generator. Never ever use your generator indoors even if your doors and windows are open and even in the garage is not safe to use a portable generator. Not even at your porch and your deck. It is never safe to use your generator indoors and in enclosed areas of your home. Your generator needs to be 15-20 feet away from your house. 3)🔥FIRE HAZARDS: Never refuel your generator while it’s running. You need to let your generator cool off before refueling it and before storing your generator. Never overload your generator too. Never ever back feed your generator. You should never plug your generator into a wall outlet. Also never store propane tanks indoors. Please keep flammable things away from the generator as well and please don’t smoke cigarettes near the generator. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important against the generator safety rules. 4) GENERATOR OPERATION: make sure your hands are dry before touching the generator. Never use your generator in wet conditions. Don’t let your generator get wet. You need a generator tent if you need to use your generator during wet weather. Please don’t wear loose clothes when operating the generator. Turn on your generator before plugging in appliances. Use the right cord for your generator. Please do not use worn out cords. kzread.info/dash/bejne/e2WetpV6fqi0pqw.html and here is a video more about keeping others safe when using generators Hope this helps. Remember safety first

These generators are garbage. I had one serviced completely last year, put in fuel stabilizer over the winter, tried to start it and it's dead. this thing continues to frustrate me and fails me. it has about 11 hours of use.

@weathdl7155

Sorry to hear that. I always turn my fuel off before shutting it down and let the carb run itself out of fuel. As it begins to die I even apply the choke to get as much of the fuel out as possible until it dies out on its own. So far so good.

@weathdl I just put in the fuel stabilizer and octane cleaner and shut the shut off valve, and stored it away for the winter. No way it has gummed up. The fuel line, sparkplug, replaced, and serviced last may. I've had a lawnmower that fires up on the first pull offer 6 months winter. This generator that I paid alot of money for, really frustrating. Maybe the carburetor needs to be recalibrate for fuel, air. Going to take it to another different service center. Cheers

Dang that’s weird. My company uses these exact one in the oil field. We run them non stop 8-10 hours a day putting up wellheads. They run like champs. Even on the coldest days in Wyoming they don’t take more than a couple pulls to get them going.

That thing is super loud.
