User questions & answers

Question:	How long can i keep the generator running continuously? (westinghouse wgen
Answer:	If you are referring to "continuous duty cycle" which means runs 24/7? No, this is not rated for that, Continuous duty generators cost $15K and up, run on diesel fuel or natural gas, engine operates at 1800 RPM, (4 pole generator). basically out of most peoples price range, and unless you have natural gas to the residence?
Question:	Why oh why can't this be shipped to alaska? we're the ones that need generators
Answer:	You're too close to Russia. We don't want them falling into the wrong hands. 😂
Question:	Is the 50 amp 120/240V 14–50r transfer switch capable or can you only use the 30r? It says 50 amp transfer switch ready on the brochure
Answer:	The 240 volt outlet plug on the generator is a 30 amp style; not 50 amp. Most economical and safe whole home installation is a sliding plate on distribution panel, 30 amp “back feed” breaker, outdoor 30 amp plung-in box, 10 gauge wire (in conduit if exposed and susceptible to damage), 25 ft 240 volt generator connector cable, all for about $200 for DIY’s. DO NOT DEPEND ON ALWAYS REMEMBERING TO TURN OFF THE MAIN BREAKER!!!!!
Question:	Prende aires acondicionados? Veo que es de pocos amperios
Answer:	Tengo un aire de 3TON (36000 BTU), lo enciende sin ningun problema, adicional todas las luces y artefactos electricos, 2 neveras, sistema hidroneumatico de 1HP... con todo esto encendido solo llego a 55% de carga del generador WPro12000

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with a handle to assist when pulling the unit
Answer:	Yes 2 handles, I'm 5' tall and I can move it.
Question:	Does it have a back up recoil start if you have a dead battery
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does this unit have an low oil indicator and will it shut itself off if the oil is low
Answer:	It does not have a low oil indicator, but it has a low oil shut off. You should check the oil level every time you start it up.
Question:	Will it run on pump gas. Here in CA all gas has ethanol
Answer:	A little tip... When you're finished using it, shut off the fuel petcock while it's running so all the fuel in the carburetor is consumed. Ethanol fuel sitting in a carburetor greatly shortens its service live.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long will a tank last when only using the 12 volt plug
Answer:	Yes it can be. You will need a 50 amp breaker for a generator this size and make sure the power supply cord is rated for 50 amps also. I purchased the Conntech bundle package which includes a 15ft power cord along with the plug-in box for $169 here on Amazon along with the 50amp double pole breaker for about $20.
Question:	Is this the proper oil? http://amzn.to/2l17UZs
Answer:	SC2000i has its engine made from Yamaha, SUA2000i has the engine built from less known Senci(but as reliable)
Question:	Will this run an 8000btu window air conditioner (best I found online is the ac is around 7amps), a 19" tv, and a dvd player
Answer:	If I am not mistaken AI Power makes their own engines and got into the generator business in recent years.
Question:	Is this quiet enough to keep me from getting kicked out of a campground that prohibits generators (due to noise
Answer:	Everything is made in China. Even my underpants

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any generators comparable in price and amenities (quiet, light) that runs on propane
Answer:	One commenter wrote “I then converted it to tri-fuel (gasoline/propane/natural gas) using a kit from US Carburetion (kit MSK3202).” Using the MSK3202 to switch from gas to propane could result in a large THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) since “One can typically expect to get around 10 – 15 % less power from a propane generator compared an equivalent gas generator.” chainsawjournal Or using the MSK3202 to switch from gas to propane could result in an unknown THD plus 10 – 15 % less power.
Question:	Will this run out of the box? Does it include oil
Answer:	No Oil! Comes with the funnel to fill the oil. Once oil and gasoline are added it fires right up.
Question:	What are the true differences between this model and the 56200i which is more money, but seems to offer less features?? thanks
Answer:	I have both, the 56200i is heaver and slightly larger, it also has a fuel gauge. The 56203i is noticeably quieter and puts out slightly more wattage. You won't be disappointed with either of them.
Question:	Who makes the Engine
Answer:	Its made in China, its a copy of the Yamaha 79cc engine. Very reliable if you take care to service it properly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this generator be hooked up to a larger (100+ gallon) propane tank, with some type of adapter
Answer:	You need a POL to QCC1 adapter like this or similar. ( SHINESTAR Propane Tank Gauge and Hoses https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0ILKIJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dmVNBbFV8KWDT) Just bought one of these generators for my in laws and a new 100# tank right before hurricane Florence.
Question:	Can I run a fridge and a freezer
Answer:	Definitely. I ran my furnace, fridge, heater for the fish tank, a bunch of lights and phone chargers. Just remember to start the generator first, let it warm up some, pull one thing it at a time and you'll be fine.
Question:	What is the decibel noise rating
Answer:	Remember folks that this is a air cooled engine which are notoriously noisy engines by design. The engine does have a large muffler which helps a lot with exhaust noise but this generator has a open cabinet and doesn’t have an enclosed cabinet so all the machinery noise from the engine and generator goes everywhere. Noise is relative to different people. If a rattling noise is what bothers you but low sounds don’t bother you, you might consider a more expensive model that is enclosed. If rattles don’t bother you but low sounds do, then this is a good product for you. Personaly I knew what I was buying. An open generator that is going to make some sort of racket so I made a very nice enclosure and mine produces 65db at 5 feet. All generators of this price that are air cooled and not enclosed make a lot of noise. It’s more of a matter of what you or your neighbors can tolerate.
Question:	if battery goes dead can it be started manually
Answer:	yes, but only if using propane as a fuel source. if using gasoline then the recoil start won't work without a charged battery attached. I have tried it, and Champion customer service confirmed this.

User questions & answers

Question:	would like to adapt to another gererator. can someone tell me the actual axel length/wheel base measurment
Answer:	axel length is 19 inches long,wheel base is 8 inches wide.
Question:	Ran gen and turned off petcock till unit died. Why is gas still getting into carb/air cleaner assembly
Answer:	It seems that if you overfill the fuel tank, the gas makes it's way into the vent and and then drains thru the hose back into the air cleaner assembly. Not the greatest design, but I drained some fuel from the tank and now the problem is solved.. Thanks for you input anyhow.
Question:	can you plug a power strip into the outlet and run lamps, refrigerator and sump pump all at the same time
Answer:	Yes - as long as the wattage doesn't exceed the rated capacity. We've used ours to run two refrigerators, two fans and our water well without any issues.
Question:	Can somone explain the difference between surge watts and running watts
Answer:	Think of the running watts as the generator stabilizing its power output & staying level. When you plug another item into it that means it has to do more or output more power for a few seconds it amps up to compensate for the new item plugged in. A quick surge in watts happens & eventually levels out back to the running watts. If it happens to go over the max surge watts too far it'll shut off.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the dB rating on this unit
Answer:	50 dB at 1/2”. That is what the manufacturer is saying. Without a standard it is worthless information. I can claim mine is 47 dB but that measurement is at 30’ from the quietest side another claims 57dB but that is at 10’ Reporting the max reading from any side. Guess which one is quieter? Every generator is 0dB if you stand far enough away.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Most of Generac’s products—like the XC Series portable generators—are built right here in Wisconsin. However, the iQ3500 is manufactured to our specifications by a partner overseas.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Same as my DuroMax XP2000iS. These are all Yamaha clones. I paid $450 for mine. Same exact generator, just blue instead of orange. Also, the Pulsar PG2300iS at $429.
Question:	Generac 30 A for RV
Answer:	I have a Rockwood 233s travel trailer with a 15k air conditioning unit. This runs the whole unit, lights, fridge, water pump fans and AC no problem.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone gotten a good propane consumption rate yet? The description seems too good to be true....20 hours on a bbq tank
Answer:	hello I have a 3500 w strictly propane and used it during Sandy I poweredy whole house by rigging the board .I actually powered the boiler circulating pump for heat 2 refriges and a freezer besides some lights.I had to juggle appliances once in awile but it ran great .I went through a 100 # propane cylinder it took 2/ 12 hour days and one 8hr day running all those appliances.No prob.We actually ran tje washer once during that week cause some people stayed with us
Question:	What are the physical dimensions of this generator. Description says 28x30x40, thats huge. Is that right? Is that length width and height? 40" tall
Answer:	I just went out and measured mine: 26" tall x 30" wide x 22" deep. I suspect the dimensions given are the packaged dimensions.
Question:	Is the propane hose included
Answer:	I just got mine and the hose I got is five feet long.
Question:	What can i do to stop my propane tank from freezing in at night in the florida summer? this is connected to this generator. help
Answer:	Having used quite a few propane heaters,generators,and torches(large ones) I can safely say the best way to stop the frost is to reduce the pressure on the tank. The easiest, simplest safest way to do that is to get a higher volume tank. If a 20lb tank is frosting badly you are drawing it to quickly,try a 40lb or better even a 100lb tank. Your frosting problem will go away.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there aftermarket propane/ natural gas conversion kit for the 56380i generator? This generator exceeded all my expectations
Answer:	You will need the engine manufacturers model number to search for the kit on line.
Question:	Will this generator auto charge up a battery when it starts to get low
Answer:	No you should run your generator every 21 to 25 days and store it inside a garage. Cold weather can effect such a small battery. Let it run for 30 to 45 mins to recharge the internal battery. You could also buy a trickle charger for a small motorcycle battery size if you dont want to run your generator. Just be creative hook up your shop vac or air compressor to fill up tires on your vehicles or shop vacuum the interior while hooked up to your generator!
Question:	How long of an extension cord can I use with this generator
Answer:	I use a 100’ 10 gauge ext cord with no problems
Question:	Will the WEN 5380i run effeciently at 7800' elevation
Answer:	You have to buy a high altitude carb air jet. They are only $20 shipped with tax but are a little annoying to install.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does Pulsar offer a running cover for this 12000 watt model? If not does anyone have experience in one that they have purchased they could recommend

User questions & answers

Question:	Parallel is there a way to parallel these and use them to the full potential? Or get 240v
Answer:	No. I went through this the hard expensive way. You would need to wire these in series, not parallel. It is confusing for us non-electrical engineers. It would be a good idea to make a series kit because in my estimation most people who can afford a 50Amp RV aren't going to screw around with two generators when they can buy a Honda EU7000is. There are no consumer grade (affordable) 240v propane inverter generators available. Just loud dirty power.
Question:	The fuel is gasolinera or LPG or propane gas
Answer:	The iGen4500 runs solely on gasoline. We also offer the iGen4500DF, which runs on both gasoline and propane.
Question:	What is the Dual Fuel option
Answer:	Gas (liquid) or lpg propane tank. Really nice to have

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this generator be hooked up to a larger (100+ gallon) propane tank, with some type of adapter
Answer:	You need a POL to QCC1 adapter like this or similar. ( SHINESTAR Propane Tank Gauge and Hoses https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0ILKIJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dmVNBbFV8KWDT) Just bought one of these generators for my in laws and a new 100# tank right before hurricane Florence.
Question:	Can I run a fridge and a freezer
Answer:	Definitely. I ran my furnace, fridge, heater for the fish tank, a bunch of lights and phone chargers. Just remember to start the generator first, let it warm up some, pull one thing it at a time and you'll be fine.
Question:	What is the decibel noise rating
Answer:	Remember folks that this is a air cooled engine which are notoriously noisy engines by design. The engine does have a large muffler which helps a lot with exhaust noise but this generator has a open cabinet and doesn’t have an enclosed cabinet so all the machinery noise from the engine and generator goes everywhere. Noise is relative to different people. If a rattling noise is what bothers you but low sounds don’t bother you, you might consider a more expensive model that is enclosed. If rattles don’t bother you but low sounds do, then this is a good product for you. Personaly I knew what I was buying. An open generator that is going to make some sort of racket so I made a very nice enclosure and mine produces 65db at 5 feet. All generators of this price that are air cooled and not enclosed make a lot of noise. It’s more of a matter of what you or your neighbors can tolerate.
Question:	if battery goes dead can it be started manually
Answer:	yes, but only if using propane as a fuel source. if using gasoline then the recoil start won't work without a charged battery attached. I have tried it, and Champion customer service confirmed this.
Question:	Will this work for emergency power to home
Answer:	Yes it will, the size of the generator needed is dictated by the power requirements of all of the items you want to run. We recommend working with an authorized Generac dealer to determine the generator size that would best suit your needs. If you need assistance finding a local dealer, we recommend using our dealer locator found here: http://www.generac.com/dealer-locator
Question:	Does the battery come included
Answer:	No, battery NOT included. As of July 2014, I found prices for a compatible battery to range from $36 (Amazon.com) to over $100 (Home Depot).My DXGN7200 always starts easily with no more than 2 pulls of the starter cord, so I haven't bought a battery. From the docs included w/ the DXGN7200 generator, specs for required battery:The required battery is a nominal 12 volt sealedrechargeable lead-acid battery and can be operated in anyposition without leakage. It complies with non-spillable batteryregulations. Its convenient size offers a 30% reduction overconventional batteries.Length = 7.14 inches, Width = 3.03 inches,Height = 6.59 inches, Weight = 12.56 lbs18AH Rating
Question:	Is the plug in a 3 or 4 prong
