User questions & answers

Question:	How does a little heater that size use 22,000w? You could heat half a house with that
Answer:	This heating pad does not consume 22,000 watts. It works on Generac standby generators that are between 9kw and 22kw size.
Question:	Is the kit for generators made after
Answer:	Yes
Question:	My heating pad is falling apart, appears to be corrosion. How do I know if it is still working
Answer:	I am on my second heating pad. First one corrosion really bad. Broke power cord. Setting off a alarm code. Light outside unit turned yellow. I keep my heater pad installed only when months go into 30s. 20s. Remove in spring. Works for me
Question:	How efficient is this unit? or How many amps does it pull
Answer:	Worthless. I'll sell you mine for half price. The Oil warmer is good, they provide no insulation to keep from most of the heat going into the ether!'

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.

Answer:	That sounds expensive and possibly delicate. Please consider using a robust inline power conditioner or UPS system. The generator makes plenty of power, your concern should be the integrity of the waveform. Server equipment is probably looking for a very clean sine wave. Tom
Question:	Cuantos decibeles

User questions & answers

Question:	is the air filter a pleated round one and NOT the flat one as pictured. My machine was put in 2013, engine
Answer:	Yes Amazon has the wrong picture for this kit. It is the round cylinder air filter ( Part# 0G3332) with black ends on it for pre 2013 models
Question:	Will this work for model 58701 8K standby unit
Answer:	Need to know month and year it was purchased. The 5870 used a different air filter prior to early 2013
Question:	I bought the Generac 6482 maintenance kit from Amazon last year and it included a PLEATED ROUND AIR FILTER, WHICH IS CORRECT, not a flat one as piture
Answer:	This kit is for 2013 and newer units only. Pre 2013 8kW units are 5662, 10kW units are 5663, 12-kW units are 5664, & 20kW units are 5665
Question:	This kit fits the Generac 5696 generator
Answer:	You can look at the individual parts on your 5696. The spark plug has its product number written right on it. A Champion RC12YC Spark Plug comes in this kit. If that's the same Spark Plug you have in your 5696 then you only need to measure the "gap" to maintain the correct gap. The Oil Filter also has its product number written on it. In this case Oil Filter 070185E is normally used. (there is a smaller - 30% smaller - filter that they used as well, in the event in has to be placed in a more confined space.) This particular Oil Filter is roughly 2-3/4" X 3-5/8" Tall AND it has to have room to screw onto the nipple. The Air Filter OE9371A is the Air Filter in this kit. Made for the "EVOLUTION" 8KW Auto-Standby Generator. The filter has an outside measurement of 5" X 7-5/8". The white filter material is roughly 4-3/4" X 7-1/4" and 5/8" deep. (This will need to fit in your model 5696 air box.) This "DIYer" visual comparison should give you an idea of the parts in this particular kit. The owners manual, a local Generac dealer or contacting Generac directly by either phone or website are your next best steps. Hope this helps.

Product description

From the Manufacturer

Siemens standby power mechanical interlock kits provide a means to ensure that the Main breaker powered by utility power within a panel is forced to the OFF position when standby power is in use. It also ensures that the standby source is forced to the OFF position when the utility power is in use. The most common application for these kits is when a portable generator is used to provide back up power to a building. If the utility Main breaker in a panel is left in the -"ON"-position while a generator is powering the panel, dangerous back feeding of the utility power lines can occur. The ECSBPK01 will work on any Siemens or Murray Load Center in which the Main breaker and standby power breaker are backfed, two pole, QP or MP type breakers.

• UL Listed
• For use on Siemens or Murray panels
• Main breaker is double pole QP breaker 15-125 Amp
• Standby power breaker is a QP or MP type
• No modification of panel required; Breakers not included

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the siemens interlock workpn the old ite panel
Answer:	Siemens owns some of the circuit breaker business previously branded as GOULD or I-T-E. My old GOULD panels (mid-'80's) call for type QP breakers, among others. Siemens is now the one that sells QP breakers, and I doubt this is some different QP as they look identical. This interlock is for QP (and Murray MP-T) breakers according to the instruction sheet, so it seems likely the interlock would work with an old ite panel using QP breakers. I know this question is old, but people will still look at it so I wanted to clarify. Now to muddy things: I called Siemens support because I wanted to see if I could use a different location for the main utility breaker, since their current documentation shows only using the top left position. He explained the new boxes say this because that is the only spot the screw for the MBR-2 retainer fits. This did not seem to be the case for MBR-1 my panel lists or the retainer in ECSBPK01. Unfortunately, he pointed out that my panel was not listed among those designated as acceptable in the ECSBPK01 instructions. I had thought it was on the list, due to misreading the asterisks. He agreed this just meant that the company had not tested it, but implied the lack of paper trail could be a problem depending on the inspector or insurance. It seems to fit and work perfectly, though.
Question:	will this work on general electric breakers
Answer:	OK . . . I'm not a fan of these Generator Transfer ' Brackets ' . To me , they are all somewhat flimsy , BUT , that said , I think that this brand is one of the better ones . It costs more but my recommendation is to go with a separate ' Double Pole Transfer Switch " such as a Siemens Model # DTNF223 . SO . . . yes it works but one has to use it carefully to avoid it bending or not working properly ..
Question:	Will the ecsbpk01 work with siemens qp breakers installed in a siemens main lug p1224l1125cu

User questions & answers

Question:	What does "not cul" in the headline mean? (certified underwriters laboratory
Answer:	Hello,My name is Anna and I will be assisting you today. It means that it is not Canadian Underwriter's Laboratories certified, noted as cUL. In the U.S. it would be UL listed and in Canada; it is CUL or CSA listed for product certification. If the product is NOT cUL listed; it is unfortunately not certified for use by cUL and could be considered a violation of code to use that product in an application in Canada. Please contact us if you need any further assistance. Thank you!
Question:	Does it have to be placed on concrete or asphalt or can it be placed on level ground
Answer:	Hello,The unit can be placed on a concrete mounting pad; or a pea gravel foundation. It depends upon what the local code requirements allow in your area. To guard against vibration; we recommend mounting it on a concrete pad which the unit would be bolted down to. The guidelines for the mounting and installation as well as the clearance requirements for the unit can be found in the install guidelines manual upon receiving the unit. I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you need any further assistance.

Product description

Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 2,350-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, without all the noise of a regular generator. Produce up to 2350 surge watts and 1900 rated watts of power. Our 79cc 4-stroke OHV engine operates at an extremely quiet 51 decibels at quarter load, quieter than a window air conditioner or the average conversation. This limits its invasiveness while camping, hunting, tailgating, and restoring backup power. The WEN 2350W 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 39-pound design makes for easy portability while the ultra-efficient one-gallon tank provides over 7 hours of half-load run time. The fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V 14A NEMA 5-20R receptacles, one 12V 8.3A DC 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. Backed by a two-year warranty.

• Ultralight body weighs in at a mere 39 pounds for easy transport and storage

• Produces 2350 surge watts and 1900 rated watts of clean power for safe charging of sensitive electronics (phones, tablets, televisions, computers, etc.)
• Fuel shutoff maximizes the generator’s lifespan by using up the remaining fuel in the carburetor before shutting down
• Includes two three-prong 120V receptacles, one 12V DC receptacle, two 5V USB ports, and a two-year warranty

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.
