SURGE WATTS / RUNNING WATTS MAY BE REDUCED BY 10% WHEN USING PROPANE FUEL VS USING GASOLINE.
SURGE WATTS / RUNNING WATTS MAY BE REDUCED BY 20% WHEN USING NATURAL GAS VS USING GASOLINE
READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE USE. FOR LP, you must use the supplied LP Regulator for safe operation. FOR NG, the pressure supplied to the generator must be 4 TO 6 OUNCES or 7 TO 11 INCHES W.C. (water column). The primary regulator at the fuel supply must be capable of delivering the proper volume of fuel at this pressure. Contact your local natural gas professional for installation. Two adapters are included. One is for LPG, the other is for NG. Before using LPG or NG fuel, choose the correct adapter according to the fuel you’ve connected.

I will read the instruction manual before use. FOR LP, I must use the supplied LP Regulator for safe operation. FOR NG, the pressure supplied to the generator must be 4 TO 6 OUNCES or 7 TO 11 INCHES W.C. (water column).

* This generator features CO WARNING. It will automatically shut-off if dangerous levels of CO are detected. CO is commonly referred to as Carbon Monoxide. Large amounts of Carbon Monoxide can overcome you in minutes without warning. This can cause you to lose consciousness and suffocate. If CO detector detects increasing levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. CO detector will detect the accumulation of Carbon Monoxide from other fuel burning sources such as engine powered tools or propane heaters used in the area of operation. After a shut-off, a blinking RED light in the CO detector badge on the side of the generator provides notification that the generator was shut off due to an accumulating CO hazard. The RED light will blink for at least five minutes after a CO shut-off.

Choosing a portable power generator for power outages involves considering various factors to ensure it meets your specific needs. I am providing a few key considerations:

1. Power Requirements:
   • First, I determine the essential appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. Next, I will calculate the total wattage needed to run these items simultaneously. This helps me choose a generator with an adequate power capacity. In this case, I use a Wattage Guide to help me figure out the math!
2. Generator Type:
   • Portable generators come in different types, including inverter generators and conventional generators. I know inverter generators provide clean and stable power, making them suitable for sensitive electronics. Conventional generators are generally more affordable but may produce less stable power.
3. Fuel Type:
   • Portable generators can run on various fuels, such as gasoline, propane, or both. With this in mind, I consider the availability and convenience of the fuel type in my area. By the way, gasoline is the most common, but it has a shorter shelf life than propane.
4. Run Time:
   • I check the generator’s run time on a single tank of fuel. This is crucial for extended power outages. Generators with a longer run time require less frequent refueling.
5. Portability and Size:
   • Consider the portability of the generator. I will look for features like wheels and handles for easy transportation. What’s more, smaller and lighter generators are more convenient for home use.
6. Noise Level:
   • Generators can be noisy, so I consider the noise level produced by the generator. For example, I look for models with lower decibel ratings because I live in a residential area.
7. Start Mechanism:
   • Generators can have manual recoil start or electric start mechanisms. Electric start generators are easier to start, but may require a battery, which needs periodic maintenance. In every situation, I choose a start mechanism that suits my needs.
8. Ease of Maintenance:
   • Consider the maintenance requirements of the generator. For example, I look for models with easy access to filters and oil changes. Under these circumstances, regular maintenance is essential for the generator’s longevity.
9. Safety Features:
   • In addition, I always check for safety features such as overload protection, low-oil shutoff, and GFCI outlets. These features help protect both the generator and connected devices.
10. Budget:
    • Finally, I recommend setting a budget for your generator purchase. Prices can vary based on features and capacity. For this reason, I suggest balancing your “requirements” with your “budget” to find the best generator for your needs.
