Cold start: Predator 8,750 Generator

[@manuelsalgado8510]

Non ethanol is better than regular gas? Recommended by Harbor freight?

[@Powertool1990]

Non ethanol fuel will last much longer than regular gas when stored in your equipment. Fuel that contains ethanol is hard on small engines with carburetors. I literally just cleaned my neighbors generator carburetor, the fuel had a gel consistency in the carburetor from sitting a year or 2.

Repairs & Reviews thanks for the reply man. Can I ask one more question, the gas turn off/on switch it’s on when up and down right? I think mine says on when laying flat? Are there 2 versions of this generators? Thanks again sr.

All generator safety rules need to be followed carefully Generator safety tips: 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.

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2LNhWZ3g6qBrKs and here is a video more about keeping others safe when using generators.

How many gallons does it hold?

Where did you store it??

[@wildpepper16]

Ethanol free fuel is they key. I use it on everything but our vehicles. Get it from the pump, & forget about true fuel, etc.

Cold start my azz. Let see you do a real "cold start" when it's 25 degrees outside. These Predator's suck in the cold, which is when you're likely going to need it... Ask me how I know
