The Correct Way Turn OFF Generac Generator During a Storm While Running & Turn Back On. Reserve Fuel

[@kc5hgv]

It's nice with the hood open to clean out the space.

[@drozcompany4132]

It's not a bad idea to stop it every 24 hrs or so to check the oil. Sometimes these things will start to burn oil when the rings wear.

[@onesimpledad]

It's definitely worth doing, especially if the generator has been running all day. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching

Very good, thank you!

Can you upload the same video with the volume louder and no voice? I would love to hear the engine run normally. Thanks!

[@onesimpledad]

Sure thing, I will definitely add that video. Well, thanks for watching

The sound is like a lawn mower but a little less.. I have one and there is no problem at all.. mine just ran for 63 hours here in Houston after the hurricane

How come you didt buy the 500 lp tank instead because it could last longer than 100 lp tank

[@onesimpledad]

So i have two 100 lp tanks. I only use propane for generator, cooktop, BBQ grill, and fireplace. I don't use that much propane. If the power goes out, I typically have 3 days before I need a refill. I might get a bigger tank in the future. Well, Thanks for watching

[@917bso]

Yeah. BS. Just manually stop and all is good.

[@onesimpledad]

I'm just going by what is recommended. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Well, thanks for watching

[@drozcompany4132]

Right, because you know better than the engineers that designed it... ok pal

[@alistairs8495]

Better to allow the generator to run unloaded prior to shutdown in order to cool the motor and start unloaded to allow the generator to warm up.
