Don't Buy a Backup Generator Until You Watch This! 

Thanks! That’s great to hear. Glad to know they hold up so well.

What about the 20 hour oil change interval. That has me concerned...

@@thelastosirus I did not change the oil after 20 hours, It was probably closer to 40 or 50. And my buddy checked it every time he filled it With gas. Every 20 hours of use is not really a realistic number for me and my warranty has been expired for five years now. The next oil change I do, I will be switching over to 5W30 synthetic oil.

@@BBQMike7108 Thanks for the answer. I am building a gen shed and once it's complete, I will run it for 24H, change oil and then run it for another 24H and then send the oil to Blackstone. I need to have 100% faith it won't break down since outages can last a week or more after a storm around here. I had my HF Predator 3500 running for 5 days rock solid for Zeta. Only used 12 gallons of gas also but of course that was in 50 degree weather so no need for the A/C. The Duromax will be hooked up to my installed NG line quick connect so besides checking the oil aging properties, I need to see if my "standard" gas meter can handle a gen & hot water heater & stove/oven, or what combination thereof. A high flow meter is free but $200 for the permit & $50 for my plumber to file it. We will see but have to be ready for next storm season.

@@thelastosirus Don’t forget to follow the generator safety rules whenever you use your portable generator. This is a very important announcement to everyone. This is very important to see this information just for a reminder. Generators can be dangerous if not used carefully. ⚠️Here are the safety rules: 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. Be aware of all the hazards. 2) WHERE TO RUN YOUR GENERATOR: Some people use their portable generators indoors which increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have a carbon monoxide if you have a gas generator. Never ever use your generator indoors even if your doors and windows are open and even in the garage is not safe to use a portable generator. Not even at your porch and your deck. It is never safe to use your generator indoors and in enclosed areas of your home. Your generator needs to be 15-20 feet away from your house. 3)🔥FIRE HAZARDS: Never refuel your generator while it’s running. You need to let your generator cool off before refueling it and before storing your generator. Never overload your generator too. Never ever back feed your generator. 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. Hope this helps. Remember, safety first!

@ Jashub Israel I too love that they honor and venerate their parents in obedience to God's commands: Exodus 20:12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you." Ephesians 6:2-3 “Honor your father and mother" which is the first commandment with a promise, so that it may go well with you, and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

What brand and size is your generator?

Thanks so much! Thanks for the info as well.

Yeah that’s what I found out as well. The installation cost is ridiculous.

He said in another comment that this line was connected to a buried propane tank under the house. I was wondering about that too. Having to refill propane tanks if you don’t have a bulk tank would be even harder than just getting gasoline for it. I guess you could swap them out like you do with the grill tanks but that would get expensive. I’d rather have one that can just run off the natural gas line coming off the house. I wonder how much that would cost per hour of run time?

Just purchased this generator and had the electricians install the extra hardware to hardwire into the main power supply. I'm as ready as I possibly can be for the next SHTF moment, and honestly, that's the reason for all the extra expenses over the past two years, especially since our gooberment and others can control the weather, along with all the geopolitical crap that is used against WE THE PEOPLE. Lord, do I miss President TRUMP!! #FJB and all GLOBALISTS trying to ruin and kill us!! Step on the neck of the serpent, Lord Jesus 🙏, and DESTROY ALL ENEMIES in the spiritual and physical realms, in JESUS NAME, AMEN!! WAKE UP, HUMANITY! ARE YOU TIRED OF BEING LIED TO AND BEING USED LIKE SLAVES, YET? WHERE'S DR DEATH FRAUDCI?? TO GITMO WITH HIM!!

Wait, during an outage you can tell who has a generator by their lights being on? What's the passing score to be a lineman again? 😆

Get off your asses and fix people's shit then it wouldn't bug you so much

Because they want everyone to know they're the only ones with power.

We see it often here in “hurricane alley.”

My neighbors after Hurricane Andrew in Miami in 92 did exactly this. All of their lights on, and the next day he and his wife were going on about being prepared because they purchased a turn key Honda 7000i before the storm. Their backyard faced a major street, during the night someone turned on a cheap lawnmower and placed it next to their generator and wheeled it into their truck. The husband says the next day he came to check the cable connections to the generator and found the lawnmower. OP-SEC is crucial in a grid down situation.

😁 Thanks for watching!

i agree $100.00 bucks and takes minutes to install

I made a “dog bone” with 2 female plugs so no exposed prongs.

Not having a main breaker interlock device installed is illegal in Florida, and your generator backup system will fail inspection. I would imagine if a lineman were injured or killed while running an illegal system, you are liable and could be sued.

@@freed6343 I agree. Having worked with lineman doing storm work, they all assume that someone has a generator running somewhere and they take the appropriate actions in terms of being safe.

BARE minimum, put tape over the breaker in OFF & PUT LOCK on the cover so only YOU can restore Line connection once your Gen is offline. BETTER would be a Manual 6 or 8 circuit GenTran Switch with line meters so you can select circuits & monitor load on each half of Generator.

Spoke to someone up north who said their family was evacuating and all the rest areas along 95 became campsites. Seems too much can go wrong in an evacuation, I will probably stay put...

This is very important to see this information just for a reminder. Generators can be dangerous if not used carefully. ⚠️Here are the safety rules: 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. Be aware of all the hazards. 2) WHERE TO RUN YOUR GENERATOR: Some people use their portable generators indoors which increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have a carbon monoxide if you have a gas generator. Never ever use your generator indoors even if your doors and windows are open and even in the garage is not safe to use a portable generator. Not even at your porch and your deck. It is never safe to use your generator indoors and in enclosed areas of your home. Your generator needs to be 15-20 feet away from your house. 3)🔥FIRE HAZARDS: Never refuel your generator while it’s running. You need to let your generator cool off before refueling it and before storing your generator. Never overload your generator too. Never ever back feed your generator. 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.

Remember safety first

here i am a year later and they now have a tri fuel generator that supports natural gas but 1. you need to be a ng consultant to mess with any of that because idk about y’all but i’m NEVER using quick disconnects with ng😭 that’s how you go boom

Startup is easy. The biggest issue is that this type of generator requires fairly frequent oil changes although that isn’t that difficult.

Janet, The start up is as easy as any other small engine (think riding lawn mower). Fuel on, choke, start (push-button or pull cord), then choke off. The maintenance is more frequent than a riding mower, but not over the top crazy. Keep the battery charged by starting it once a month, change the oil after the break-in period, and every 10-15 hours of running time (or yearly) afterwards. Not a big deal at all!!

Good to know.

Thanks! The battery was dead when I connected it and I had not let it run long enough to charge it yet.

Get rid of that stupid rollover check valve at the top of the gasoline tank. As fuel gets low, the metal gasoline tank increases in temperature. Thus, when the generator is shut down to refuel or just shut off or runs out of gasoline, gasoline begins to boil at approximately 125*F. The temperature will rise extremely quick. This will cause vapor pressure in the tank and the rollover check valve will be forced up and close off the tanks ability to vent the vapor pressure to the hose leading to the carburetor. When one tries to open the gas cap, high pressure gasoline vapor with gasoline will start blowing out. Very Dangerous and it was a stupid idea for the mfg to install this. Probably a Gooberment Requirement

Thanks!

I did the break-in/ oil change procedure in my new Champion gen. There was a LOT of visible metal particles in the oil. Put in the oil, ran for 30 min. Changed the oil, ran for 2 hrs. Changed the oil and called it good. I’ve run the generator for 24 hours during an outage after Hurricane Ian came through N.C. I’ll change the oil again at 50 hrs then follow the manufacturer’s maintainance schedule. Very glad I did it, cheap insurance.

I have the same one as well, and I connected a 10 AWG green wire to the ground rod next to my garage. But, I've asked this question on another video, and the response I got was the grounding is done as part of the 50A cable, which has 2 hot wires, and neutral, and a ground, that we're connecting to the house. So, a separate grounding is only needed on a job site, and you're just connecting a power tool, air compressor, etc to it. Having said that, since I already have access to a ground rod, I will continue to use it.

@@porschenut5610 not a great idea to run two separate grounds. There is always the potential to have a circuit through the ground from one ground to the next if you have something go to ground. Not very likely but why chance it’s.

Since we are using extension cords, we're using a 6 foot copper ground rod. Stay safe.

@@HAXMAN I ordered the gas only 13,000 unit

@@farmall1farmall132 I think it's a great deal.

Going to order one when I get my tax return before Texas summer arrives.

@@op8995 nice my friend is in Texas with no power for days.

Thanks so much! I haven't noticed any issues. I actually don't know of that actually happening to anyone. It seems to just be a slim possibility that rarely happens. There are no inverter generators that are really big enough to power a whole home including air conditioning. Honda makes one that's big enough to power a small air conditioner unit and maybe some appliances. As long as you have electronics on a surge protector you should have no problems. It's more of a risk versus reward proposition. $1,400 generator and don't use unnecessary electronics or $14,000 generator and no issues. There are other things you can do as well such as installing a surge arrestor to prevent surges. Thanks again!

Some of your electronics can get fried if using a generator with high total harmonic distortion. Look for this value to be

For high value electronics, get an APC Back-UPS which includes AVR (auto voltage regulation), you won't be worried about battery size as much, because of the generator. This also gives the added benefit of keeping things running briefly while you go flip breakers and crank the generator.

@@HAXMAN Surge protection has nothing to do with clean, sine wave, 60Hz power.

It's more of a myth, yes generators produce noisy power, but most modern appliances have switching power supplies, which filter incoming power and convert it to DC, then to high frequency AC, then again into DC. All this converting makes appliances immune to noisy power, and even to different voltage and frequency, you can see it on many PSU labels that they take 100-240V and 50-60 Hz ( and actually they can take even wider range)

Looks like a mix between Russel Crowe and Chris Pratt.

Exactly - he's saying it's a transfer switch and all it is, is a plug directly into the panel, so you have to know to shut off the main breaker before turning on the generator so you don't fry a lineman working on downed power lines. :(

@@timm439 my current home and previous home here in central Florida were all installed the exact same way. I didn’t have them installed but were already installed previous to me living there. Neither had the metal bar installed to prevent back feed so you have to be extra careful and shut off the main yourself.
