FIRMAN Portable Generator: Home Backup Power - Is it Up to the Challenge? 

*Great **Generater.Systems** . Pretty quiet compared to other in this size. Runs my AC in our camper, but have to take generator off of economy mode to do so!! Great buy. Would recommend!!! Champion 2500*

FYI: @6:27 If you are going to store gen. You should turn the dial to like 1pm so to turn gasoline flow off the dial and the carb float bowl will fully drain out it gen stops. then turn to 12 am/'pm off.

According to the label on the side of the gas tank (and the wiring diagram), the max amperage at 240 volts is 31.1 amps for gasoline. That would be on the 50 amp 240V outlet. If you don't care about the 1.1 amps, you can use the 30 amp outlet, cable and circuit breaker.

We have used the ru-vid.comUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

As long as the noise is not an issue, it will be fine. I have one that runs the whole house however, my yard is small and and being so close to the house, I cannot use it at night. For night time I use a Honda EU7000is, only 52db.

Thanks for the information.

Where did you get 50a cable? You should post links if possible.

⚠️Rules about generator safety: Please don’t forget to follow the generator safety tips when you use your portable generator. This is just a reminder to make sure. All generator safety rules need to be followed carefully whenever you use your portable generator. 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 detector 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. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I1jT3ANENvI.html and here is a video more about keeping others safe when using generators Hope this helps

I have the exact generator. I really haven't got too use it in an emergency yet. Had it for 5 yrs. Every month I get it out and run it for about 30 minutes on a med load. Fires up every time. I just use propane i haven't put any gasoline in it yet.

That's the lockout I need, but I can't find it. Could you put in a link?

1. I like your set up! 2. The camera work appears to be a Dramamine Motion Sickness Medicine ad. 3. It's ironic that your channel name is "Walk Steady" -- maybe that choice was intentional. 4. I'm not "hating on you" -- just having fun saying the camera movement leaves room for improvement. 5. Thanks for posting!

I'm interested in getting one of these but would like to know if it can power the fridge and hot water heater and a few lights?

Awesome

Could you have turned on the entire breaker box if you wanted to with a generator that size?

Is there a specific way to turn dial to the gas position mine only switched to the LPG position. Any help would be appreciated

Can you let me know what cord and inlet box you got please

What's the names of the lightest and the most quietest 4,000w gas generators with electric start and or remote start that can use gas or propane ?

It's loud. I'm sure it would bother my neighbors. Uhhh do they make any quiet ones with a lot of watts?

Mine starting shaking uncontrollably never done that about 3 months old. Will start for a sec and shut down. Anyone have solutions will drain gas and put new one. After that not sure.

I wonder what it cost to have that generator plug wired up to your panel?

Did you convert your generator to floating neutral?

How much was the electricians charge?

Was it able to lift a 4 ton ac and all electrical?

What is the model of that generator? I need one for my fifth wheel

What did it cost to get an electrician to hook up the box to your panel?

Is the power inlet 30 amp 3 prong twist lock or 50 amp 4 prong twist lock I want to get this exact set up

I read people complain about the loud noise this unit makes. My main concern more than the noise is dirty power it apparently provides. At 11%-14% THD, I'm concerned electronics will get damaged.

you move the camera too much

Did you have to change the ground on the generator at all

Can't really see anything, not a good video when you use your cell phone and such little angle try again

Don’t buy biggest piece of crap I ever bought

You'd think you would test the AC? Wow, piss poor review.

Yea I need to get one of these. I am on an oxygen concentrator machine so I can breathe. When the power goes off I have to go to the hospital to breathe ok. It sucks but I got poisoned and it ruined my lungs. One of these would be a life saver. Can someone please explain how I can start a go fund me account. I have no idea how to get one started.
