Always best to 'run in' a new generator using a variable light load...... Usually a 10 second timer with 1000 watt load will do the trick :) I use a simple halogen flood light.
how much have you been using this generator? I bought one as a backup for the house last year and havent had to use it at all luckily. seems to be well built enough. I am considering getting a 2nd one and a parallel kit to have 14000w on tap if needed, plus having redundancy if one were to fail, or being able to lend one out etc. 1700 But I havent actually used it in any kind of extended period yet not sure if its worth spending another 1700 haha
@@hoody2141 well, of course it is about personal preference but the way we figured was we were only using the generator sporadically. If we had planned on using it full-time, then we probably would have invested in the mall extra warranties.
