How to set up and use the FIRMAN 9400 Duel Fuel Generator 

Glad I could help! Good luck I hope you fare well from this hurricane it’s a bad one for sure. Thank you for watching.

Same thing friend. God bless from Hendersonville NC

@@TomLeeman We got power after 8-9 days! This generator was great with no issues! Once again, thank you!

We only use this for the refrigeration or refrigerators, and some lights

Glad I could help and stay safe thanks for watching

You are welcome. Enjoy your generator.

You are welcome!

Yeah if you have it on an incline and the gas is leaning to the one side of the tank it won’t fill the reservoir and you end up not being able to start it but if you use the propane you won’t have that problem because it will be for standby pressure good luck enjoy your generator hopefully we don’t have to use them this year thanks for watching

Thanks I’m just hoping that I don’t have to use it this year I cross fingers

@@TomLeeman you’re all set if you do need it. 😃

excellent good luck stay warm

Good idea thanks for watching

Good luck 👍 with new generator

Charge the battery and re connect it or purchase another if that one is dead good luck thanks for watching

I would just let it run out. I would keep it running until the gas was burned out of the tank.

Thanks and thanks for watching

You're very welcome!

I usually let it run out or burn the gas off I have not tried the propane yet but when I do I will make a video for you thanks for watching

It sounds like you may have a fuel line problem

Excellent tips and notes thanks for watching

Bam thanks

We bought this for the hurricanes in Florida but have not really had one since we purchased it so I’m not sure how long a full tank will last but I would imagine it would be a number of hours good luck thanks for watching

You bet

I just bought a inexpensive battery charger off of Amazon and use that just hook the battery up to it overnight and let it charge then you should be good to go

I would recommend taking it back to wherever you bought it from and exchanging it for a new one or a different model thanks for watching

Check the circuit breaker buttons near the outlet

Yes make sure battery is charged

Welcome

Thanks for watching

so far so good

Well, this is the end of my Generator :( I was using it to run a little 5k watt garage heater here in Colorado which was probably about 70-100 hours worth of use and then a couple days after that we lost power and it was -19 degrees outside so I was starting it up to plug into the house to have power and it ran for 5-10 minutes before it stopped and seized up and the pull start wouldn't move it and the electric starter wouldn't either so I was pretty sure that was gonna be the last of my generator lol. So fast forward a week later today I decided I would see if I could get it to run again I changed out the oil which it was pretty low on oil not to get too technical but I took out about a dixie plate from Costco worth of oil. I know, my measurements are extremely scientific. Anyway, put new oil in it start it up using my drill hooked straight to the crank shaft where the pull start hooks up to because it was seized, got it to fire up pretty quickly surprisingly and then it ran for about a minute and blew a hole through the cast crank housing thing. So uhm, she doesn't run anymore lol :( I changed the oil last time I went camping over Labor Day weekend last year in 2020 and I never noticed any leaking and I didn't use it much then maybe 30-40 hours because I stayed out for a week so between then and now it was burning oil for some reason I don't think it was leaking because I never noticed any puddles under it. So I would definitely recommend for people to check your oil every time you start it especially if you start climbing in hours like mine was. Anyway though, I think I got a lot of use out of it and I've pushed through some crappy conditions always changing oil in parking lots or dirt fields dust snow rain cold hot one time I had it halfway under my camper during an ice storm / snow storm in Montana and the water would melt off of my camper and then freeze all over the generator and got into the pull start area and froze all of that up I had to take my blow torch to it and start melting everything off before work one morning just trying to get it to turn over and finally did. I was using a hammer to bust the ice off of the top to get the fuel cap off lol. And then it ran like that all day until I got back from work. So I wasn't babying this thing it rode around in my camper where ever I went or in the truck I always used Amsoil and I always tried changing the oil between 100-150 hours maybe once or twice I got closer to 200 but who knows if that would have made a difference. So all said and done it cost roughly $0.33 every 1 hour of run time plus fuel and oil which I think is a good return. Compare that to Honda's 4500 running watt generator which is smaller than my Firman at $2,500 dollars to get the same $0.33 an hour return, you'd have to run that Honda for 7,575 hours which maybe it'd do it I don't know, but you're also out $2,500+ just to find out. Most people won't even use their generator 1,500 hours before it just gets so old you want a new one anyway. That's 100 hours a year for 15 years. I'm probably gonna go back to Costco and buy the newer Firman TriFuel generator they have out just because this one I feel like did me a real solid job and who knows maybe I got a dud you might get 3k+ hours.

Good tip thanks

Good tip

@@TomLeeman please remember not to run your generator indoors. Everyone really needs to watch this video about generator safety tips ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I1jT3ANENvI.html I’m just trying to be nice. Thank you. Hope everybody agrees with this video I’m sharing. I’m not trying to force you to either. This is just a very important advice.

Yup

Bam! thanks for watching

Thanks for watching

Thanks for the tips and info as Hurricane season is almost here And thanks for watching

@@TomLeeman YOU'RE WELCOME , GREAT VIDEO BTW.

Actually there is no break in period. Firman states that after 25-hours of usage, oil needs to be changed initially. Thereafter required oil change after each 100- hours. I just picked up the T07573 from Costco in anticipation of mandatory power shutdown during extreme prevailing weather conditions (high winds, red flag warning/dry conditions).

@@Kekaula100 OH OKAY GREAT .

Excellent notes thanks appreciate it and thanks for watching
