SETTING-UP predator 9000w generator (before you run it) harbor freight 

From a woman standpoint who's going to start this up for the first time, this was SUPER helpful and explainatory!! Thank You

Thank you for getting on point immediately and not having any minutia . I bought one. just had an electrician install an outside receptacle. Now, this will ensure I won't have a power outage the next three years, though we had three in the month I was waiting for the electrician

Just got one last week. Haven’t even opened the box yet and a snowstorm is coming this Sunday 😱. Thanks for the video! Now I know how to start it.

Very helpful video, thank you.

just got one last week and so far i love it. thanks for sharing and have a great day as well

Great Video Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for this video

Its always a good idea to break in your generator to extend the life of the generator

super helpful!!!

Good video! I also loved the chickens running away (being chicken)! Lol!

Nice Video.

EXCELLENT video! Quick and to the point! 5 stars!

Thank You

What about the ground wiring?

Did you have to change the jets for high altitude?

Thanks a lot. I bought my generator in October 2020 and only operated it once, so I'm doing it again now........Hahahaha that chicken bolted out of the door as soon as you cranked the 9000!

This isn't the proper break in. Run an hour with no load, change oil (do this twice) 3rd cycle run it between 500w-1000w for an hour and change oil. Then you're done. Watch how the oil sparkles the first few times. That's little bits of metal coming out. Hence why it's important to do a proper break in before putting it into service.

Would it be worth running 100% gas through these?

Magnetic dipstick before you even start it. It’s amazing how much metal you will not be sending through the system.

Did you have to ad fuel additive?

Here is a reminder about generator safety: this is only a reminder for everyone’s safety. This is just to make sure you are aware of all the warnings. Every year after hurricane and winter storms, there were reports on the news that many people have died each year when using generators due to carbon monoxide poisoning and electrocution during a power outage. There were reports about deaths when using generators when the power was out. There is something very serious that everyone should always be aware of when using generators. Some people do run their generator indoors which is not safe and that increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning which can cause death of family and you. Some people run their generator in wet conditions which can electrocute them. Here’s an advice about generator safety: please remember that you should never run your generator indoors. Remember that carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that you cannot see or smell. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer. Keep that in mind. Make sure your generator is 15-20 feet away from your house and away from doors, windows, and vents. Having a carbon monoxide detector is very important against generator safety. Some people also allow children to go near the portable generator which could pose risks. We need to keep an eye on our children making sure that they are not near the portable generator so they won’t get electrocuted or burned by the generator which is dangerous. A locking enclosure also keeps kids safe. A generator shed might look like a tempting place to explore, or take cover during a game of hide-and-seek, but a generator is a dangerous piece of equipment that can cause injury. It says on the manual that we should also keep children away at all times from the portable generator to avoid injuries. Generators pose electrical risks. If you need to use your generator during wet weather, you need a generator tent to protect your generator from getting wet. Don’t let your generator get wet. Keep your generator dry and before using your generator, please make sure your hands and your generator is dry. Everything that is said on the generator’s operating manual should not be ignored. Never smoke cigarettes near the generator. Please keep flammable things away from the generator. Never overload your generator too. Your generator can catch fire. Never ever try to plug a generator cord into a wall outlet to avoid back feeding. Back feeding your generator is dangerous. Always turn on your generator first before plugging in appliances and shut off the appliances before turning your generator off. Use a heavy duty cord for your generator and the cord should not be worn out. All the instructions should be followed carefully. Never refuel your generator while it’s running. It can cause fire if fuel spills while your generator is hot. You should turn off your generator and let it cool off before refueling it. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important. This is only a reminder for everyone’s safety of using generators. Make sure your generator is properly grounded. 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. Thank you. Remember not to put your children at risk too.

Right off! Tag on generator gas tank says"use 10 w 30"oil. 5 w 30 is being poured in? ha ha ha

You forgot to mention to add the fuel stabilizer

Stabilizer and Gas mixture, you did not explain this, you can not just run gas,
