Great job dad teaching your son how the system works and participating in the video. Great job to you too Charlie.
Thank you for the kind comment!
Awesome Video Mike and Charlie .
Charlie , you are a lucky guy to have a Dad that is such a good teacher and includes you in hands on learning. Great job guys!!👍🏻
Thanks for the great compliment ♥
Cool thing about propane is that it doesn't really go bad. Best to keep a couple of full propane cylinders handy and fetch some fresh gas if it's going to run a while. I like premium since gasoline loses octane over time.
The more load, the more fuel you'll be going through.
Keep the generator outside and away from open windows. Carbon monoxide can creep up on you.
Man this is by far the best explained video . Made for children and me, great, thank you guys so very much, greetings from Tennessee
most welcome! Thanks for watching! :)
Right? We just went throught our first hurricane (beryl) and next purchase is a generator and I am learning about them but this helped a lot
@@jtbasic glad to help!
@@jtbasic Same here since Beyrl, got me looking into one of these!
Main is major , it on with generator back feeding it will severely hurt a lineman, the lock out is brilliant for that reason, nice video be safe
Thanks! The lockout for me was a MUST have! :)
This is generator supper strong and well built

Great video
@@GodisGreat6527 thank you!
Very cool. Yes, no power, no water from the well.
Thanks for commenting as well as the subscribe. We appreciate the support! :)
Great video! Thank you. I know very little about generators. What is the difference between peak wattage and running wattage? Thanks again.
Thanks!
When your AC or fridges cycle there is a 'surge' of energy needed at that startup. The peak wattage will be for those temporary surges.
@@midwestadventurelife I appreciate it!
@@hammysbbq Most welcome. Good luck
Great video. Do you have central AC/use it with generator?
We do, and yes it will power the AC
Where did you find that lockout for your panel?
We got it off of Amazon. Just searched for interlock, and the brand of the panel. Look closely to be sure it's the same panel, lots of different ones out there.
Did you unbound the neutral to ground on generator?
I did not make any changes to the generator.
What's the longest it will run on a full tank of gas? Some people are saying more than 12 hours
Honestly - I think that will greatly depend on what type of load you're running. It's going to be subjective.
How loud is it? I have a one car garage not attached if I let the generator run inside the garage with the window open and door open would that prevent the carbon monoxide sensor from being triggered? If I have use the generator I don’t wanna bug the neighbors lol
It's loud. My 9500df does not have the CO shutoff.
Loud is subjective. But yes, this one isn't noted for being quiet. Having said that, I'm not using it camping or in situations like that.
Always be careful running it in any closed area, I wouldn't suggest.
just got one. .. it won’t turn over - when you flip the battery switch to on, the light comes on but no reading on “hours run” or the fuel gauge even though it’s got fuel… ?
When you say it wont turn over.. Meaning it wont crank at all, or cranks but will not start?
It tried to crank but won’t start- it’s brand new- charged the battery overnight so I think it’s good. It’s got a couple gallons of fuel .. ?? are there any steps in set-up I’m missing??
@@John19182004 The 1st time you start the unit, it will crank a number of cycles to get the fuel into the system. Make sure the fuel valve on the left side is open as well.
Thx- I’ve tried 9-10 times. No dice. Tried propane- started right up! So obviously a fuel line issue; yes I’ve verified the fuel selector is on lol
and when it’s running on propane, the lights are on (hours run, etc..) but the fuel gauge on top still shows all white, empty, even though there’s a good 3 gallons in there
9500 watts equals 17 gallons of gasoline or 3 1/2 five gallon cans or five 20 lb propane tanks a day. Most people think 3 cans of gasoline or 5 bottles of propane is a lot of fuel. What would you do for day two of a power outage? I have 18,000 watts of battery back up or enough for one day but I can charge up my batteries with one of my Tri fuel small generstors in just 4 hours and just over one gallon gallon of gasoline or equivalent natural gas. And I have never been without natural gas. Next year I am installing solar to charge my batteries and save on my electric bill. This is cheap insurance that willl actuall pay for itself in 10 years.
