I received this generator just last week and just in time for a several-hour power outage. When my power went out yesterday afternoon, my new generator was still sitting in my garage unopened. I opened the box only to discover that there was not a manual or any paperwork whatsoever inside. It wasn't too difficult to figure out however. There are two wheels and two rubber feet that need attached to the bottom and a handle that needs attached to the side. That was all of the assembly that was required. I filled it up with 10W-30 oil and then put in the gasoline. It started up pretty easily. (After I figured out which way the choke was supposed to go!) I let the engine stabilize and then plugged in a lamp to make sure that everything was working OK. After a brief moment where my heart sank when the light didn't come on, I realized that the GFCI breakers come tripped. I reset them and viola - light!
I connected a 2200sf pellet stove, two lamps, and my refrigerator/freezer to the generator. Of course, when I plugged in the fridge, it stuttered briefly, but it got back on track very quickly.
I'm pretty impressed with it so far!
Update following Northeast Dec 2008 ice storm... (just two weeks AFTER the previous post)
My power was out for four days. This generator got almost EIGHTY hours of run time. I changed the oil once for good measure but it kept the house warm and the lights on!Get more detail about ETQ TG32P12 4000 Watt 7 HP 207cc 4-Cycle OHV Gas Powered Portable Generator (Non-CARB Compliant).
