Customer Review: be aware of restrictions for propane
The generator is great, neat and arrived in good shape with adequate instructions. Be sure to order the wheel set as it will make it easier to move and service. It’s too heavy to schlep around by ones self.
When using propane be aware that this unit will not run off a 20 or 40 pound tank like a BBQ, Minimum tank size is 100 pound tank. If the latter is used, a pressure regulator (expensive) must be in the line. If hooked up to your own home supply of propane an additional regulator has to be installed. I recommend you specify a quick-connect whip for purposes of mobility and storage. Also, if hooked to your home supply of propane you must/should call your supplier each time you run it for any length of time so they can adjust your delivery schedule due to the increased usage. Better yet before ordering check with your supplier about codes (not all plumbers are insured for this type of hook up work) and equipment. Some are lenient others are not so much. Check if your house insurance is voided if an unauthorized tech hooks you up.
Customer Review: This is a quality product, very pleased
I purchased this generator and wheen kit from Northern a few years ago. Until all the recent hurricanes I have not had much opportunity to use it. I am 100% satisfied with this little workhorse. It has never failed to start and my wife can pull start it on the first pull.
