Very helpful for this newbie owner. Thank you and God bless.

This is great! Last October, we had a Generac 14kw installed at our cottage in northern Michigan. The operation of this generator is reporting back to us via WiFi and we are not there this winter to look in on it, but it is keeping the cottage powered when we loose power so frequently. It is important for us to be able to understand how the generator works and what we can do to maintain it. Thanks for all your home standby generator videos.

Wonderful video Rick. It’s a good thing for homeowners to know how to do basic maintenance on everything. Good explanations of what your were doing and why👍
-
First let me say you’re great. Love watching your videos, learn so much from you and have the utmost respect for you. Not sure if I would have even touched that generator because it’s a liability issue. Windows are way to close to the generator. Generac recommends 5’ from any window, door or air intake and 3’ working clearance on sides and front.

Great video for home owner level maintenance. I just bought a 7.5 Kw unit and the motor looks to be half of the two cylinder model and the crank rides on roller bearings not like bushings that a lot of motors have gone to, The form a funnel will be a good thing to have.

Thank you for the maintenance review and tips. My 2003 unit is in Northern Michigan. From previous videos U have given me a very clear understanding how these things operate and their issues. I do all my maintenance myself since I’m a very remote farm. For survival I have to be self reliant and I’m well trained technician and engineer. Fortunately, I don’t have any critical loads (home is super insulated) that need to be attended too so I will operate the generator manually (once a day) for larger loads, and to charge a battery with inverter used for light loads during an outage. Plan to add a solar system in the future. Looks like at the end of the video U may have left the quart oil bottle in the generator compartment since you’re working with the camera. Great explanation of all the details involved with important safety notifications.

Great job. Everyone can tell your not a half ass tech very thorough on you job. This hvacr industry needs more folks like you.
-
Rick, Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us as dumb owners don’t know what to do ! Keep up the amazing work !
-
I have an older generac generator and it is so hard to find good qualified repair techs. Just found your channel and lots of great info. Not sure if you noticed but you left the empty oil container in the generator.
-
It really helps to have it hot with the air filter it softens up those back clips especially in cold weather less chance of it breaking do to brittleness good video
-
Great video!!! Very helpful. BTW I think you left the oil container inside the generator. Hope no damage done.

A 2 zylinder 1 Liter combustion engine is not a hack and made simple and cheap. Nice Video.
