Initial impressions and set up
on November 16, 2022
Posted by: Springy
from MA
I purchased the WGen9500DF at the beginning of September, the package arrived undamaged and complete. The generator looks great. Assembly was straight forward. The problems I have read that other people had just needed a little forethought to avoid. The one thing I do agree with others on is that the oil supplied with the product is not enough. I had to add more to bring the oil level up to between the marks on the dipstick.
The generator fired up first time, performed changeover from one fuel to another without issue. After a few minutes it settled down to 242 V at 61.9 Hz. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet this generator is. I followed the run in process over a period of days without any issues. One thing that I noticed on other reviews was people commenting on having 50 Amps available, this is not quite true, the main CB is rated for 38 Amps, the 50 Amps might be starting value.
I have not had to use it in a power outage but as mentioned before there have been no issues during the run in period.
