Instructions and set up to use easy to follow. We are ready if powe goes out.
the only negative is that the front "feet" are supposed to bolt to the generator frame with 2 bolts, but the frame only had one hole w a weld utility. Somehow missed the second hole and weld it. Minor issue though
Generator was easy to set up right out of the box. Even though it is heavy, it is easy to move around. Should be perfect when not so perfect weather takes out the power!
Bought this generator and followed directions and it started right up: did find one documentation error where it didn’t tell you to open the gas line but knew to do that:
After the Texas power grid failure, I knew I needed backup power in the event the grid fails again. I ordered the 9500 DF after reading many reviews online. This generator has all the bells and whistles from a remote start, to a low oil level shut off. I am very happy with my purchase, and I feel relieved that we won’t go days without power ever again.
I was excited to get this generator but there are things to do before it can be used. The first step in the instructions, install the feet. Sounds easy enough. After trying, by hand, for quite some time, and not being able to get any bolt started in any nut (nuts are welded to the frame), I get out my magnifying glass and notice there are burrs in the nuts down by the welds. They are on all the nuts. I’ve opened a case with Westinghouse. So far, not so good when it comes to quality control.
