Just put together today. Would not start until I manually set the choke to cold start. Then no power to 120v outlets. It was the GFI buttons. Looked through the manual and I did not see any mention of it. Wish manual was clearer. All good now.
Comes with everything you need to get going ! ( Oil , Funnel, wrenches, battery charger, propane hose ) cranked right up first try & runs great. Having 50/30/20 amp outlets means this thing can do whatever you throw at it ! No regrets with my purchase , you won't either.. stop looking & add to your cart !
We purchased this model generator to use as a stand by power source for our home. It runs everything in our home with ease. We have gas appliances. The 9500 DF runs furnace, lights, freezers and refrigerators along with bathroom and ceiling fans. The only thing that makes it flinch is the central air but the AC is not a priority to us. Westinghouse was not even on my radar for a portable generator until I researched deeper. Westinghouse has good reviews, longevity, and competitive prices. The generator runs very well and we are at 5600 feet elevation. The way I understand it, at 3.5% derate per 1000 feet of elevation above sea level the 9500 Watt rated generator is producing an actual Watt rating around 7638 Watts. Even at less than optimal output we can run our home on gas or propane.
Bought it for last hurricane season and hope I never have to use it. Filled the crank case with supplied amount of oil. As of yet to start unit. Depending on Westinghouse name to start when needed, hopefully never.!
