Started up the first time using the push button start. I am using gasoline as the fuel and I'm receiving the full 9500 watt output. The pull start as a battery backup is an added plus. The unit is lighter and easier to use as compared to my old Troybuilt 7800.
Very Satisfied with my purchase. The unit is well built, has excellent features, and it is easy to assemble. Best value for price for a DF generator in this power range.
Received it in a box. It required a few things to be installed, wheels and feet but the battery connection was already made and required 2 fittings pushed together to make the connection. I put in the supplied oil and connected the propane tank and followed directions. Pushed the start button on the remote and it it tried to start 4 times and kicked off and ran clean. It is a solid looking machine. The only weird thing was I thought they didn't include the remote because it wasn't in a parts bag but it was hooked on the pull starter.
