remote control
on March 22, 2019
Posted by: butchman
very hard to get to the drain plug. the door cover to the oil is to small. make it bigger to access the drain plug. there is no diagram or mention of drain plug in the owners manual . love the remote control. reason why I bought this gen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi butchman,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. You may refer to page 16 in your Owner's Manual to read more about adding/changing your engine oil with access to the oil drain plug. Figure 12 will show you a diagram of the oil drain bolt and rubber oil plug. Hopefully that has helpful for you!
Otherwise, we're glad to hear you're enjoying the remote start on the iGen4500. Have a great day!

Out of the box, this is a very well package product. Very good documentation and product appears very well designed. Don't have any run time yet but I look forward to many years of backup power for my home and RV.

Great for RV use - quiet - remote start!

I need to power a 28' RV for both AC use in Summer and Winter and run the generator all night for my astronomy imaging equipment. I shopped around and listened to various generators and settled on this iGen4500 due to three key features:
1. had to be under 55 dB at 25% load (this unit measured 54 at 25 ')
2. Had to have a remote start (check!)
3. Had to have at least the three year warranty (check!)
1. had to be under 55 dB at 25% load (this unit measured 54 at 25 ')
2. Had to have a remote start (check!)

Bought the unit from Lowes on Jan 22 and picked it up on a Wednesday and loaded up for Florida Keys on Friday. Monday, after reaching Scout Key for the annual Winter Star Party, I added oil and fuel then fired up the iGen4500. The remote worked flawlessly and my genny was the quietest one in it's size class. I built a simply old-style 'tent' over the unit in case of rain and directed the exhaust towards US 1 (always busy 24/7). About 400 astroimagers on the Key and maybe 30 came by to check out my iGen4500. Everyone was impressed and we took dB readings at 20, 35 and 50'. At 50' it was about 52 dB and after some simple noise baffling using the cardboard box and a piece of plywood you cut down the rumble even more! I changed the oil at 19 hrs and though a bit tricky to do without spilling any oil, it wasn't too challenging. Unit ran flawlessly rest of the week. I'll be using it at other dry campling (no power/water/sewer) events throughout 2019 and look forward to enjoying this genny!!
