Although it took some priming to start the very first time using propane once it was going everything was a-ok. Powered us through 2 remote work days without missing a beat.
Unpacked, added the accompanying oil, added gasoline...pulled the starter cord 3 times and the generator started up and ran quietly while I tested with 2 devices.
I got the unit filled it with oil and some gas. It started right up and ran fine. I'm still trying to understand the readouts on the data center screen. They are somewhat cryptic and not very intuitive.
