Minimal assembly required. I added the oil, some gas, and it fired right up first push of the START button. I am surprised at all the features of this model for the price, for example: remote start and CO detector/shut off. It is well designed and well made. It runs with less vibration and is a bit quieter than I expected.
After the break-in period, the battery cables fell apart. Hopefully, they will just send me a replacement.

This unit so far has exceeded my expectations. Used break-in procedure as required, then tested all circuits. Utilized all receptacles without any faults after 5 hours of running. Great unit.
