Received this generator as a gift from family. Assembled the feet and wheels in less than 15 minutes. Read the instructions. Set it up for starting by the instructions. Put oil into the crankcase slowly until it was filled to the mark. Connected the battery leads. Added gasoline to the tank. Gas valve “on”, choke “on” pushed the start button and it started running immediately.!! Choke off, and it registered 122 volts on the display. Could not have been any more simple. It starts every time with no issues at all. Love this generator.
My daughter had bought a Westinghouse generator this spring and we have been very happy with it, so I followed suit. Have not had a reason to rely on the generator yet, but the unit came as described and is easy to handle.
I just bought this and it was so simple to set up. It even comes with the oil needed to get started. So relieved to have this back up with electric start.
I was very nervous about purchasing a heavy portable generator, since I had no one who would be able to help me assemble it. It proved to be surprisingly easy! I just slit the sides of the box, removed the packing materials and wheel assembly, and then easily tipped the generator on its side to install the wheel assembly and feet. Unless you're quite frail, you'll be able to manage this, ladies! I haven't yet purchased my gas tank to fuel it and give it a trial run, but it looks like it'll be a simple matter to do so!
