Works and runs the house

After seeing that a whole house automatic generator was going to cost 15k, decided best to do a manual one for 2k out the door. Whole project was under 2k, runs the whole house and take 5 minutes olto get up and running. Great compromise for the cost conscious.
We bought one of these generators after borrowing our son's after Hurricane Helene. Between Helene and Idalia the year before, we had lost two freezers because of the generator cutting on and off. With the invertor generator, we didn't have to worry about that, plus we didn't trip over all of the power cords running from the generator to all of the things we needed to power.
Decided to upgrade to inverter type for smoother power and quieter running, installed Microair on the 5ton HVAC amd the 11000 unit runs while house fine.
Bought this generator as a backup to my house. I considered a permanent automatic solution but the cost outweighed the number of times it would be used. I have this ready to go and use the remote starter at times of need. This generator was a great purchase.
Duro max products are very good-except my new inverter has an oil fill impossible to reach if your anold guy with big hands. The company refuses to provided an engine parts diagram to see if the hose blocking the oil fill can be removed. Advise was hire a professional will not not advise on removing or showing parts???
