User questions & answers

Question:	If ran through either a 120v plug or a 30 amp adapter plug to 1 outlet in the house, is there a limit on how much you can power from one outlet
Answer:	definately restricted by the particular wiring in your home to that outlet 15 or 20 amp MAX. Unless your an electircian and know what, when , how, and why, you should not even be thinking about doing this ,and if your were, you would already know what your limits are and if you can do it. SO NO, dont do it!!!
Question:	How much oil shoud I put in it. I received the unit but no documentations on the first time oil fill up. Thanks to any and everyone
Answer:	20oz. This is in the supplied manual. Recommended oil is 10W30 for most climates.
Question:	What is the decibel level of this generator? I can't find it listed. Thanks
Answer:	69-decibels. generatorfactoryoutlet-dot-com. About like your typical lawn mower.When you have no commercial electricity, it will be the sweetest sound ever.
Question:	Is this big enough to power a small house in an outage of several days to a week (I know nothing about electricity and generators). Thanks
Answer:	It cannot run your entire house. We typically run a full-size freezer, refrigerator, several lights, and our internet router. I have run this generator for up to 48 hours, but most of our outages are in the 8-12 hour duration. I run this unit 2-3 times per year. I run drop cords from the unit to my critical stuff. It starts easily, and runs 8+ hours on a tank of gas under our load. When the power goes out, it takes me about 10 minutes to roll it out, start it, and get everything plugged in. It has never let me down, would definitely purchase again.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this generator be hooked up to a larger (100+ gallon) propane tank, with some type of adapter
Answer:	You need a POL to QCC1 adapter like this or similar. ( SHINESTAR Propane Tank Gauge and Hoses https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0ILKIJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dmVNBbFV8KWDT) Just bought one of these generators for my in laws and a new 100# tank right before hurricane Florence.
Question:	Can I run a fridge and a freezer
Answer:	Definitely. I ran my furnace, fridge, heater for the fish tank, a bunch of lights and phone chargers. Just remember to start the generator first, let it warm up some, pull one thing it at a time and you'll be fine.
Question:	What is the decibel noise rating
Answer:	Remember folks that this is a air cooled engine which are notoriously noisy engines by design. The engine does have a large muffler which helps a lot with exhaust noise but this generator has a open cabinet and doesn’t have an enclosed cabinet so all the machinery noise from the engine and generator goes everywhere. Noise is relative to different people. If a rattling noise is what bothers you but low sounds don’t bother you, you might consider a more expensive model that is enclosed. If rattles don’t bother you but low sounds do, then this is a good product for you. Personaly I knew what I was buying. An open generator that is going to make some sort of racket so I made a very nice enclosure and mine produces 65db at 5 feet. All generators of this price that are air cooled and not enclosed make a lot of noise. It’s more of a matter of what you or your neighbors can tolerate.
Question:	if battery goes dead can it be started manually
Answer:	yes, but only if using propane as a fuel source. if using gasoline then the recoil start won't work without a charged battery attached. I have tried it, and Champion customer service confirmed this.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the air filter compatible with a GP7500E

Question:	Will this fit XP6500e
Answer:	I don't use mine alot, I haven't had to look for any. Sorry. I would check the website. Remingtonpowertools.com
Question:	Will this work with my GP5500. Model number
Answer:	MTD Products is an American manufacturer of outdoor power equipment for the mass market. Headquartered in Valley City, Ohio, ... Over the years, MTD acquired the Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Cub Cadet, Remington and Yard-Man ... Products: Consumer and Commercial Lawn equipment Revenue: $1.961 billion USD (2015) Headquarters: Valley City, OH, USA Number of employees: 6,800 (as of 2006)
Question:	Will this work for RS7000E
Answer:	I don't agree with the first two comments. The grass catcher works pretty well. I estimate that 80% of the clippings go into the basket and the remainder end up on the lawn. The capacity is rather small, so you have to empty it frequently. Rather than disconnect the entire grass catcher, I position a plastic tub on the lawn and pull out three or four double handfuls of grass as the bag fills. Quick and easy. The clippings go into the compost bin. The attachment of the grass catcher by the two metal hooks at the lower front end could be a bit more secure. If you bump a curb or hump in the grass, one side may pop off. Tightening the mounting strap a little more than you'd think necessary helps. I'll rig up a clip or additional strap of some kind if that becomes too big a hassle.Update: I used a pair of channel locks to slightly close the opening on the hanger clips and the bag is much more stable. No more problem with it detaching when I bump something or run over a high spot.

Question:	Has anyone used this generator to power "sensitive equipment" like computers, TV's ect. Thanks Rob
Answer:	Hello Rob; I have used it on my Tv but not my computer. No particular reason. I would use a good powerstrip with a breaker but it would be best to check with a person who has the credentials before I used it on my computer. Somebody at Best Buy for example that is a member of their Geek Squad. Personally, if it were me ,I would do it because I have a 60.00 Powerstrip.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use the pull start because it looks like the metal panel is in the way according to the picture
Answer:	The design is not optimal. The panel is in the way to pull the cord straight out. You pull it at a 90 degree angle, outward toward the handles. Mine starts pretty easily, usually one pull and it's not a hard pull. The cord housing is rounded, so the cord won't fray when pulled at 90 degrees.
Question:	What is the noise level
Answer:	To me, the noise seems low/reasonable. It has a large automotive style muffler (not a small lawn mower type). The generator mechanism itself also makes some noise, but not too loud. Actually, i thought this cheaper generator would be louder so I'm very pleased with the noise level. In fact, everything about this generator works well and seems to be high quality especially for the low price. I've not needed it for an actual outage yet, but I've run several tests through my transfer panel with various load levels for 15-20 mins at a time with perfect operation.
Question:	What type of gas should be used? Or does it even matter
Answer:	Alcohol free if possible. If not add a little Ethynol remover to the gas. Also if this has a fuel shutoff valve you should close the valve and let the engine use all the gas in the carburetor so it won't get all gummed up from the alcohol in the gas. I have a 6500 watt I have been using regularly since 2005 and keep it running great this way.
Question:	Can someone confirm if this (gas only) unit has an automatic choke? I'm seeing no reference to a choke lever/switch on pics or video
Answer:	Yes it’s a choke lever it’s hard to see , but it has sticker pointing it out , This generator is a beast had mine for 5 yrs just used it for first time 8/11/20 had gas in it & everything started up & ran like a champ , had 2 full size fridges , sump pump , injection pump & 65 gallon fish plugged up didn’t budge 👍🏾
