User questions & answers

Question:	What is the dB rating on this unit
Answer:	50 dB at 1/2”. That is what the manufacturer is saying. Without a standard it is worthless information. I can claim mine is 47 dB but that measurement is at 30’ from the quietest side another claims 57dB but that is at 10’ Reporting the max reading from any side. Guess which one is quieter? Every generator is 0dB if you stand far enough away.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Most of Generac’s products—like the XC Series portable generators—are built right here in Wisconsin. However, the iQ3500 is manufactured to our specifications by a partner overseas.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Same as my DuroMax XP2000iS. These are all Yamaha clones. I paid $450 for mine. Same exact generator, just blue instead of orange. Also, the Pulsar PG2300iS at $429.
Question:	Generac 30 A for RV
Answer:	I have a Rockwood 233s travel trailer with a 15k air conditioning unit. This runs the whole unit, lights, fridge, water pump fans and AC no problem.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a fuel cutoff valve
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.
Question:	What are wattage requirements for average home appliances
Answer:	I just went out and measured mine: 26" tall x 30" wide x 22" deep. I suspect the dimensions given are the packaged dimensions.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit
Answer:	Hello,My name is Anna and I will be assisting you today. The unit can be ordered with or without the 200 amp automatic transfer switch. We do recommend working directly with an authorized independent servicing provider in your area for assistance with the purchase or pairing of a transfer switch to your backup generator as those technicians are both trained to work on Generac products, and are familiar with your state and local electrical codes. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and have provided you with a link that you can use to pull up and review contact information for these local authorized independent servicing providers in your area below. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any other questions or concerns.http://www.generac.com/dealer-locator?category=1
Question:	Can you tell me if this kit is compatible with model
Answer:	7043 is the newest model.
Question:	Will this kit work with QP
Answer:	My home has four, 200 amp panels. Our generator only backs up one of them. The house was designed with a generator in mind so we put various critical loads on the backup panel. Refrigerators, internet, one air conditioner, things like that. Sometimes, with larger homes on smaller lots you may not have the luxury of backing up the entire house.
Question:	Hi, i would like to know if the generac 5721 kit are comptabile with generac air filter# 0d9723 and oile filter # 070185 and spark plug # rc14yc
Answer:	The generator has the option to test itself once a week; bi-weekly or monthly depending on which model you purchase. Any of these settings would work for the generator. Some customers wish to conserve on fuel, so they prefer the bi-weekly or monthly setting. It is a preference, none of these options would harm the unit. If the exercise time is not adjusted; it will be set at the default which is once weekly at 2pm every Wednesday. I hope this information is helpful. please contact us if you need any further assistance.

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.
