Thank you so much for this video. Our battery just died and we couldn't figure out where the battery was located. Saved us before the storms start this week.
When running, I can't stand on the side of the exhaust flow. I'm surprised how close the gas meter and regulator is. Good video, thanks for taking the time to make it.
Again, everything was installed by an authorized Generac Installer and I cannot feel any exhaust coming toward the meter. All necessary inspections were completed and everything was approved.
When checking battery I always use my multi meter to check battery voltage when the terminals are disconnected. It should read 12 volts when its not being charged with the systems trickle charger. Great video thanks for sharing,
Those battery cables should be more than long enough for you to remove the battery from the unit completely while servicing it. And Always remove the - Negative first, after tripping the breaker and pulling the fuse.
Did you remove the 7.5 amp fuse? Noticed it looked like you touched terminals to generator frame when cleaning. Believe it is recommended when servicing.
Going to work on my Gererac in a few days. Great Video. Question: After the battery is disconnected, Do you have to re-enter any configuration in the menu?
OMG Brother😬😳😬. Your Generac is too close to the house and your gas meter. It’s going to burn up that gas meter during a prolonged outage during the summer. 😮
A Generac installer did the installation. Going to have to trust their expertise. Representatives from the local gas district, Alabama Power and the installer were all here on the day of the installation.
I am pretty sure the gas line is too small for a Generator of this size. Mine is a 16kwh Generac & I had to install 1.5” gas line and have an in line regulator added at the gas meter.

Hallelujah. I am so happy for your excellent video. I am confident I have all I need to service my battery!!
Yes, I do too. Have a great one and enjoy your generator.
I would have very serious concerns with the exhaust side directly at your gas meter.

Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment. Larry
A fully charged battery should have around 12.7 volts. 12.0 volts is very low.
Also, Note: Apply dielectric grease to battery posts to prevent corrosion.
Thanks for your note.
Awesome video. Just completed my battery maintenance. Thanks
Thanks so much for watching. I hope the video was helpfuld.
Thanks for the great video. Keeping it simple and fun.
Thanks so much and I hope you continue to enjoy and keep on watching.
Thank you - that was helpful.
Thank you for the informative video. It was very well done.
Glad it was helpful!. Thank you so much for watching and the comment.

Thanks so much.
Thank you sir for your help
Keep watching
To remove the right side cover ONLY requires hex wrench. Do NOT remove the 10mm bolt. Checking the manual would have prevented that error.

Followed instructions. Thanks for watching.
Do you think the 10 year warranty by Generac is worth it, in your opinion.

That is a great question. I didn't and I don"t know where the backup is.
bro the compression on your mic is distracting

Yeah. The heat looks to be directly facing the meter.
