    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.

      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.

      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,

      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.

    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.

    To remove the right side cover ONLY requires hex wrench. Do NOT remove the 10mm bolt. Checking the manual would have prevented that error.

  • @SRCardow1
    @SRCardow1 4 месяца назад +2

    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.

    • @StNixFarms
      @StNixFarms  3 месяца назад

      Followed instructions. Thanks for watching.

    Do you think the 10 year warranty by Generac is worth it, in your opinion.

    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?

    • @StNixFarms
      @StNixFarms  5 месяцев назад

      That is a great question. I didn't and I don"t know where the backup is.

    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. 😮

    • @StNixFarms
      @StNixFarms  3 месяца назад +2

      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.

    • @Realtor-Phil
      @Realtor-Phil 2 месяца назад

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

      @@StNixFarms It should have failed inspection. NFPA ( National Fire Protection Association ) rules are pretty clear.
      NFPA 37 Requirements
      For a complete and updated list, see the NFPA 37 web page.

      5ft. from openings in walls (operable windows, doors, vents, window wells, or openings in the wall).

      3 ft. of clearance at the front and both ends. This includes trees, shrubs, and bushes. Vegetation not in compliance could obstruct airflow and exhaust fumes could inhibit plant growth.
      In addition to these requirements, verify all potential for water intrusion is directed away from the generator enclosure: sprinklers, roof run-off, down spouts, and sump pump discharge.
