Thanks for the information. Great video!!

I recommend holding it in place and energizing it.

What is the white pvc pipe for? Regulator static air run away from the generator? Drain??

The installers take a lot of stuff that belongs to the home owner.

I'm about to fixed 20kva and I want to know how to fix it can you please help?

have started our Generac at 30 below in Maine, 4 year old battery.

Well explained, thank you.

Why do they always want the doors to open upwards, almost all Australian camper doors open down, no need for magnets.

😊 working on mine. Unlocking so many videos. Learning as I go. For me personally it was much easier to take the cop rail off and keep it off after putting on bead receiver that hangs over pool wall and then reinforcing with with the rails that snap over cinching but not screwing down the top rail because it's much easier to work the pool liner into the bead receiver without that overhanging top rail getting in the way of your hands and wrists can you create a little more room to create more leverage.. I wish I would have just bought the unibead liner because I had j hook and oh my goodness is it easier once you get it started. Some people use the locking mechanisms because there's too much space and I'm glad I don't have that issue but Sam is in the tight squeeze.. I got blisters on Me Fingaz 😅😅😅

Hey Dan. Good mods. No links for items. 🤔

High/Low fan switch, am guessing Gl=low and GH is high, you show G (presume) Green, is your common? On mine a Coleman Mach 15, my common is blue, I can figure out hi and low, but what wire goes to center of switch..NEED P/N of switch, thanks great informative video...

Good to know! I think I would run some engine temp safe wire loom over that wire under the engine. Also, if cold is an issue on the battery, maybe get a low profile battery box to help isolate it all from the metal floor and help keep it warm. Thanks for sharing a helpful tip for everyone!

You should have mentioned the sediment trap on gas pipe, excellent content.

Its not a bad idea to cycle the generator/transfer switch evey once in a while (especially if you havent had an outage in a while.) It keeps the innards of the transfer switch moving just incase of prolonged corrosion build up. Do this by shutting the main breaker off in your house with gen in "auto"". Let it run for 20 or so minuts and then turn main breaker back on.

I don't have a Generac system but what i do have is a system i built. Fabricated the metal cabinet enclosure and bought the twin-V2 air cooled engine and a 14KW generator head. Combined everything to be controlled by the DSE 7320 control module, DSE 855 communication module and battery maintainer. Rather than purchasing Generac named winterized products at such a high cost. I bought a battery warmer 65 watt and a engine block heater pad 150 watt. Both have internal temperature switches that keep the temperature of the pads maintaining constant heat. Controlled by the DSE 7320 module whenever the temperature drops to 40 degrees. I placed the engine block heater directly onto the bottom of the engine block to achieve even heat to effectively warm up the engine oil. I'm not certain that placing one of those Generac oil filter style heat cups over the oil filter really is doing any good. Most of the oil drains back into the engine block once the motor is stopped. So many additional parts that are to many to list. One most important thing I found was using the best quality and proper grade of motor oil. I found that Mobile 1 full synthetic 15-30 motor oil works excellent 👌. Still needs changed every 6 to 8 months or within 60 hours of run time. Monthly scheduled test runs need to be performed. I built my own system in order to know everything I need to for when something fails. No need to wait on someone else to fix what I can do myself . I keep a number of spare parts on hand including starter's, sensors, relays, LP fuel shut off solenoid valves and coils, engine mags, breather filters, double stage regulator. It's so good👍😊 to run and maintain your own equipment and not be stumbling around trying to figure out someone else's mess.

Great video but i believe hard starts actually are rougher on ac systems and shorten the life span. They are also considerably cheaper than soft starts.

I live in Missouriand ours froze up at 10 below and hasn't started since.

Did you have to buy the Generac Auxiliary switch separate or is that built in from factory?

Mine has a heat pack as well. I disconnected 2 of the 3 elements (put them each on a toggle) . SO the HP and if necessary the one element (2500 watt element) will run on my 20KW genny. I have tested it and works well. can turn on 1 or 2 toggles depending on load.

Can you muret the wire in tha main electrical panel as a junction box?

What's the point of this video?

Avr position

I like the fact that I can actually hear and understand what you say. So many YTers have the camera/phone a long way away or they try to talk with a ton of background noise. nice to clearly understand what you are saying!

I put in a generac 24kw a few months back and I have a 4 ton and a 2 ton AC units and when the 4 ton starts the generac was bogging pretty good. I checked the 4 ton, it's an old one, about 17 years old now, and it was rated to pull 117 LRA. I decided to bite the bullet and buy a Micro Air soft start for both units and will be adding them next week. I don't want to have to deal with brownouts running on generator and this should help to add life to both compressors and the genset as well.

so why did the generator keep running after power was restored?

Hey, 14kw generator can support tree 40A -AC & some lights and plug? Thanks

Great video…learned more on your video than AC sites. Going from a hard start to soft start for generator

Really easy setup, had it out if box and running in less than an hour, including reading the manual. Wheels came with it. Remote start a plus. Electric start worked perfectly. Would recommend.

so u put a 100 amp beaker in the main panel that feeds the top side utility into the transfer switch and the question is do u take the original breakers out of the panel that u want to have powered up by the generator and put them in the transfer switch panel. so how is the appliances u want to have power with the utility on getting power if u put them in the transfer switch

How do you actually replace the fuse? Did you use needle nose pliers to remove them or special tool?

It's probably too late. I don't know if you still check these videos. But I have the new updated version of this part/module. Do you know how to wire it??? Would be much h appreciated. Thx! Got it hooked up for the most part I just don't know we're the big 110v. Blue wire for compressor would go on this new board

Nice touch using an end switch for the garage door, which is really independent of the generator function. BTW, most people overthink these installations. There's really no need for a drop-out relay on a drier because they will pause with a power interruption anyway. (requires manual restart) You really only need to deal with that if you have kids or a cleaning service that doesn't understand the word NO!

Dan the man!

Why did you upgrade from a 14kW to a 22kW! That’s a big change in kilowatts.

Not a fan of the way you had it put in. Not a fan of it pointing near the deck, pool, and house. With the 22kW you will not have to worry about that anymore.

Great review, as well as your personal insights.

when performing maintenance, do you simply press the off button on the generator and begin working? or do you have to turn off the main circuit breaker panel and utility switch inside cabinet like when it's under load? just want to be sure. thanks.

It's very nice but too thick in depth for our RV cabinet. You did a great install!

Thank you for the video. Question, what brand pool ladder is that?

As a technician, I love meeting homeowners like you. You know what you want, and I make basic recommendations. An educated customer is your best customer.

Waiting on my doors to be delivered and thought I’d do some research before they got here. Your video really boosted my confidence. Looks really about as straightforward as I hoped hit would be. I’m excited to get started. Thank you for sharing.

3/8 COPPER FROM TANK. WHAT THE BTU RATING FOR 3/8 COPPER

We are in North Georgia we are suppose to get temps down in the single digits tonight into tomorrow we have the same generator with no winter kit you think if we loose power my Generic will start up?

I live in North Georgia we are suppose to get temps down in the single digits do you think if power goes out it will start I dont have one of those winter pacs on this unit that keeps the battery warm and the oil crank case warm either .

Nice pool.

I replaced my 12kw with a brand new 2022 Generac 14kw with the newer designed engine with hydraulic lifters which I really like my old one had that 1L with non hydraulic lifters make sure you keep valves right first adjustment is first 25 hours then 300 after I wouldn't go that long 200 max I always did it warm your smart and know these machines so probably not telling you anything you don't know my house isn't very big and is very rural 14kw is plenty what I don't like about it they removed oil cooler to help prevent moisture it does hold more oil than the bigger engine far as oil stay away from car oils such as Mobil 1 because the ppm on zinc and phosphorus is very low around 700 to 800 for emission system small engine oil like Briggs and Stratton or Amsoil small engine oil have alot more zinc and phosphorus which are very important for small air cooled engines and they are 100% synthetic Mobil 1 and other big name oils are not 100% they only need so much to be labeled full synthetic on my generator I can run mine off the phone just have to check box for not responsibility for injuries or damage if someone is working on it which I understand but they have improved on some of those things I also have cold weather kit probably turn off battery warmer 540cc is plenty for a 816cc twin cylinder now the Mobile link is 49.99 for all the information its free for basic information mine also has cold weather start runs longer before transfer

i'm just wondering when generac will start offering a standby gen with 'eco' mode. these larger units really use the fuel, and it would be nice if they throttled down when usage is low.

Why cant the units be made with the soft start when built!!

The engine starts at 1:58.

The reason they don’t offer remote control is they would have to maintain security servers to prevent hacking. I know it’s unlikely anyone would. But it’s easy to push data out. No security risk. But allowing inbound communication control is fairly complex and requires more expensive servers to maintain. They likely hire a third party developer who would have to price in the cost for this over x number of generators. If less than $100k annually, it wouldn’t be cost prohibitive
