    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.

    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.

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

    I would have very serious concerns with the exhaust side directly at your gas meter.

    • @StNixFarms

      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.

    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.

    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 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Followed instructions. Thanks for watching.

    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  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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

    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 หลายเดือนก่อน +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 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

      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.
