Two concerns I want to share with you. It is plain that you used Non Metallic Sheathed cable, commonly called by it's first manufacturers brand name for it which is Romex, to make that connection cable. The possible consequence of using that cable is that the wires themselves are solid. Unlike the fine stranded wire in a cord it is more likely to fatigue and break do to the vibration of the generator. You need to size the wire in that cord for the ampacity of the generator's main breaker. If for any reason more current than the generator can produce for a long time was flowing through that breaker it would open on the overload and prevent the generator or it's ampacity matched cord from being damaged. Yes that the gauge of cord which matches the generator's ampacity Is likely to be expensive when compared with Romex but there is a way around that. Install the inlet box on a post made by burying the end of a pressure treated 4X4 in the ground. You will need to dig a trench for Underground Feeder (UF) cable or Underground Service Entry (USE) cable which are suitable for direct burial. Cable must be buried 2 foot deep to it's upper side. Use whichever one is the least expensive there. You can also use PVC Non Metallic Conduit (NMC) and pull THHN-THWN individual wires into it. That only needs to be 18 inches deep to the top of the conduit so it's a little less digging. Mount the inlet high enough above the ground so it is easy to plug into. 4 feet up will make it much easier to see the inlet plug to insert the cord connector over it. You may want to place a yellow mark on the cord connector, that is what the receptacle end of a cord is called, and a yellow mark on the inlet connector so that it is easier to insert the connector into the male inlet when setting up. You may also want to put a green mark were the yellow mark is on the cord connector when it has been plugged in and turned to lock it in the inlet. Yellow mark to yellow mark to insert and yellow mark to green mark when it is locked in position to prevent pull out. The colors are not important use any colors that suit you. Those were just examples. Why am I saying you should put the inlet 30 feet away from the house? Because 25 feet is the absolute minimum separation from the home that any generator should be operated to be sure that Carbon Monoxide will not infiltrate into the house and kill you and your family. If the generator is at least 25 feet from the house you don't have to worry about CO infiltration. Even with 25 feet of separation make sure that you have working CO detectors that also detect propane gas getting inside your house. If enough propane accumulates it will reach an explosive concentration by mixing with the air in the house to propane's lower explosive limit. Propane is heavier than air. When it leaks it flows across the ground like invisible gasoline. It will accumulate in the lowest space it encounters. Basements that have not been externally waterproofed are vulnerable to propane infiltration. External water proofing as a building code requirement is a relatively recent requirement. Tom Horne

Bravo........no filling .......no gas on hands.........fuel doesnt go bad........u do lose little power or watts........all generators should have that oppisition........cheers

Best run thru I’ve seen

Thanks for the Young Guns reference definitely helped my start up process!

Thanks, very helpful.

Remember to turn the valve on your propane tank slowly!

Thanks!

Dose this come with a wiring diagram? I want to wire the start switch to my inverter so it will automatically turn it on when batteries drop to a certain level. Off grid living

Thanks my man this is great info don’t let the haters get you down.

Have a new on ran it a few months ago now, when I turn on the on off switch battery light does not light up/ Battery full charge any ideas?

This Westinghouse inverter generator is VERY HARD TO START during Winter Season/Cold weather..... but In other Seasons is good to Start. I think I will change back to Champion inverter generator soon EASIER TO START during Winter Season 👍👍

4 Eco flow delta pro and 6 Eco flow delta pro extra smart battery (24.8 KWH and power whole house and great idea a 2 smarthome panel

hi... time of autonomy with it?

Thank you for making this video. Can you tell me what all yours can run at once?

Do you have a transfer switch so there will be no backfeed?

That looks like a 30 amp box. Are you using a 30 amp box with 10 wire and 30 amp fuses in your electrical panel? And that handles that size generator without any dangerous problems in your electrical box or wiring?

Dose the generator drain the propane tank if someone forget to turn off the propane . Or dose it have a automatic shut off for the propane line? Thank you

did you hear about the polish generator?....just plug it into an outlet in your house.

Nice Job I tell you made me laugh with light switch

Very informative video!!! Did your home come with that power outlet set up for the generator or did you do that yourself? If so what does that cost roughly?

The breaker interlock has nothing to do with preventing "blowing up your house or generator". It has everything to do with preventing you from murdering a power company lineman by back feeding the line they are working on. And you are completely wrong about the main breaker on the genset itself. You should start the genset with the breaker OFF.

Does this generator come with all cords and propane connector ?

How many hours will it run on propane per gallon or pound of LP?

Kinda spooky you forgot to turn on the generator breaker in the panel.

Thanks for the video. I seriously have to question your manual interlock install. If you look at 8:59, the red bar clearly is way above the circuit breaker. Which makes it look like the generator circuit breaker can be moved regardless of where the red bar is (and thus the main breaker!). This defeats the whole purpose of the interlock. It may be a visual illusion, but it definitely doesn’t look correct on the video.

Did you disconnect the bonded neutral ?

That thing is really loud

Why are you struggling with such a simple plug 🔌

Just wait until power back

To much talking geezzzz
