That is a first ,the only one that drive a ground stake in and hooked it up. The only thing that is wrong is that most grand rods are made from a brass alloy because it conducts elect current better. As far as my HF 8750 I installed a hr meter after 5 hrs of run time .I also have a 12 gal aux fuel tank which alowes me to run it with a 75percent load for 30 hrs without shutting it down . My next step is going to be a remote unit on my fuel guage. I have a 60 amp service in my home and this 8750 is big enough only we have gas heat and stove . Also got a what meter from HF it comes in handy.. My next venture is to bid on a MEP06 MILITARY GENERATOR.

@@CottoDIY here’s a generator safety reminder that everyone really needs to know: please remember to keep your children safe when you’re using portable generators so they won’t get injured by the generator. Remember that generators can be dangerous too. Keep that in mind. Thank you. Just hoping everyone stays safe and being aware with the hazards of using generators.

Can you add a battery for an easier start??? To the 6500 predator
@CottoDIY2 жыл бұрын
Yes this unit has an electric start option you can hook a battery up to.

Can you tell me where the battery ground wire is connected to the genertor? Mine seems to be missing the ground wire. I see the red wire but no ground.
@CottoDIY2 жыл бұрын
If I remember correctly the ground wire mounted to the grounding stake. I set this generator up for a friend of mine who lives 5 hours away, otherwise I would just look at it. Sorry I couldn’t be of more assistance.

Why are there two wires for grounding?
@CottoDIY4 жыл бұрын
Capo Construction good question. I set this up for a friend a couple years ago. I am not an electrician by any means and I don’t know why I would have 2 wires for ground.

You Don't have to use the Ground unless you have too.

Manual says GFI circuits won’t work without the ground.

Do you need the battery to start up the generator
@CottoDIY5 жыл бұрын
daddy ramen I don’t remember if this generator had a pull start as well. I hooked it up for some friends more than a year ago. I’m sure if you called harbor freight, they might still have this model for sale for the specs. Hope this helped🙂

No. But it will make things easy to start.

Hmm, not sure if you have a dead battery or one tell if the cables aren’t collected correctly.

Type of oil?
@CottoDIY3 жыл бұрын
I used the oil that harbor freight sold for this generator. Was my friends generator so am not completely sure of the weight or type.

You can use 10W30 or 10W40 Plane 30 is good also for breaking.
