We're Olivia and Nathan 👋🏽 Our first ever generator - The Predator 3500W Super Quiet Inverter 💥Unboxing, Start Up, Setup, Oil Change, Review | Is it Super Quiet?
In this video we share with you our process of following the Predator's "Set-Up" guide.
Unboxing it, starting it, breaking it in, changing the oil...and also answer one of Harbor Freight's most asked questions: is it in fact, SUPER QUIET?? Is it worth the price? How does the Predator 3500 compare to the Honda 300? Is it hard to do an oil change?
NOTE: the Predator Generator comes with a "Owner’s Manual & Safety Instructions" and with a "Set-Up" guide card. For the initial Set-Up process, we followed that card. That card does not have the Electric Starter Battery Connection instructions on it. So we missed that in this video. But we connected it after and it's all good.
We're new to the RV world - just purchased a used travel trailer and are touring the US for the next 12 months. We've spent weeks researching the best options for electricity, wifi, tools, products, and everything else people swear-by for the new RVer. 🤪 We considered solar but after more research it made sense for us to use a generator.
We needed something that could run our AC (3000W) and most importantly, be quiet enough for campsites...as well as fit inside our budget! This was our choice (and so far we are SO happy with how it's performing!) Are two final choices were the "Champion 3500-Watt Dual Fuel Inverter Portable Generator" and this "Predator 3500W Super Quiet Inverter" - we chose this one because it was cheaper by a few hundred dollars and we actually read more positive reviews about it.
Over the next year we will also be providing updates on how well it's operating and if there's any maintenance needed.

Thanks for watching! This was our first time ever buying/using a generator. NOTE: ELECTRIC STARTER - the Predator Generator comes with an "Owner’s Manual & Safety Instructions" booklet and with a "Set-Up" guide card (shown in the video). For the initial Set-Up process, we followed that card, as instructed by the Harbour Freight employee. That set-up card does not have the Electric Starter Battery Connection instructions on it (it's mentioned only in the manual). So we missed that in this video. But we connected it after and it's all good. (for any comments asking about the electric starter) We’ll give you an update in 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months on how this generator does! And if we missed anything please let us know. And don’t hesitate to hit us up in the comments if you have any other questions! 👍🏽

⚠️Please make sure you follow all the generator safety tips whenever you use your portable generator. This is just a reminder for your safety when using generators. All generator safety instructions need to be followed carefully. Here are the safety tips: 1) KEEPING OTHERS SAFE: Please do not allow an unqualified person or your children to operate and service the portable generator. Just because some manuals don’t say that doesn’t mean it’s safe. That is important against the generator safety rules. We also need to be keeping an eye on our children too. You need to make sure that your children are not playing near the portable generator especially when it’s running so they won’t get electrocuted. Generators pose electrical risks and they can be hot during an operation. Please keep your children away from the portable generator at all times. It is important to keep our children safe especially our little ones. Children often get curious about anything so we should keep an eye on them to also make sure they’re not wandering towards the generator. 2) WHERE TO RUN YOUR GENERATOR: Some people use their portable generators indoors which increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have a carbon monoxide if you have a gas generator. Never ever use your generator indoors even if your doors and windows are open and even in the garage is not safe to use a portable generator. Not even at your porch and your deck. It is never safe to use your generator indoors and in enclosed areas of your home. Your generator needs to be 15-20 feet away from your house. 3)🔥FIRE HAZARDS: Never refuel your generator while it’s running. You need to let your generator cool off before refueling it and before storing your generator. Never overload your generator too. Never ever back feed your generator. You should never plug your generator into a wall outlet. Also never store propane tanks indoors. Please keep flammable things away from the generator as well and please don’t smoke cigarettes near the generator. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important against the generator safety rules. 4) GENERATOR OPERATION: make sure your hands are dry before touching the generator. Never use your generator in wet conditions. Don’t let your generator get wet. You need a generator tent if you need to use your generator during wet weather. Please don’t wear loose clothes when operating the generator. Turn on your generator before plugging in appliances. Use the right cord for your generator. Please do not use worn out cords. Hope this helps.

Great video of what it’s like being new at something and opening the box as you try to interpret sometimes poorly written instructions. I like that your video wasn’t overly scripted. One recommendation as I purchased the same generator yesterday. To use the electric start you must remove the battery cover and attach the battery. The instructions say hook up the red (positive) cable first. I’ve never done that with a car battery, but, I will follow Harbor Freight’s guidance. All the best and enjoy your journey!

...few suggestions: First, do buy a bicycle chain and chain the inverter generator onto something solid before someone’s walks away with it in the middle of the night. Second, you really don’t need a fuel stabilizer if you’re using the gasoline whole. Fuel stabilizer is intended in case you want to save it for a long period of time such as 7 or 8 months or so. Possibly see if you can find marine gasoline for the inverter generator ( without ethanol). Third, change the oil periodically (specially when it was in use) Fourth: find a cover for it to use the generator while it rains. Wet generators are dangerous - water and electricity not the best friends! Fifth: kudos to the girl, she’s awesome! As a first timer she kept on going and never gave up👍 Keep up the good work and you’ll be a prepped yourself🤗 Thank you for the video👍

14:15, oil is checked without screwing the stick back in. At the start of the video it was done correctly. If you check it by screwing it in and also allowing the oil level to reach the lower part of the stick, you’ll actually be around 8oz low on oil.

Also, the stabilizer should be added to the gas can, then the gas and finally the tank for a good mix.

@davidpowell6258 3 жыл бұрын

I believe you may have forgotten to connect your battery. In the future if you warm it up before draining the oil it will put some of metal and carbon in suspension and will also drain faster. If you mix the stabilizer with the gas in the can you only have to do it once and the gas in the can will last. Tipping engines all the way over is not a great idea as a rule. Great video lots energy and personality.

Get a socket wrench with a 10mm socket and an extension for changing the oil. I may be mistaken, but it looked like when you put the oil plug back in the 1st time it looked like the washer was missing on the plug. It may have fallen off when you removed it the 1st time. Also, it’s better to put the generator on some kind of blocks to change the oil. Gives you room for the drain pan, removing and replacing the rubber bottom flange without tilting the generator on its side. Also look into buying a magnetic dip stick. It helps to collect metal shavings in the oil to protect engine life. Couldn’t help but laugh when you held the electric start button for 3 seconds without connecting the battery! Lol

Hello, waiting for a update. How do you like using the generator ?

We enjoy it Frank, so far it’s done it’s job well! We don’t use it all that often, like once every 6 weeks or so but it runs well and is not too loud! Hope that helps! Cheers!

Hook up the battery and the push button starter will work as well.

When you turn it to start your actually choking it which makes it very rich and that’s why it runs kind of rough. You can also started on run which does not turn on the choke and then run smoother when it’s warm. If you run it on start too long you will foul the spark plug.

This is great but watching you guys try the start button without connecting the included battery made it funny to watch. Either way still a great review and I love mine as well it’s so quiet

Nice video guys. If your gonna rv you better get yourself a decent set of quality tools. (Proper tools for the job). Start with a good socket set, plier set and a multi meter. Add from there. You will end up with what you need as jobs come up. Ps throw away that multi socket monstrosity. They are more trouble than they're worth unless you need a paperweight! Good luck.

Came across this video after buying one. The only think that made me cringe was when you said you were gonna hose down that spilled oil. Hope you wiped it up or used cat litter first. 🙏🏽♥️ Other than that very informative.

Olivia is adorable :-) So I have the same generator, only used it once so far and works great but yeah, those instructions could have mentioned connecting the battery. Amazing how much better the start button works WITH it connected.

Hi guys, just a friendly fyi. You may have already figured this out but .. when the knob is in start position that activates the choke. This cuts the air flow almost completely off so the engine gets extra gas for the startup however, if it continues to run on choke mode it will file the spark plug and clog up the spark arrestor Etc. Also, I am no stranger to engine & equipment maintenance and rebuilds open to questions. Happy camping 😃

Did you hook up the battery that's why the push starter didn't work

Did you happen to read page 7 of the instructions that mention "Electric Starter Battery Connection"? Generators, if they come with a battery will ship disconnected. Great video for anyone new to generators.

We missed it at first but after filming & posting the video, we connected it! It wasn't mentioned in the "set-up guide." Thanks Rich!

After the 1st oil change you can use synthetic 10/30 . The seals have seeded.

You want to go from start to run within 5 seconds, that is your choke for starting only, rich fuel mixture will wash oil off cylinder walls and that is not good
