One thing that would help is locking the breaker panel. Most panels have a place to lock with a padlock. Also put a note on the panel stating what you have...

Talk to you like a 12yo? Okay, be sure to power an outlet on the same side of your panel as the freezer so your ice cream won't melt. Seriously, though, this...

Said it once and I'll say it again. Transfer switches are so inexpensive that it makes no sense to risk the lineman, a family member (double male plug), or...
I have a 2000 bought after Katrina. I was running it every 2or 3 months but only unloaded. It always started right up and idled. Today after a thunder storm...
I am thinking of making a box to run my EU2000 in out of Aluminum diamond plate similar to some I have seen for $700.00. I can make one myself for a fraction...
Are you running a drop cord directly to the fridge and only that appliance or going through the house wiring somehow? If the former, how long is the cord and...
... Do not run the Honda without the covers securely in place. They are absolutely necessary to facilitate the air flow thru the generator. Without that air...
If the EU-2000 is run in any form of box, great care must be taken to insure that the hot cooling air and engine exhaust that comes out the exhaust end can not...
Hersey, The Honda Cabinet I made recently I have had no problem with hot air staying inside the box, even with the two front doors closed. I do have at each...
Yes that sounds normal. An appliance like a refridgerator draws much more current on startup than its rated draw. I have the same problem when I conect my 2000...
Just thought I would add one comment to Tim's comment about one leg feeding the Left side and the other leg feeding the right side of the panel. While this it...
I'd also like to second Marcus' recommendation. I installed the same transfer (vintage) switch immediately after the big ice storm here in Oklahoma earlier...
Agreed. That (transfer switch) is a safe, simple solution, that requires very little training to operate, and this makes it the best solution for many. Does it...

Hello all, I just bought a Hobbs hour meter off E-Bay, for my new EU-2000. My question is, what guage wire should I use to attach it, and where is the best...
This might be relevant, though my meters might be a little different. I have Briggs and Stratton meters. I attached one wire to the spark plug wire with tape...
Jim, it all depends on the meter, Some will run on 110 volts AC at either 50, 6o, or even 400 Hertz, Othrs will run on DC power; 4-14, 6-26 etc. Incure you...
