 Runs great in warm weather, but...

This generator runs great in warm weather. In the cold Northeast, a breather line freezes causing non-start.

 Manual Standby Generator?

Yes, the title is an oxymoron. How can you have a manual - yet standby - generator?

Basically, the PowerNow generator from Briggs & Stratton is stationary, and it runs off propane like a standby generator.

It just doesn't start automatically.

You can plug extension cords directly into the generator.

Or, in the case of this customer, you can connect a manual transfer switch to restore power to essential circuits in your home.

Either way, you'll need to manually start the generator and direct the electricity into the house.

Check out the video to learn more.

 Solar Power Applications Are Excluded From Warranty Coverage

EGD RESPONDS: All of the standby generator brands we carry exclude warranty coverage when used in non-utilty... more
