Tillotson TPP-4500G-A - 3500 Watt Electric Start Portable Generator w/ Wireless Remote

Tillotson Power Products generators are designed for the serious user looking for advanced features and reliability. For the past 100 years, we’ve been creating and standing behind the best fuel systems for the biggest companies in virtually every power segment, including automobile, motorcycle, lawn & garden, construction, snowmobile, jet ski, outboard marine, unmanned aircraft and racing. For our entry into the consumer product market, we’ve taken that experience and created a line of portable generators that are designed to outperform everything else on the market. We’ve incorporated a modified racing engine rated at 2000+ hours into full featured generators which boast a square steel frame for enhanced stability and durability; heavy duty drop handles and large run-flat tires for easy mobility; electronic run time meter for monitoring engine service life; covered electrical outlets to protect against moisture; low oil automatic shut off to prevent engine damage and an easy-on keyed electric start with recoil option to make starting safe and easy. This model is ideal for camping and RV use as well as emergency use. In addition to its 2 GFCI covered outlets, it offers a 120V/30A RV outlet and a 12V DC plug and includes a remote control on/off so you can start the generator from inside your RV or house and up to 300 feet away.

If you're not familiar with our history, you can learn more about us at tillotson.ie and see our high-performance racing products at Tillotson-racing.com. Our racing division had a major role to play in creating these generators, not only with their enhanced engines but also making them a true work of art, something you’d be proud to show off at the track, in your back yard and anywhere else. The roll-cage design with our trademark diamond grate not only looks great, but also lets you stack boxes, tools and other items on top when not in use for efficient storage. The generators can also be upgraded with our low-emission, ultra-quite TillotsonTCT carburetors, available later this year.

We stand behind our generators with our 100 year manufacturing history and a 2 year parts/1 year labor warranty. If you have any questions or need help, we’ll be here to answer your questions, or you can always email us at sales@tillotsonpower.com.

Thanks for looking!

The power cables that goes into the coach to a power transfer switch has a twist lock plug and I was pleased that this generator had a 30 amp twist lock socket on it.

I like the remote start/stop. I don't have to wire it up so I can run it from inside the coach. The owners manual didn't tell me that when I try to start the generator, it will try three times. Starts right up when the temperature is about 55 degrees. I'll let you know how it woks when it gets down to freezing.

The meter is nice, but is has several functions that the owners manual doesn't tell you about. It does tell you how much time is on the generator for that day of running. You have to read it before you shut it down for the day. It tells you the total running time for the machine. It tells you the frequency and the line voltage.
The owners manual didn't tell how much oil to put into the engine when I first started it up. Sort of added oil until it runs out.

The owners manual recommends to turn the breaker off before shutting the engine off. There are no breaker switcher on my machine. The little 'starting card' recommends to disconnect all loads before shutting the engine down.
I have been an electrician in heavy industry for 38 years and I know about polarities. The plug for RV's has reversed polarity. I won't use that but I will have to get that fixed.

Purchased this unit in sealed box. Opened box and found the gas valve broken and would not working. The battery was not connected and battery was in bad shape with corrosion. Nut and bolt was welded together. Had to take complete battery cover off unit to remove battery to make repairs just to connect cable. Very disappointed with unit after purchase. Call about warranty and had hard time with communications. Called number shown on warranty card. Person on phone did not know if they carried parts. Did not know about gas valve err. Be careful with this generator. Make sure you look over good before purchase.
