Hey Chris, good review on the generator. Almost fell off my seat when I saw you reviewing it. I just bought this same unit 3 weeks ago. I also have a 2021 Goldwing which is where I follow you most of time. I RV as well so loved the video. Thanks
Brilliant minds think alike, good job and congratulations on your purchase James!
Have had this generator for 3 years living in New Orleans , Have it set up like a stand by with a manual transfer switch and a small shed next to both NG and the transfer switch. Has worked on demand countless times.Last Sunday we had a short power outage and I started it up, ran as I expected for 1 hour and suddenly stoped . After bringing to a local shop they found that it had a valve issue, A bit of an inconvenience but not a big issue. Still recommend and no regrets
Sir: As an ex-Tool & Die Maker, Machinist, and Vo-Ed Machine Trades Teacher--I APPLAUD YOU! This is THE FINEST CZcams I have seen explaining machinery. We all thank you! You covered all the bases and did it clearly and cogently. You have a very good voice as well. Going out to buy one tomorrow at COSTCO here in Ohio. CARRY ON!
Excellent video and instructions. Just ordered mine and now feel comfortable getting it up and running. Thank you.
Thanks for the link Chris! That is an amazing price just for a gas generator with that high of peak watts. But, to get a tri-fuel and free shipping, amazing!!!
Thanks Chris great tutorial, in-depth …. Answered all my questions👍
Just purchased the Firman Tri Fuel Generator TO8072 here in Canada...Wow one hell of a generator... Paid $1297 Canada all in 👍 (home Depot)
Great review 👍
I have this exact generator too, and like it very much. I run it only on natural gas so I don’t have to store any gasoline or propane. Thanks for a great refresher on the generator and how to use it. 👍
You made an excellent choice, I’ve been testing this generator and it will run anything I plug into it. For what I can tell it’s rock solid, thanks for sharing!
What size natural gas line did you use
@@mytao2001
I use half inch line with quick disconnects
The best explanation for starting the generator.
Very well presented Chris.
Thank you! Explain everything so clearly! Will set my unit up !
Really great job! I have this generator. This is the best tutorial on CZcams. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial . Thank you for posting!!!
Great Job Chris - I only purchased because of your instructional video - Firman should send you a check!
Thank you for the video.
Thank you. Very nicely explained and helpful.
Thank you very much- great video
Great Coverage…Very Well Explained…Thanks…Poncho C
great video thank you!
Beautiful looking generator
Thanks
Never shut the generator off under load , Always disconnect the generator before shutting down .
True
This literally helped me a lot
Excelente video, no subiste el vide prometido de interruptor de transferencia ? Muchas gracias.
That’s still going good how quiet is it thanks for sharing really appreciate it
I like mine a lot, especially during the Texas freeze and assorted power outages. The 1/2" natural gas hose I bought had a 3/8" Female by 1/2" Male brass adapter to connect to the generator. It was too long (deep) on the female end and I had to sand it down so the flange in the adapter would seal against the LP gas fitting on the generator. The other end is a 1/2" male quick disconnect fitting which easily connects to the female fitting attached at the gas valve. I ended up installing a MB Sturgis Propane Elbow Adapter at the generator 3/8" POL fitting. It is a 3/8" Female Flare Swivel x 3/8" Male Flare (Item # 204163) that I purchased from etrailer . Then I installed the 3/8" Female x 1/2" Male brass adapter there. I can plug the 240V 30A cable to the outlet which is connected to the house electrical panel. I have a 4-ton (46,000 BTU) A/C unit. I installed a Micro-Air EasyStart 368 (4-ton) Soft Starter ASY-368-X48-BLUE. My AC unit now uses 12.8 to 13.8 Amps and a Start Peak of 33 to 36 Amps. My UPS's seem to beep & click when connected to the generator. I have a stupid power strip plugged into the battery backup side with items plugged into the strip. All I have to do is move one plug to the surge protector side. And then turn off UPS. Surge protector should still work. FYI ... The 50 Amp outlet only puts out 31 Amps.
That sounds very good. I have 4 ton A/C too and getting this generator. Now soliciting quotes from electricians for 30A outside receptacle and manual transfer interlock slider for my 200A service panel. Is this how U connected your generator? Objective is to run furnace (w/integrated humidifier/air cleaner) in winter and 4 ton A/C unit w/dehumidifier during summer time in a power outage. ThankU.
@@gilbrook The Interlock slider is the way to go. Be sure to turn off all the breakers before switching to generator and before switching back to the grid. Then turn on the breakers individually.
@@rwstarke I’d be running my Firman exclusively in NG mode. Is that how UR running yours? If UR, I’m surprised your 4 ton unit running even w/EasyStart - generator limit 6,900A starts, 5,500A continuous run. Micro-Air generator sizing chart says 7100W generator likely needed for 4 ton A/C w/ASY-368-X48-BLUE EasyStart. U lucked out?
@@gilbrook I only use NG. My A/C unit is 46,000 BTU and has a LRA of 109. EasyStart starts the fan and then gradually increases the power until the compressor is running. I have used the generator 3 times during power outages in the summer and always ran the A/C. There is a Micro-Air smartphone app that connects to the Soft Starter (when running) thru Bluetooth and can monitor line freq, live current, last start peak and other info. I also took some white-out and marked each end of the 30A cable/outlet with a white line to make it easy to line up the plug in the outlet before twisting the plug. Helps when it is dark. Check NG connections with soapy water.
@@rwstarke Thx for pointers RW! Checked label on my outside A/C unit. It’s 5 tons (60,000 BTUs) w/LRA = 150. Won’t be able to run A/C during summer power fail even w/EasyStart, but could run my dehumidifier w/o it. Still getting the Firman T07571.
That sounds noisy. Love the NG idea!!! Do they make a quieter one? Awesome video, Thanks.
Is the natural gas hookup same as the one for natural gas grills?
Hi Chris, one question: our water pump is 220 and the rest of the house is 110, can this generator run both simultaneously? Thanks!
I think Costco has this on on sale soon.
699 i believe?
Chris ur awesome but I just purchased it's KRAZY LOUD
Great video. I’m wondering if you’re not using it that heavy… Save half or less watts… How long would one of those propane canisters last? Would it get you two or three days or we talking just one full day?
What size natural gas piping does your hose connect to?
Great video Chris! Thank you! One question, the natural gas line, is it the same size as a BBQ gas line or is it specific to the Firman generator? Thanks!
Its the exact same as bbq grill gas line, no difference.
did you have any issues using the NG quick connect hose with the orifice ?did the generator run ok?
I was told i had to have a 'straight through open flow quick connect'
No issues whatsoever!
@@chriscaliente5033 did you purchase a 3/8 gas line or 1/2? i didnt see reducer for the gas line going to 3/8 on the generagtor
How do I disconnect the plastic piece on the negative line going to the battery
Just do it.
I have the same unit. Does the voltage and frequency remain the same with all 3 fuels?
I believe so.
I live off the grid…We use our generators for electric washing machines and propane dryers ( electric motors.)
We have use several different generators in the last 20 + years..
Our first time using the firman. (Costco)..
The firman..burns gas….
My usual is one gallon of gas to run the washer and dryer…the Firman burns almost 2 gallons…
The Honda gens seems better gas mileage….my Champion…did better…
The Generac…for our coffee mill…also seems to be better on gas…
Curious how much did you pay at Costco? Online is $999.99, curious what the instore price was?
I saw it at Costco for $1000 with $200 instant off.
889 today at costco. In 2018 it was 640 for the same one . Greed
At the time it was $800.
The biggest problem with generators are Bad Gas . If you have gasoline in the tank use prescriptive in the fuel otherwise it will go bad . Gasoline is only good for 3 months on its own . Use up the fuel up .
True I recommend using Stabil fuel treatment but in a crunch I've used 50:1 two cycle fuel mix and never had a problem.
Your voice reminds of Cleveland Brown.
OMG yes! 🤯
I get that sometimes, thanks!
That is loud..you won't sleep if you had this in the camp..
For camping trips I just take my Super Quite Honda Generator check me out. czcams.com/video/IiHFryHiifk/video.html
This is not inverter generator. Not worth it.
