Tools and Hardware Reviews of Generac 4582-2 Ultra Source 15,000 Watt Portable Generator (CARB Compliant)Customer Review: a good generator high output Summary: 5 Stars
7/2009 have beeen useing this generator for a year now no problems at all. Have many events with my concession trailer powers evetything with no problems. In the winter I added gas stabalizer and ran the gen till the carbs were empty with gas turned off. Ran it once during the winter just to run it for 15 min under load. Again turned off gas and ran gen till carbs were dry. Come summer it started up first try. I can say that am glad I chose this product
2008 I got this generator within 5 days. The truck pulled up with no lift gate. The driver suggested off loading it to the bed of my pickup, had to get 2 others to help us. once off loaded to my pickup the driver was like ok later its all yours. Took me a few hours to rig something up to get it off my truck, this thing is very heavy just like they say.
Assembly is stright foward it helps to have someone help you but can be done by one person it needed. Make sure you read the instructions because you need to add oil to it before you start it. Added oil and gas it started right up. I have a concession trailer and it takes alot of amps to run it, this did it no problem. I checked the voltage with a meter and it stayed within 1/2 a volt or so, output with no load was like 124 volts and 239.6 at the generator. I took this to an all day event and ran it like 13 hours it ran fine out of the box with no problems. As the others have stated this thing is loud and will eat some gas, alot of gas. However if you need the power it will do the job.
There was another vendor there with the very same generator who told me he has had his for sometime now and runs electric fryers off of it. He runs a 24 ft concesson trailer off this one generator and said it has done the job for him with no problems. He did givem me 2 tips that i will pass on.
#1 the generator has a low oil shut off if for some reason it shuts off you can not pull the oil dip stick out when it is hot cause it swells some when hot. You must wait for the unit to completely cool off to check the oil, so pull the dip stick out alittle when running it.
# 2 is before traveling make sure to drain all the gas out of the engine to pervent the float from becoming damaged (this is only if you have it loaded on a trailer for some time).
So far I am very happy with this generator the shipping sucked so watch for that if you dont have a forklift. hope this helps.
