Generac Guardian Maintenance Kit for 8kW Home Standby Generator (410cc) (2008 to 2012)

It seems many local stores do not carry this maintenance kit any more. I found your internet site about 3 years ago and am very happy you carry this kit for a reasonable price. Fast delivery and would definitely recommend this site to anyone.

People ask, all the time, "where can I get a maintenance package." Well, you found it. The only thing missing is the oil and depending on the climate you live in OR your personal choices - the oil would vary widely.

Everything I wanted was there. The higher capacity oil filter, a spark plug and an air filter. Then there's the extras like a funnel, a towel, service sticker and even a warning to verify the spark plug gap.

I do service calls and the most frustrating one is the one where people say "It worked great doing the exercises but when I needed it - it wouldn't even start. I get an "OVERCRANK" failure but the light is green." When I ask "What's the last thing you did before the failure to start?" they say "Nothing, I performed the maintenance so it would be in tip top form and that's all." Then I go and flip over this particular air filter and the generator starts right up.

Gases are strange too rich and they won't burn, too much air and they won't burn. The filter is closed at one end and that end must be towards the door that opens or NO AIR gets to the ignition. The instructions only tell you to check orientation and most people think "it's round".

Save yourself some aggravation and a service call. Start & run it before you perform maintenance and again when you complete the maintenance. If it doesn't run after maintenance then it's something you probably changed. Hope this helps.

Prompt delivery.

Every Sunday my Generac generator runs for 10 minutes . I know that the generator is ready for the big storm.

I'd buy it again.

I ordered this generator for our beach house located on the NW Florida coast. Electric Generators Direct shipped as promised and we began the installation process.

Setting up the generator was no problem, but installing the transfer switch proved to be a bit of a problem. The switch is quite large and would not fit into the wall space that we had planned for it. We solved this problem by mounting a weatherproof box on the outside of the house and installing the transfer switch in the box.

A few weeks after the installation was completed, a tropical storm came through our area. We lost electricity eight times over two days for a total of 21 hours. The generator worked perfectly, coming on every time the electricity went off and shutting down when it came back on.

Since that time, we have had a few other outages and the Generac worked perfectly every time. We are very satisfied.

I was looking for a really well built Generator. I checked Onan and Cat but they were too big for what I needed. I kept seeing Generac and have wired some up for customers that ordered them but I was not impressed. Generac kept coming up as the best choice for my customers needs so I finally ordered one. I studied this unit and have found them to be second to no one. The company building these is doing it right. Someone said it was noisey, it's a running engine and I thought it was very quiet. Thank You Electric Generators Direct.
