FAQ:
1. What makes your gasoline engines fuel-efficient?
Most CAG models feature 4-stroke, air-cooled, OHV (Overhead Valve) engines, designed for durability and fuel efficiency. Specific models may vary (e.g., gasoline, propane, or diesel options).
2. How do I calculate the right generator size for my needs?
We recommend adding the starting watts of all appliances you plan to run simultaneously. Use their online wattage calculators (e.g., CAG's "Power Table") for personalized recommendations.
3. Are these generators quiet enough for residential use?
Yes! CAG's Gasoline generators operate as low as 68 dB (comparable to a quiet conversation), while CAG's "Quiet Technology" models reach 65 dB at 23 feet. Ideal for camping or home backup.
4. How long can the engine run continuously?
- TC and TV Series: Up to 12 hours at 25% load (e.g.,TC2500).
- TG TB series: 14 hours at 50% load (e.g., CAG TG6500).
Always check load capacity for optimal runtime.
5. Do you offer a warranty for engine defects?
Most brands offer 2-3 years limited warranties for residential use and 1 year for commercial applications. Register the product online to activate coverage.
6. Why choose a dual-fuel gasoline/propane generator?
Both brands highlight:
- Flexibility: Use gasoline for power or switch to propane for cleaner burns (2500W-8500W Dual Fuel).
- Longer Shelf Life: Propane doesn't degrade like gasoline.
- Lower Emissions: Propane models meet Stage and EPA standards.
7. How do I maintain the engine during winter?
- Use ethanol-free gasoline or add a stabilizer
- Store in a dry place; CAG advises monthly "exercise runs" (10 minutes) to lubricate components.
- For propane engines, purge the fuel line before storage.
8. Are replacement parts readily available?
Yes! Both brands provide:
- Online parts diagrams (e.g., CAG's "Parts catalogs").
- Genuine filters, spark plugs, and carburetors ship within 24 hours.
9. How often should I perform engine maintenance?
Follow the "50-hour rule": Change oil after the first 5-8 hours of use, then every 50-100 hours. Regularly inspect air filters, spark plugs, and fuel systems.
10. Why won't my engine start?
Common causes include:
- Clogged fuel lines or stale fuel
- Dirty air filters
- Faulty spark plugs
- Low oil levels (triggering automatic shutdown sensors).
11. Are these engines compatible with aftermarket parts?
While generic parts may fit, always use brand-approved components to avoid voiding warranties or causing performance issues.
12. How do I prepare the engine for long-term storage?
- Add fuel stabilizer and run the engine for 5 minutes.
- Drain fuel or use a shutoff valve.
- Store in a dry, ventilated area away from flammables.
