Firman P03631 Portable Generator

Description:

The Firman P03631 is a portable open frame generator with a rated wattage of 3,650 W and a starting wattage of 4,450 W. With a 208 cc Firman Max-Pro Series OHV 4-stroke engine, the Firman P03631 operates on gasoline, providing 120/240V, with a running wattage of 3,650W and a starting wattage of 4,450W.

With a noise rating of 75 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a dishwasher), the generator features a conventional pull-start mechanism, but also a user-friendly and efficient electric starter (battery included). To increase convenience, the P03631 offers remote starting functionality, allowing for easy operation from a distance (key fob included).

The P03631's fuel tank, with a capacity of 5 gallons, supports uninterrupted operation for around 14 hours at 50% load when fully fueled (fuel consumption at an estimated 0.36 gallons per hour).

The quite high THD (<25%) of the P03631 makes it unsuitable for powering sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

The control panel features the following 4 AC outlets:

Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI

120V 30A (TT-30R) receptacle

120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle

Moreover, it presents 3 DC outlets: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle providing easy battery charging capabilities and two 5V USB ports (USB-A) allowing you to conveniently charge electronics such as mobile phones and tablets.

Thanks to its TT-30R receptacle (TT stands for 'Travel Trailer'), this Firman generator is RV Ready, making it ideal for powering recreational vehicles. In addition, because the P03631 is equipped with a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: it can power your home during a power outage, as it can be easily connected to your breaker box to power your household.

Portability

Measuring L24.8 x W21.7 x H21.7 in, the classic open frame construction of the Firman P03631 provides stability while enabling convenient maintenance access to components and adequate air cooling. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.

Though weighing 119.5 lbs, the generator remains classified as 'portable,' indicating its capability to be moved, though its weight could pose transport challenges. Despite the restricted maneuverability, its wheel kit (?8") and its folding handle provides a solution, allowing for convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.

Features

The P03631's control panel

The P03631's status and activity may be monitored conveniently via the control panel, as it features a convenient meter, which displays voltage, frequency and lifetime hours. To offer you even more control and easy operation during nighttime, the panel is LED-lit.

In addition to this info, when the oil level is too low, you will be informed by the featured light indicator.

A built-in fuel gauge allows for a quick, easy and convenient check of the fuel level of the generator.

Security-wise, this product benefits from an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, which gives you a complete peace of mind when using it.

The P03631 also benefits from Firman’s CO Alert carbon monoxide shutdown, which automatically shuts down the engine when harmful levels of carbon monoxide accumulate around the generator or a CO Alert fault occurs.
