This was a great PSA! I’d say most owners of generators have no idea how they actually work, so this point is really well taken. <br>This is the first time I’ve actually seen any small engine YouTube creator mention this, so thanks very much!<br>If course I’m sure it’s in every owners manual to only operate on level ground, but we know how that goes. 😉<br><br>Do you have any idea why so many have had their feet removed?
