Hey Iggy,

I think I would remove, or at least REALLY hide the wheels. For one
thing, too easy to "get gone"; and for another, rubber tires don't
really like static exposure to the environment, especially ozone.
ArmorAll or brake fluid help.

Have you had a chance to run it in hot weather all covered-up? No
heat problems?

Take care.

the installed generator

Today, my FIL and myself moved the generator into its spot. It is
behind the house, very close to the electrical meter and the panel
inside. It is located next to the deck, which shields most of the
noise.

I measured noise with a sound level meter.

10 ft in front of the generator -- 73 dB.
Across the deck, near house -- 63 dB.
Inside the house -- can be barely heard, with effort

The piece of plywood that is behind the genset, goes in front of it
when the generator is to be run. It reduces noise by whopping 5 dB.

I told my neighbor who is facing the genset that if he needs a power
cord connected to my genset, he could do it.
