will it run off of a generator?

It will run off a generator however the generator has to be big enough to maintain the power of a 15 amp 120V ac circuit.

No, it would overheat the generator. It would also get in the way of plugging in the power cords, and refueling. It is a storage cover.

It depends on how much your generator is rated. If it can supply 1800w continuously, then yes. The tool is rated 1750w. Any generator output rated 2000w or more will give a good safe margin to run.

Yes it should. Might want to turn off any thing else runing off generator For startup of ac it Draws a lot of power to start after that no problem.

The generator will run in the rain and snow but keep in mind electricity and water don't mix. I suggest you run it on a covered porch, build a small open air pole barn or run it in a shed but be sure to exhaust the engine fumes outside. As for moving the unit around its generally not a problem with the wheels and handle for an average size adult depending on the terrain you're pulling it over.

Yes..it operates using a nice little battery,and uses a pull cord for backup..but the battery should be charged using the included charger probably 5-6 times a year depending on equipment use.You should know that running the generator does not charge the battery.Luckily,even though I've had the generator for just about a year,I've never lost power!

If the generator has an outlet that you can plug the battery charging station into, yes.

I own this unit. It has relatively modest power needs (less than 100w), but power is used for more than just the electronic ignition. There's also the electronic control system and an active venting system (i.e. a fan) that uses electricity. You could easily power this off a small generator or a battery system when in use as long as it can provide stable current. (Note: I have no idea what the warranty states about running it off a battery, so do so at your own risk.)

Yes, and Yes. It is hard wired into the system and runs off of shore power. Unit shoule be off if you are running the trolling motor...unless you have a very long extension cord. :>)

It should have no problem if it draws less than 20 amps. I use my generator at times to run a similar unit and have power to spare on my camper. I think mine has a start up of 14 amps and settles in around 12 amps.

My apologies, I took the generator to a vacation home and have no means of finding out this information at this time. It's a nice generator though!

Doubtful. Depends on the size of the generator's wheels. It's stout enough but the gaps between the rungs would make it hard to push.

I would assume so. It plugs in to your electricity so as long as your generator is running it should work.

We have hooked ours up to leaf blowers, outdoor equipment, radios and a pop-up camper. Uses very little gas, it's quiet. Great generator !

Does not run on household Batteries. However with the right wire adjustment one would think that it can be modified to run off a generator or even a MV/MC battery. The power needed is to simply spin a wheel around. I say it worth the looking into. Peace~

As long as the generator is hooked up properly it should not be any problem. For computers, SOP is to use a surge protector.

It runs with electricity for the blower....it will not run in a power outage...and will have to be turned back on after the power comes back on.
