Would Not RecommendHad this for less than 8 months and isn't worth my money. First of all the Lowes $600+ for this is nuts when you can buy it for a hundred dollars less. Second, for get about getting it started in the winter even when you run it every three to four weeks to get the break in period done. I took it to my Home and Garden center and there was nothing wrong with it ...because it was warm inside! It will not turn over unless it's indoors and warm. So $140 later that's what the problem is. It has high o...

This small plug has two small wires, one white and one gray. Add a toggle switch to the front panel and connect those wires to the switch. When the two wires are connected, economy mode is off. I suppose if you're selling a...
