Power & Run Time

The Firman H05752

With its dual-fuel technology, the powerful and versatile Firman H05752 provides an output of 120/240V. While gasoline-powered, it gives a running wattage of 5,700W along with a peak wattage of 7,125W. While propane-powered, it provides 5,700 rated watts and 7,125 starting watts.

Enjoying a noise rating of 74 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a vacuum cleaner), this generator gets running thanks to a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism.

The running time of the H05752, with its 8 gallons fuel capacity, can reach around 12 hours at 50% load on a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.67 GPH). With propane, it can reach around 5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.94 GPH).

The H05752 is unsuitable for the powering of sensitive electronic devices due to its high THD (<25%).

Outlets

The control panel includes the following 6 AC outlets:

While not classified as 'RV Ready,' this Firman generator can still provides the advantage of RV connection via its L5-30R receptacle, ensuring power supply to your RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor.

Portability

Measuring L30.2 x W27.5 x H26.3 in, the classic open frame construction of the Firman H05752 provides stability while enabling convenient maintenance access to components and adequate air cooling. The design is ideal for rough environments and demanding outdoor use.

Despite its weight of 176.5 lbs, the generator is considered 'portable,' signifying its capability to be moved, albeit its heaviness may hinder easy transport. Nevertheless, the restricted maneuverability is counteracted by its wheel kit (⌀10") and its folding handle, enabling easy shifting once the generator is set in place.

Features

The H05752's status and activity may be monitored conveniently via the control panel, as it features a convenient meter, providing voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours data.

In addition to this info, a light indicator on the device will signal if its oil levels are insufficient.

Benefiting from its built-in fuel gauge, the generator allows for easy and immediate gas level inspections.

In terms of security, the generator features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, ensuring peace of mind during its use.
