In the upcoming sections, you'll discover its power characteristics, the array of outlets it presents, its overall portability, and the additional features it possesses.

Power & Run Time

Featuring a 208 cc Firman Max-Pro Series OHV 4-stroke engine with cast iron sleeve, the Firman P03631 operates using gasoline, providing 120/240V, with a running wattage of 3,650W and a starting wattage of 4,450W.

Enjoying a noise rating of 75 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a vacuum cleaner), this generator can be started thanks to a manual recoil starter system, but also to a no-fuss and convenient electric starter (battery included). Furthermore, the P03631 can be remotely started, providing users with added ease of use (key fob included).

Thanks to a fuel capacity of 5 gallons, the P03631 can operate for around 14 hours at 50% load with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.36 GPH).

The quite high THD (<25%) of the P03631 makes it unsuitable for powering sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

The control panel includes the following 4 AC outlets:

It also sports 3 DC outlets: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which you may charge your batteries with ease and two 5V USB ports (USB-A) ideal for charging various electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets.

This Firman generator is RV Ready, as it features a TT-30R receptacle (TT stands for 'Travel Trailer'). In addition, equipped with a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the P03631 is engineered to be transfer switch ready, enabling simple hookup to your breaker box to provide backup power for your home during blackouts.

Portability

With a size of L24.8 x W21.7 x H21.7 in, the Firman P03631 features an open frame design, providing stability and simplified maintenance access to components, enhancing air circulation. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.

Despite its weight of 119.5 lbs, the generator is still considered 'portable,' meaning it is movable, although its heftiness may restrict portability in certain environments or require additional considerations for transportation and setup. However, the lack of maneuverability can be offset with its wheel kit (⌀8") and its folding handle, which allows for convenient shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.

Features

The P03631's control panel

The control panel of the P03631 is equipped with a convenient meter showing you voltage, frequency and lifetime hours, aiding in monitoring its status and activity. To offer you even more control and easy operation during nighttime, the panel is LED-lit.

In addition to this info, the device’s light indicator will display if the oil level is too low.

A built-in fuel gauge allows for a quick, easy and convenient check of the fuel level of the generator.

From a security standpoint, the generator is furnished with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, ensuring peace of mind during operation.

The P03631 also benefits from Firman’s CO Alert carbon monoxide shutdown, which automatically shuts down the engine when harmful levels of carbon monoxide accumulate around the generator or a CO Alert fault occurs.

Apart from the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to facilitate setup, the Firman P03631 features extra accessories: key fob, funnel, tool kit and oil.
