Storm Safety Tips to Protect Your Family

Posted on: January 26th, 2023 by Mi-T-M | No Comments

With ever-changing weather patterns, from snow in Texas and extreme heat in Oregon, it is always good to have a plan before unpredicted weather arrives.

Spring, summer and fall all come with the opportunity for severe storm threats. Depending on where you live, those threats come in the form of tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and a phenomenon called a derecho, producing winds that can reach over 100 miles per hour. Iowa experienced a devastating derecho in August of 2020 that left 400,000 without power for weeks.

Winter storms produce strong winds, heavy snow and ice that can take power lines down, resulting in the loss of electricity for hours or several days. Combined with the extreme cold that often accompanies winter storms, not having a plan in place could put your family at great risk.

Planning ahead will give you peace of mind that your family will know what to do when storms hit. In the case of floods and hurricanes, follow the directions of your local Emergency Management Teams and seek shelter. Here are some precautions to consider for your home.

  1. Make sure all phones are charged and you have extra batteries for radios, flashlights and lanterns.
  2. Always have an extra supply of water. Before and after storms hit, water shortages are very common.
  3. Keep a stock of nonperishable foods in your pantry.
  4. Consider the individual needs of each family member, including medications and plan ahead.
  5. Make sure you have extra blankets, coats, mittens and warm hats accessible for your family.

The above is just a short list of precautions. Where you live and your family’s unique needs should be considered as you make your plans.  For those who cannot be without power for any length of time, you may want to consider investing in a generator.

Generators are available in many sizes and price ranges. The size of a generator is measured in wattages and that is what you will use to determine what you can safely power with the generator you choose.

Mi-T-M manufactures a wide range of inverter and portable generators. Inverter generators offer clean power for sensitive equipment such as cell phones, laptops and medical equipment. Portable generators can not only be used as a backup generator when you lose power, but are most found in commercial and industrial construction settings. All generators manufactured by Mi-T-M are gas or diesel powered and therefore cannot be used indoors. Although, many come with a built-in CO detector and automatic shutdown, no generator should ever be used indoors. Make sure they are always running in a well-ventilated area.

CO Detection

To help you determine which size generator is best for your needs check out this reference guide.

Those who not only lose power, but are also subjected to extreme cold, may want to also consider investing in a propane or kerosene portable heater. Mi-T-M manufactures a full line of forced air and radiant heaters that can be essential if a winter storm not only knocks out power, but leaves you stranded because of huge snowfalls and ice accumulations. Because of the danger of carbon monoxide build up, never operate these portable heaters indoors or without proper ventilation.

Extreme weather is usually unpredictable and hopefully these tips will help you prepare for whatever comes your way. If you find yourself in the market for a Mi-T-M generator or portable heater, contact our sales support team at 800-553-9053 or find a dealer near you, and they can help you find the best solution for your needs.

Generator Maintenance

Posted on: December 31st, 2022 by Mi-T-M | 1 Comment

Maintaining Your Mi-T-M Generator

Whether your generator is used on a jobsite or needed during an emergency, you want your generator to be in its best working condition. Regular cleaning and maintenance of your generator will ensure a long life, so you can have reliable power every time.

Generator Maintenance Tips

The main steps to generator maintenance include:

  • Cleaning the Exterior
  • Overall Inspection
  • Changing Oil & Cleaning Air Filters
  • Checking Spark Plug, Hoses, Etc.
  • Preparing for Storage

For your safety, make sure you have the generator in a well-ventilated area for cleaning and maintenance. Be sure you read the manual, as it is your go-to guide for your specific Mi-T-M generator model! The manual provides maintenance details, including a periodic chart, so you know how often everything needs checked and maintained. Following the maintenance guidelines and directions help you get the most out of your Mi-T-M generator for years to come.

For basic maintenance, gather all your supplies in advance. That includes rags, oil pan, fresh engine oil, warm soapy water for filter cleaning, your owner’s manual and gloves to protect your hands.

Cleaning Your Generator’s Exterior

The first step for optimal operation is a good cleaning. You will want to keep your generator clean and free of dust, dirt and grime. The best way to clean it is with dry rags or shop towels. It just takes a few minutes to wipe off the frame and panels to remove any surface dust and grime. Cleaning your generator’s exterior also allows you to inspect all parts of the generator to ensure they are all in working order.

You may use low pressure air to clean off dust, but do not use a water hose, sprayer or power washer to clean your generator. Using those allows water into the air intake and other areas, and the water will damage your generator.

Inspect Hoses, Fittings & Fuel Cap

Inspection is something anyone can do to maintain a generator. You should inspect it daily when in use, as well as, before use and after sitting in storage.

After you clean the generator, inspect the fuel hoses and fittings, fuel tank and fuel cap. Depending on what model you own, you may need to remove a side panel to access the inside of the generator unit. The carbon canister and mounting brackets should also get a close look. Tighten anything that is loose, such as the oil drain plug. Look for cracks, leaks or abnormal wear on the hoses and parts. To maintain your warranty and receive qualified Mi-T-M generator service, contact a service center to replace any parts, as needed.

Changing the Air Filter & Oil

As with any gas engine, one of the key factors to generator maintenance involves regular oil changes and a clean air filter. These tasks are especially important if you run your generator in a dusty, dirty environment, such as a construction site or shop.

First, let’s review the oil change process. The oil should be changed after the first 20 hours of operation, then every 100 hours after that. You should make a regular practice of checking the oil level before starting the generator.

When you are ready to change the oil, stop the engine and get an oil pan ready. Drain the oil, then put the oil drain plug back. Following the instructions for your Mi-T-M generator model, refill the oil with the proper type of oil to the oil level indicated. Wipe up any oil spills around or on the generator, and recycle the old oil at your solid waste agency.

The air filter plays an important role in the efficiency of the generator. If it is dirty, that will make the generator work harder and use more fuel, so cleaning is key when it has a heavy buildup of dust. To access the air filter, you’ll need to unscrew the air cleaner cover and pull out the foam filter. Foam air filters can be washed in warm, soapy water, rinsed and then squeezed to help it dry. Let it air dry, then lightly coat with new engine oil, squeeze out excess oil and replace the filter.

Spark plugs and spark arrestor should also be checked frequently for carbon buildup. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it using a plug cleaner or wire brush. Check the spark plug type and spark plug gap according to your generator model’s manual. Replace with a new spark plug as needed.

The spark arrestor should be looked at every 100 hours or so. It is close to the exhaust, so perform this check when the unit is cool. Once removed, you can brush off carbon deposits on the spark arrestor screen and inspect it for breaks or tears.

If you can’t make time in your workday to check and clean spark plugs, contact a Mi-T-M service center to schedule an appointment with a technician. It’s a good idea to have a professional check out anything you have a question about before you put your generator to use or in storage.

Prepare for Storage

Many Mi-T-M generator owners only use their generator when needed for emergencies or short-term use on a remote jobsite where utility access isn’t readily available. Be sure to prepare your generator for short-term storage (less than 6 months) or long-term storage. For both lengths of storage, the first step is to add a gasoline stabilizer according to the directions.

  • For short-term storage

    Run the unit for at least two minutes to mix the fuel and stabilizer. Close the fuel valve and run your generator until it stops.

  • For long-term storage

    Run the generator until the fuel is completely gone from the fuel tank and carburetor. As the engine begins to die, move the choke lever to the CHOKE position.

Finally, clean and protect the exterior of the generator and store it in a dry, well-ventilated location.

Refer to your Mi-T-M generator manual or reach out to a Mi-T-M service center for details about keeping your generator running when you need it the most.

The following guide is intended to give you information necessary to make the best purchasing decision possible. Take a moment to learn about the many benefits of purchasing a Mi-T-M  product.

Pressure Washers:

We take pride in owning nice things, but cleaning and maintaining them is sometimes a pain. One of the most enjoyable cleaning methods around any home is with a pressure washer! Pressure washers make tough cleaning jobs easy by blasting away grease, dirt and grime quickly and efficiently.Pressure washers can be used around the home on siding, sidewalks, garage floors, driveways, decks, playhouses and much more. Using a pressure washer to clean will help to breathe life back into a variety of surfaces, giving your home a newer and cleaner feel.

Pressure washers come in a variety of styles, as well as electric or gas powered. If there are cleaning jobs to take care of indoors, the electric pressure washer is the best option as it is exhaust-free. If you’re looking for something that travels well, you’ll want to look into the hand-carry and portable units.

If the recipient of the gift already has a pressure washer, maybe now is a great time to upgrade their unit. Mi-T-M  products are built to perform and built to last. Many businesses offer great incentives on certain products, so keep an eye open for your opportunity to purchase an upgrade at a store near you.

Generators:

Sometimes the best gifts are the ones you’ve been wanting or needing, but haven’t gotten around to purchasing quite yet. An item that nearly everyone could use is a generator. A generator is perfect for home, camping or other recreational activities enjoyed throughout the year. You’ll be faced with two main options when looking for generators: traditional generators and inverter generators.

Inverter Generator

Inverter generators are much quieter than traditional generators. Mi-T-M ’s new line of inverters are equipped with carbon monoxide detection and automatic shut-off if CO levels become unsafe. They feature inverter technology and provide reliable clean power for sensitive electronics.
Generators are great for recreational use, such as powering lights and TVs at a tailgate, as well as emergency back-up power.   Mi-T-M generators are powerful enough to act as a backup power source in case a home’s electricity ever goes out.

These handy generators are easily transportable.

Whether it’s for construction, auto maintenance, cleaning, etc. an air compressor is a great addition to any workshop or garage.

There are a variety of air compressors that meet a wide range of needs. Mi-T-M air compressors are available in portable and hand-carry models and the tanks can range in size from 3 to 120-gallons. The most important part of choosing an air compressor is knowing whether it will be used indoors or outdoors. An electric compressor can be safely used inside and out, as opposed to a gas compressor that should only be used outside and in well-ventilated areas. To get expert advice on which compressor best fits your recipient’s needs, contact a Mi-T-M dealer near you.

Propane Patio Heaters:

Give the gift of quality time spent with family and friends under the warm glow of a Mi-T-M propane patio heater.

summer storm preparedness

Plan. Backup Plan. Backup-Backup Plan.

Planning and preparing are the best ways to get ahead of severe weather season.  Knowing what to do in the event of a storm emergency caused by a tornado, hurricane, tsunami, flash-flooding, mud-slide, earthquake and anything in-between can mean the difference between life, death, or severe injury.

Here are some things to consider, depending on the type of severe weather you experience:

  • Have a list of items to gather quickly, such as survival gear, food, water, medicine, and pet supplies to take to your family’s shelter or take with you during an evacuation
  • Have a planned meeting location if you get separated
  • Plan for short power outages by having battery operated devices ready to go, such as flashlights and cell phones
  • Have a battery-operated radio to get updated weather information
  • Discuss the plan with all of your family members

The spring and summer storm seasons are always unpredictable, so start these preparations soon. Check out the following tips and get ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at you!

Portable Generators and Proper Wattage for Different Appliances

Your electricity just got knocked out by a storm. How long will you be in the dark? The freezer, TV, sump-pump, and all other major appliances have stopped working. Your food may thaw, your basement may flood, and your phone may lose power. What are you going to do? Purchase a Mi-T-M portable generator and never worry about power again!

When it comes to electricity, nothing is more truthful than the saying “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.” We can’t control the weather, but we can help you plan ahead and prepare for emergencies. Mi-T-M sells a large array of equipment that helps homeowners stay safe during storms and power outages. How? Our generators convert mechanical energy into electricity. Our unique inverters are designed with inverter technology for reduced size, weight, noise, and fuel consumption.

Our generators come in many sizes—from 2,000 watts to 14,000 watts— including portable generators for residential use and commercial models. These rugged machines provide safe and reliable backup for your home electrical needs. Different appliances require different levels of wattage as this graphic shows.

Do You Rely on At-Home Medical Equipment?

When you or a loved one rely on electricity for assistive technology and medical devices, a power outage is more than an inconvenience. It can be life-threatening.  First, always keep your medical devices in good working order and charged up, if possible.  Second, find out if the devices can be connected to a generator or an inverter without being harmed. And last, contact your local electric utility and EMS provider, and alert them that there is a medical device in your home that needs electricity.  When they know someone dependent on electricity for medical devices is in the area, they will attempt to restore power there faster.

However, storms aren’t the only things that cause power failures.  A Mi-T-M portable generator or inverter is a worthwhile investment when you or a loved one is dependent on electric medical devices.

 

Keep Your Business Open During a Power Outage

If you’re a small business owner, a Mi-T-M portable generator could keep your doors open during a power outage. If your inventory includes perishables, a generator is truly a necessity.  Contact Mi-T-M or one of our dealers to find out exactly what type of generator will keep you in business during a power outage.

Is Bigger Better?

Think about your electrical needs during a power outage.

  • What are your “electric essentials?”
  • Calculate the total wattage of all the appliances you wish to use—wattage can be located on each unit’s nameplate or found on the manufacturer’s website—then multiply that number by three.

The total will tell you what size generator you need.

You’ll need to put serious thought into what the conditions will be like when you lose power, which will help you determine your final purchase. Will the generator be a short-term solution for outages caused by lightning or a long-term solution for power-grid damage caused by earthquakes? Will it power your entire home or just a few devices? Our smallest units can easily power lights, your phone charger, and/or appliances like your radio. Larger generator units, for example, can keep your refrigerator and sump pump running while allowing you to watch TV to get crucial news. Regardless of size, Mi-T-M’s portable generators and inverter units provide the power you need and the peace of mind you desire.

After the Storm

Storm debris clean-up can be a big job but first, be sure to document all the storm damage before you start the clean-up process.  Unfortunately, if you need to use a chainsaw, the sawdust mess is almost worse.   Use a Mi-T-M pressure washer appropriately around your home or business to quickly remove sawdust, leaves and small branches from sidewalks, driveways, and vehicles.  Whether the job requires hot-water washing, cold-water washing, high or low pressure, a powerful gas engine or a quiet, electric engine, Mi-T-M has the right pressure washer for you.

While quickly removing unwanted water, a portable Mi-T-M water pump can also pump out storm debris and waste, depending on the model and size.  They’re gasoline powered, so you can start clean-up without electricity. There’s no need to set up a bucket brigade to get flood water out of your home or business-just use a dependable and compact Mi-T-M water pump.
