It's here

...Great !!!...just in time for your storms too... ....what's her name?....Gladys?.....as in 'glad-ass' ?  nyuk nyuk nyuk...

[LizStreithorst]

I don't know what I'll name it yet.  I don't even know yet if it's male or female.  I have a feeling that it will be male.

I won't name it Gladys.  Gladys was my number one dog for 14 years.  She was a 3 legged one eyed Pitt Bull.  She got cancer and I had to have her put to sleep.  Her nick names were Gladys Happy Bottom and Gladys Waggin'ass.  She had a shortish tail and when she wagged her whole butt would go back and forth.

I hope I got it unloaded today...still lots of time...but I took myself out for an early meal and ate more than I ever eat.  I need a nap now

Machines/motors are female...Jan's aunt Gladys was called 'happy bottoms' too....you're right, that name won't do....possibly something like 'Martha'

I got it unloaded and unpacked.  I had to remove a block of wood and a metal shipping brace and the brace was on so tight I couldn't budge it with my little 10mm wrench.  It's getting dark and I won't be able to see well enough to root around in the tool box for a socket and extension.  I'll do it tomorrow.

No owner's manual (?) and more importantly, no key

The key is either in the manual packet, or taped to the unit itself....

I looked it up and found that out.  Unfortunately  it arrived without an owners manual 

[LizStreithorst]

I have contacted the seller

See if a local generator repair show has a 'temp' fix to run it??....worth a phone call try...jump it??

[Mugwump]

..and look through the crate/box again...under it?....stuck to the packaging??....inside pkg slip envelope taped on the side??...

[LizStreithorst]

I'll look again when it's light out.

No key   I had to wait until I put the wheel kit on to know for very very sure.  It was behind Charlotte sitting on it's box which I had taken apart.  It's too heavy for me just to lift up and move until I got the wheels on.  After I moved it I looked on both sides of everything an there was no key.  It must have been in with the owners manual which wasn't sent either.  Oh well, I expect to hear from the seller Monday.

And you should have seen the pictures and instructions that came with the wheel kit.  The instructions were worthless and the pics were so bad you couldn't tell anything from them.  It was obvious where the handles had to go.  Once I saw that I was able to look at the other parts and figure it out on my own.  They sent a cheapo 15mm wrench with it but if I hadn't had a 1/2" ratchet and a 10 mm socket I couldn't have done it.

I won't be able to name it until I crank it up and put it into use.
