Mike,
 What do you mean by 'setting up' the generator? There's usually not much to 
do with a portable generator except fuel it and go. Important points:
It should be obvious that it needs to have good ventilation; I can't believe 
how many folks try to run them in the basement and die because of carbon 
monoxide poisoning. Don't ever fuel it while it's running, of course, and 
watch the oil level carefully. (another good reason to shut it down while 
fueling) Keep it right up to the 'full' mark on oil if you want it to last.
It's best to run extension cords to the appliances you need to operate with 
the generator, being careful of the current draw and especially starting 
load. Many well pumps won't start on a normal home-sized generator and will 
burn out the motor if you try.

I heard the linemen from as far away as Hawaii were called into the NE for 
repairs.
