FEATURES O INNOVATIVE ENGINE DESIGN & RIGOROUS TESTING and at the heart of Generac's O success in providing the most reliable generators possible. Generac's G-Force engine lineup offers added peace of mind and reliability for when you need it the most. The G-Force series engines are purpose built and designed to handle the rigors of extended run times in high temperatures and extreme operating conditions. O TRUE POWER'" ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY: Superior harmonics and sine wave O form produce less than 5% Total Harmonic Distortion for utility quality power. This allows confident operation of sensitive electronic equipment and micro -chip based appliances, such as variable speed HVAC systems. SOLID-STATE, FREQUENCY COMPENSATED VOLTAGE REGULATION: This state-of-the-art power maximizing regulation system is standard on all Generac models. It provides optimized FAST RESPONSE to changing load conditions and MAXIMUM MOTOR STARTING CAPABILITY by electronically torque -matching the surge loads to the engine. Digital voltage regulation at ±1%. SINGLE SOURCE SERVICE RESPONSE from Generac's extensive dealer network provides parts and service know-how for the entire unit, from the engine to the smallest electronic component. O TEST CRITERIA: O GENERAC TRANSFER SWITCHES: Long life and reliability are PROTOTYPE TESTED V NEMA MG11-22 EVALUATION synonymous with GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS. One reason for this V SYSTEM TORSIONAL TESTED d MOTOR STARTING ABILITY confidence is that the GENERAC product line includes its own transfer systems and controls for total system compatibility. w G E N E R AC I— PROMISE Link w s10NEP�P `L,aHNA� •awtt m uro usa mme eomasec one m.aren Dons.

Also offersselectable setting for weekly or monthly operation providing flexibility and potentially lower fuel costs to the owner. la • Smart battery charger Delivers charge to the battery only when needed at varying rates depending on outdoor air temperature. Compatible with lead acid and AGM -style batteries. • Main line circuit breaker Protects generator from overload. • Electronic governor Maintains constant 60 Hzl frequency. Unit • SAE weather protective enclosure • Enclosed critical grade muffler • Small, compact, attractive Installation System • 1 ft (305 mm) flexible fuel line connector • Direct -to -dirt composite mounting pad 0 Integral sediment trap Sound attenuated enclosures ensure quiet operation and protection against mother nature, withstanding winds up to 150 mph. Hinged key locking hoof panel for security. Lift -out front for easy access to all routine maintenance items. Electrostat- ically applied textured epoxy paint for added durability. Quiet, critical grade muffler is mounted inside the unit to prevent injuries. Makes for an easy, eye appealing installation, as close as 18" away from a building. Absorbs any generator vibration when connected to rigid pipe. Complex lattice design prevents settling or sinking of the generator system. Prevents particles and moisture from entering the fuel regulator and engine, prolonging engine life.
