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-Farce series engines are purpose built and designed to handle the rigors of
extended run times in high temperatures and extreme operating conditions.
T; 2]i-DLO3'r: 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.
