INNOVATIVE ENGINE DESIGN & RIGOROUS TESTING are at the heart of Generac’s 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.
TRUE POWER™ ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY: Superior harmonics and sine wave 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.

MOBILE LINK™ WI-FI CONNECTIVITY: FREE with select Guardian Series home standby generators, Mobile Link Wi-Fi allows users to monitor the status of the generator from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Easily access information such as the current operating status and maintenance alerts. Users can connect an account to an authorized service dealer for fast, friendly, and proactive service. With Mobile Link, users are taken care of before the next power outage.
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.
GENERAC TRANSFER SWITCHES: Long life and reliability are synonymous with GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS. One reason for this confidence is the GENERAC product line is offered with its own transfer systems and controls for total system compatibility.

Features and Benefits
Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings help the engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption and resulting in longer engine life.
Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life. These features combine to assure smooth, quick starting every time.
Pressurized lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance, and longer engine life. Now featuring up to a 2 year/200 hour oil change interval.
Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil. Prevents damage due to overheating.
Allows for a smaller, light weight unit that operates 25% more efficiently than a revolving armature generator.
Produces a smooth output waveform for compatibility with electronic equipment. Maximizes motor starting capability.
Regulating output voltage to ±1% prevents damaging voltage spikes. For your safety.
Transfers vital electrical loads to the energized source of power.
Can be installed inside or outside for maximum flexibility.
Mounts near an existing distribution panel for simple, low-cost installation.
Select the operating mode and provide easy, at-a-glance status indication in any condition. Provides homeowners easily visible logs of history, maintenance, and events up to 50 occurrences. Smooth, weather-resistant user interface for programming and operations.
Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 80% pick-up, of standard voltage. Constantly monitors generator voltage to verify the cleanest power is delivered to the home.
Prevents nuisance startups of the engine, adjustable 2–1500 seconds from the factory default setting of 5 seconds by a qualified dealer.
Verifies engine is ready to assume the load. Setpoint approximately 5 seconds. Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown. Setpoint approximately 1 minute.
Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages by running the generator for 5 minutes every other week. Offers a selectable setting for weekly or monthly operation, providing flexibility and potentially lower fuel costs to the owner.
Delivers charge to the battery only when needed at varying rates depending on outdoor air temperature. Compatible with lead acid and AGM-style batteries.
Protects generator from overload. Maintains constant 60 Hz frequency.
Sound attenuated enclosures ensure quiet operation and protection against mother nature, withstanding winds up to 150 mph (241 km/h). Hinged key locking roof panel for security. Lift-out front for easy access to all routine maintenance items. Electrostatically 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 in (457 mm) away from a structure.
