Features

Engine

  • GENERAC G-FORCE DESIGN: Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly rings helps the engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption resulting in longer engine life.
  • QUIET-TEST™: Greatly reduces sound output and fuel consumption during bi-weekly exercise.
  • “SPINY-LOK” CAST IRON CYLINDER WALLS: Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
  • ELECTRONIC IGNITION / SPARK ADVANCE: These features combine to assure smooth, quick starting every time.
  • FULL PRESSURE LUBRICATION SYSTEM: 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.
  • LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN SYSTEM: Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
  • HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN: Prevents damage due to overheating.

Evolution™ Controls

  • TWO-LINE LCD MULTILINGUAL DISPLAY: Provides homeowners easily visible logs of history, maintenance and events up to 50 occurrences.
  • AUTO / MANUAL / OFF ILLUMINATED BUTTONS: Selects the operating mode and provides easy, at-a-glance status indication in any condition.
  • SEALED, RAISED BUTTONS: Smooth, weather-resistant user interface for programming and operations.
  • UTILITY VOLTAGE SENSING: Constantly monitors utility voltage, defaults 132 V dropout, 175 V pick up.
  • GENERATOR VOLTAGE SENSING: Constantly monitors generator voltage to ensure the cleanest power delivered to the home.
  • UTILITY INTERRUPT DELAY: Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, adjustable 2-1500 seconds from the factory default setting of 5 seconds by a qualified dealer.
  • ENGINE WARM-UP: Ensures engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
  • ENGINE COOL-DOWN: Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute.
  • PROGRAMMABLE EXERCISE: Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages by running the generator for 5 minutes every other week. Also offers a selectable setting for weekly or monthly operation providing flexibility and potentially lower fuel costs to the owner.
  • 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.
  • ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR: Maintains constant 60 Hz frequency.
