FEATURES Generac Standby Generator - 8 kVA - 10 kVA - 13 kVA
ENGINE
•Generac (OHVI) Design
•”Spiny-lok” cast iron cylinder walls
•Electronic ignition
•Full pressure lubrication system
•Low oil pressure shutdown system
•High temperature shutdown
Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma
moly rings help engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption. Because heat is the primary cause of
engine wear, the OHVI has a significantly longer life than competitive engines.
Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
This assures smooth, quick starting every time.
Superior lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance and
significantly longer engine life. Now featuring a 2 year/200 hour oil change interval.
Superior shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
Prevents damage due to overheating.
GENERATOR
•Revolving field
• Skewed stator
•Displaced phase excitation
•Automatic voltage regulation
Allows for 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.
Regulates the output voltage to ±2% prevents damaging voltage spikes.
CONTROLS
•Manual/Auto/Off switch
•Utility voltage sensing
•Utility interrupt delay
•Engine warm-up
•Engine cool-down
•Seven day exerciser
•Trickle Battery charger
•Main Line Circuit Breaker
•Electronic governor
Selects the operating mode.
Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 75% pick-up, of standard voltage.
Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, setpoint approximately 10 seconds.
Ensures engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 10 seconds.
Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute.
Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages.
Maintains battery charge level to insure starting.
Protects generator from overload.
Maintains constant 50 Hz frequency.
UNIT
•Weather protective enclosure
•Enclosed critical grade muffler
•Small, compact, attractive
•SAE
Ensures protection against mother nature. 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.
Sound attenuated enclosure ensures quiet operation.
INSTALLATION
SYSTEM
•1’ Flexible Fuel Line Connector
•Composite Mounting Pad
Easy Installation.

Rating definitions - All ratings in accordance with BS5514, ISO3046 and DIN6271. * Maximum wattage and current are subject to and limited by such factors as fuel Btu content, ambient temperature, altitude,
engine power and condition, etc.
Maximum power decreases about 3.5 percent for each 1,000 feet (304.8 meters) above sea level; and also will decrease about 1 percent for each 12° C (10° F) above 15.5° C (60°F).
