With more than 40 years of performance
and quality second to none, Subaru
engines have earned a worldwide
reputation for high quality performance
and reliability. Here’s what the Subaru name
means to the market:
• With less recoil pulling force, an electronic ignition system and automatic
decompression, our engines offer easy starting every time.
• High power and torque, extended running time and high compression ratios
ensure premium performance in a broad range of applications.
• Designed with cast-iron cylinder liners, high carbon steel crankshaft supported
by steel ball bearings and an electronic low oil shut-off, Subaru engines are
built to last.
• With more than 4,500 Subaru dealers in North America and the support of
a 2-Year Limited Warranty, the strength of the Subaru network remains long
after the sale.
• Subaru engines meet or exceed EPA and California emission standards for
environmentally friendly operation.

Efficient Power Creation
While conventional generators produce one
AC sine wave per engine rotation, Subaru
inverter generators create more than 300 AC
sine waves per rotation. More electrical
power is produced by Subaru inverter
generators from each engine rotation.
However, the power produced must first be changed to the form needed to power electrical
appliances. This conversion is performed in two steps within the Subaru inverter module.
First, the electrical power is converted to DC power. Then the DC power is inverted by the
electronics of the inverter module to output very clean 120-Volt, 60-Hz AC power.

So rugged you’ll quickly find Subaru is the hardest working member
of your crew or your household. That’s why Subaru inverter generators
are backed by a full 2-Year Limited Warranty for both consumer
and commercial use. Here’s why we’re confident in our
generator brawn:
• High surge capacity allows for output as high as 120 percent
over rated power for up to 20 seconds
• Easy starting for demanding appliances and equipment, from
RV air conditioners to air compressors and power tools
• Embedded heat sensors monitor critical components and shut
off the power output when an overload condition is sensed
• Multi-Monitor displays the generator performance: voltage,
frequency, hours of operation and overload condition
• Subaru industrial grade engine ensures
optimum performance

So quiet you’ll hardly know Subaru is at work for you. Here’s why:
• A fully enclosed design with sound attenuating resin panels
featuring foam lining and a steel base equipped with sound
absorbing lining
• Three-layer steel fuel tank
• Auto-Power System adjusts the engine speed to meet
power requirement
• Extra large muffler
The new inverter technology by Subaru offers you a new way to
reach your power objectives — a clean, safe and quiet alternative.
Here’s what inverter generators have to offer:
• Clean and stable power for sensitive electronic
equipment, including computers, consumer
electronics and electronic tools
• A lighter and more compact generator design
• Increased efficiency, which reduces fuel consumption,
extending time between refueling
