Key Features
Powerful 15,000 Starting Watts and 12,000 Running Watts
Designed to deliver substantial power for residential backup and demanding work environments. It can support a range of appliances and equipment, including refrigerators, sump pumps, window air conditioners, furnace blowers, well pumps, microwaves, computers, televisions, and security systems, subject to their starting and running power requirements.
717cc Milwaukee Series V-Twin Engine
The large-displacement Milwaukee Series V-Twin engine is engineered for demanding power needs. Its 90-degree V-Twin configuration promotes balanced operation and reduced vibration, while the cooling fan supports airflow and helps manage operating noise.
Convenient Electric Start
Start the generator using the electric-start system and included battery, reducing the effort required compared with a recoil-only starting system.
Cold Start Technology
Designed to help provide reliable starting in cold weather, making the generator more convenient to use when temperatures drop.
Intelligauge Monitoring
Keep track of essential operating information with the built-in Intelligauge, which monitors:
- Voltage
- Frequency
- Operating hours
Volt Guard™ Surge Protection
The integrated Volt Guard™ system helps protect connected equipment from power surges and overload-related risks.
CO Shield® Carbon Monoxide Auto Shutoff
CO Shield® monitors carbon monoxide accumulation and automatically shuts down the engine if unsafe elevated CO levels are detected.
Important: CO Shield® is an additional safety feature, not a replacement for a carbon monoxide alarm or safe generator operation.
Durable, Portable Construction
Move and position the generator more conveniently with its rugged steel frame and practical mobility features.
- Integrated lift hook for lifting and loading
- Foldaway U-shaped handle
- Never-flat tires
- Protective covers over all outlets
Low-Oil Shutoff Protection
A low-oil sensor automatically shuts down the engine when oil levels become dangerously low, helping protect the engine from damage.
Gasoline Operation and Extended Runtime
The 11-gallon gasoline tank provides up to 9 hours of operation at 50% load, according to the supplied specifications. Actual runtime varies with the connected load, operating conditions, and maintenance.
