GUARDIAN air-cooled standby generators are designed to supply electricity to pre-selected circuits in the event of a utility power outage. The pre-wired, pre-packaged system makes installation easy and affordable. That's why GUARDIAN is the #1 Selling Home Standby Generator on the Market.Models run on natural gas or liquid propane gas. |
| • Breakthrough Design: Creates the greatest starting power to run the items that matter most (13kW model starts a 4-ton A/C and the 10kW starts a 3-ton unit) |
| • Generac OHVI® Industrial Engine: The longest life design and most horsepower in its class |
|
• Electronic Governor: Maintains steady speed and eliminates voltage drop when loads are applied (10kW and 13kW models) |
|
• Circuit Coverage: Protects 12, 10 or 8 circuits of your home (13, 10 and 7kW models respectively) |
| • Superior Paint: Tough paint finish for unmatched durability |
| • Easy Installation: complete pre-packaged, pre-wired system

| INNOVATIVE DESIGN & ROTOTYPE TESTING are key components of GENERACS success in IMPROVING POWER BY DESIGN. But it doesn't stop there. Total commitment to component testing, reliability testing, environmental testing, destruction and life testing, plus testing to applicable CSA, NEMA, EGSA, and other standards, allows you to choose GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS with the confidence that these systems will provide superior performance. | 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. | ||
| TEST CRITERIA: >PROTOTYPE TESTED | SINGLE SOURCE SERVICE RESPONSE from Generac's dealer network provides parts and service know-how for the entire unit, from the engine to the smallest electronic component. You are never on your own when you own a GENERAC POWER SYSTEM. | ||
| SYSTEM TORSIONAL TESTED > NEMA MG1-22 EVALUATION > MOTOR STARTING ABILITY | GENERAC TRANSFER SWITCHES. Long life and reliability are synonymous with GENERAC POWER SYSTEMS. One reason for this confidence is that the GENERAC product line includes its own transfer systems and controls for total system compatibility. |

| ENGINE •Generac (OHVI) Design •”Spiny-lok” cast iron cylinder walls •Electronic ignition, spark advance and compression release •Full pressure lubrication system •Low oil pressure shutdown system •High temperature shutdown | Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Cylinder walls 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. These features combine to assure smooth, quick starting every time. Superior lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance and significantly longer engine life. 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 •UL 2200 Listed | 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. Provides more surge capability than brushless generator designs. Regulates the output voltage to ±2% prevents damaging voltage spikes. For your safety |
| TRANSFERSWITCH •Fully Automatic •Remote Mounting •UL Listed | Transfers your vital electrical loads to the energized source of power. Mounts near your existing distribution panel for simple, low cost installation. For your safety |
| MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL •Manual/Auto/Off switch •Utility voltage sensing •Utility interrupt delay •Engine warm-up •Engine cool-down •Seven day exerciser •Timed Trickle Battery charger •Main Line Circuit Breaker | Selects the operating mode. Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 60% dropout, 70% pick-up, of standard voltage. Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, set point 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 amperage to insure starting. Protects generator from overload. |
| •Weather protective enclosure •Enclosed critical grade muffler •Small, compact, attractive UNIT | 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. |
| INSTALLATION SYSTEM •Pre-wired External Connection Box •1’ Flexible Fuel Line •Composite Mounting Pad •Pre-wired conduits •UL Listed wire nuts | Easy Installation - Virtually all hardware included, plus step-by-step photographed Installation Guide. |
