Generac 005518-1 Portable Generator User Manual


 
FEATURES Standby Generator - 8 kW - 10 kW - 14 kW
ENGINE
•Generac (OHVI) Design
•”Spiny-lok” cast iron cylinder walls
•Electronic ignition/spark advance
•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.
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. 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 rotor (8 & 10 kW)
Skewed stator (14 kW)
•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.
Regulates the output voltage to ±2% prevents damaging voltage spikes.
