Rating definitions - Standby: Applicable for supplying emergency power for the duration of the utility power outage. No overload capability is available for this rating. (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 above sea level; and also will decrease about 1 percent for each 6° C (10° F) above 16° C (60°F). Sound output ratings from certain points on the generator
subject to change based on installation parameters.

Generac's scheduled maintenance kits provide all the hardware necessary to
perform complete routine maintenance on a Generac automatic standby generator.
Scheduled Maintenance Kit
As off-grid energy systems continue to grow in size and capacity, it is becoming
more common to have a 240V instead of 120V only. This conversion kit allows
the EcoGen to be converted easily from a 120V system to a 240V system and still
maintain a full 6kW output.
