Air-cooled home backup generator that runs on a Generac 816cc G-Force twin-cylinder engine with a 3600 RPM max. The aluminum cylinder block and sturdy casing make it very durable
                
The model features a dual-fuel carburetion system that runs on liquid propane or natural gas. It produces 18,000 watts on LP and 17,000 on natural gas. Changing from LP to natural gas is easy
                
The oil tank stores up to 2.2 quarts / 2.1 liters of oil. The full pressure oil lubrication system allows the engine to run efficiently for long hours. It will also extend the maintenance intervals
                
The automatic transfer switch has a NEMA/UL 3R aluminum enclosure and can be installed both indoors and outdoors
                
Choose from 100amp 16-circuit switch or a 200amp service rated smart switch
                
The ATS features smart management modules to manage power for air-conditioners and similar heavy loads
                
Smart Management Module manages up to 4 air conditioners efficiently. The load management system protects the engine from overload so the generator never shuts down when you need it the most.
                
G-Flex variable speed technology allows the air-cooled gas engine to operate at various speeds to adjust to the changing load conditions
                
This all-new Guardian 7226 generator can power up air conditioners, refrigerators, furnaces, sump pumps, microwaves, computers, monitors, TV, lights, and more
                
TRUE POWER TECHNOLOGY makes it perfect for use with modern electronics and appliances with micro-circuitry such as HVACs, refrigerators, laptops, cell phones, and tablets
