20/22/24 kW Features and Benefits

Engine
Generac G-Force design Maximizes engine “breathing” for increased fuel efficiency. Plateau honed cylinder walls and plasma moly
rings help the engine run cooler, reducing oil consumption and resulting in longer engine life.
“Spiny-lok” cast iron cylinder walls Rigid construction and added durability provide long engine life.
Electronic ignition/spark advance These features combine to assure smooth, quick starting every time.
Full pressure lubrication system Pressurized lubrication to all vital bearings means better performance, less maintenance, and longer engine
2 of 6 life. Now featuring up to a 2 year/200 hour oil change interval.
