- 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 life. Now featuring up to a 2 year/200 hour oil change interval.
- Low oil pressure shutdown system: Shutdown protection prevents catastrophic engine damage due to low oil.
- EPA Certified for non-emergency applications: Allows unit to be used for demand response applications.
- High temperature shutdown: Prevents damage due to overheating.
Generator
- Revolving field: Allows for a smaller, light weight unit that operates 25% more efficiently than a revolving armature generator.
- Displaced phase excitation: Maximizes motor starting capability.

- Two-line multilingual LCD: Provides homeowners easily visible logs of history, maintenance, and events up to 50 occurrences.
- Sealed, raised buttons: Smooth, weather-resistant user interface for programming and operations.
- Utility voltage sensing: Constantly monitors utility voltage, setpoints 65% dropout, 80% pick-up, of standard voltage.
- Generator voltage sensing: Constantly monitors generator voltage to verify the cleanest power delivered to the home.
- Utility interrupt delay: Prevents nuisance start-ups of the engine, adjustable 2-1500 seconds from the factory default setting of 5 seconds by a qualified dealer.
- Engine warm-up: Verifies engine is ready to assume the load, setpoint approximately 5 seconds.
- Engine cool-down: Allows engine to cool prior to shutdown, setpoint approximately 1 minute.
- Programmable exercise: Operates engine to prevent oil seal drying and damage between power outages by running the generator for 5 minutes every other week. Also offers a selectable setting for weekly or monthly operation providing flexibility and potentially lower fuel costs to the owner.
- Smart battery charger: Delivers charge to the battery only when needed at varying rates depending on outdoor air temperature. Compatible with lead acid and AGM-style batteries.
- Main line circuit breaker: Protects generator from overload.
- Electronic governor: Maintains constant 60 Hz frequency
