Product details:
The WGen5500 offers a variety of premium, innovative features at a value that cannot be beat by comparable generator models. An intuitive control panel with conveniently located controls makes the WGen5500 easy to operate. Rubber covered GFCI power outlets provide additional protection from the environment and rugged conditions. Unlike comparable generator models, the WGen5500 sturdy hardened-steel frame features roll bars on the top of the unit that provide additional protection for the unit's 6.6 lbs. gas tank. The roll bars additionally offer a larger variety of options for transporting and securing the unit. The WGen5500 features a powerful Westinghouse engine that was designed with reliability and extended life in mind. Westinghouse engines incorporate overhead valve technology that allows the engine to run at lower temperatures and use less fuel than conventional side valve engines. A built-in automatic low oil shutdown protects the WGen5500 engine from damage by shutting the engine down if the oil level becomes dangerously low or if the oil overheats and loses viscosity. A digital hour meter on the control panel makes it easy to perform regular maintenance on the WGen5500, ensuring long-life and lasting utility.
