Power the fun stuff or cover an emergency with a Generac GP series portable generator. Generac's GP6500 is ideal for tailgating, camping, power tool use, and emergency home backup power. It has a low-tone muffler for quieter operation and an hour meter that tracks usage between maintenance sessions. The low oil shutdown feature detects low oil levels and if found, shuts down the engine to prevent any damage. The unique fold down hands and never flat wheels allow for extreme portability, and the heavy duty hardened steel tube cradle gives the generator extra strength and durability. The new covered circuit breaker protected outlets provide added protection from the environment and rugged working conditions. Affordable reliability and features not usually found on basic portable models makes these units a favorite for home use, camping, job sites or outdoor events. Model 5940 is not CARB (can not ship to state of California) or CSA compliant.
