Standby Generator Set
Briggs & Stratton® Home Standby
7000W rated, 10500W surge on LP
Runs on two gas grill tanks for 12 hours!

 

Need backup Power NOW but can't install an automatic standby generator?  This dual-mode generator is the unit for you!

This generator is similar to the automatic standby model but is shipped with a receptacle panel pre-installed plus a propane quick connect kit.  Just purchase two 20 lbs propane gas grill tanks, connect the hoses, start the unit and you have power!  Since it is not permanently installed or wired you normally will not require a permit or an electrician.  Later you can provide natural gas or piped propane.

The 40248 Home Generator System provides protection from power outages.  Electrical power is restored in minutes with the push of a button.  Assembled in the USA.  Vanguard engine is made in JAPAN.

Super powerful
7,000 watt system provides enough power to run essential items in your home, for minimal disruption to everyday activities.

Briggs & Stratton OHV Engine
Quality engine specially designed for long-life operation on NG (natural gas) or LP (liquified propane vapor).  These fuels are readily available, clean and environmentally friendly.

Fully protected
Heavy-gauge metal exterior with corrosion-resistant powder-coat painted sheet metal.  Comes with polymer installation pad -- no need for concrete pad saves you installation time and money.

Built-in Diagnostic Center with remote status and diagnostic panel
Alerts you to any possible problems with the generator.

Service convenience
Panels easily remove for service access.

Service support
Supported by 3,000 generator service dealers and over 30,000 engine dealers worldwide, this system is backed by an extensive and capable sales & service network.

2 year limited warranty

 

Note that this generator cannot be hard wired or plugged into most transfer switches.  It has GFI protection on all outlets and must be connected using extension cords or with the optional #71014 switch below.
