26kW Briggs and Stratton Generator

The 26kW Briggs and Stratton Generator restores power to your home during utility outages. It works automatically in any weather, day or night. Whether you’re at home, away on vacation, or sleeping in your bed, the 26kW generator senses a power outage. Within seconds, the generator starts and signals the automatic transfer switch (sold separately.) The ATS switches from utility to generator power. A compatible power management system allows you to prioritize the most important heavy loads.

This Briggs & Stratton 26kW Standby Generator is NOT rated for Prime Power Applications.

TIP Where temperatures fall below 30 degrees Fahrenheit, install a battery warmer (sold separately) and oil warmer (sold separately) to ensure fast, easy starts. In below freezing temperatures, a warm battery provides more power for starting the generator. Warm oil lubricates better, which prolongs engine life and makes it easier to start.

ALL Briggs and Stratton 26kW Generator installations require the use of a Carbon Monoxide Detector inside the home to guard against CO Poisoning.
