Subaru Features New SGX Generators at GIE+EXPO

As we continue to sort through all the jump drives and goodies from our trip to GIE+EXPO, I wanted to pass along another cool, new product from the show. Subaru displayed its new line of SGX generators, which offers high-quality features and durable construction. On top of that, the new generators boast technologically-advanced Subaru EX overhead cam (OHC) engines, making them reliable, rugged and powerful. The commercial generators are available in three models to meet the needs of numerous users, from homeowners to professional contractors.

Delivering a maximum output of 3,500 watts, the SGX3500 utilizes Subaru’s EX21 7-hp engine. The unit offers a fuel tank capacity of 4 gallons and provides a continuous run time of 8 hours at the rated load.

The SGX5000 utilizes the 9.5-hp EX30 engine and offers a maximum output of 4,900 watts. Fuel tank capacity is 7 gallons and the unit’s continuous run time is 9.4 hours at the rated load.

Featuring a 14-hp EX40 engine, the SGX7500E provides a maximum output of 7,300 watts. It offers a continuous run time of 7 hours at the rated load and a fuel tank capacity of 8 gallons. Additionally, the SGX7500E includes an electric starting system with recoil backup.

Constructed of heavy-duty steel and equipped with steel fuel tanks, the SGX units are designed for longevity and durability. Furthermore, the generators include high performance copper windings with maximum surge capacity. The SGX line offers OSHA-compliant ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacles, and twist lock receptacles are also included for enhanced safety.

Standard on all models, an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system provides a precise voltage control output, making the system appropriate for sensitive electronic equipment like computers. Other standard features include low-tone muffler with U.S. Forestry-approved spark arrestors, low oil level sensor with automatic shutoff, easy-to-read fuel gauge, an hour meter and a two-wheel kit for enhanced portability. The SGX7500E includes a low oil alert light on the control panel.

The SGX generators are CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certified to meet electrical safety standards. All models are backed by Subaru’s industry-leading three-year warranty, which covers both the engine and generator.
