**Sound levels are taken from the front of the generator. Sound levels taken from other sides of the generator may be higher depending on installation parameters. Rating definitions - Standby: Applicable 

for supplying emergency power for the duration of the utility power outage.  No overload capability is available for this rating.  (All ratings in accordance with BS5514, ISO3046 and DIN6271).  * Maximum 
wattage and current are subject to and limited by such factors as fuel Btu/megajoule content, ambient temperature, altitude, engine power and condition, etc.  Maximum power decreases about 3.5 percent for 
each 1,000 feet (304.8 meters) above sea level; and also will decrease about 1 percent for each 6° C (10° F) above 16° C (60°F).
