CAT RP6500E 6500W Portable Generator Features:

  • CAT RP6500E is a 6500W portable generator that is powered by a reliable Caterpillar 420cc OHV engine with a max 3600-RPM. The starting power is 8125-Watts while the running power is 6500-Watts. It has an electric and recoil start system.
  • This 120V / 240V @ 60-Hz model has a 12-hour runtime at 50% load. It runs more quietly as compared to other generators in its class
  • The engine has a cast-iron sleeve and uses the splash oil lubrication system. Recommended oil is SAE30 or 10W-30. The engine protects itself by shutting down when the oil level is low. The heavy-duty roll cage reduces vibration.
  • The extra-large fuel tank stores 7.9-gallons or 30-liters of gasoline and has an easy to read fuel gauge.
  • It has a smart alternator with an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) that guards all the expensive sensitive electronics against voltage fluctuations that damage microcircuits.
  • The padded, double-hinged handle and never go flat tires make it easy to move around.
  • The model features 6 snap-fit rubber covered outlets, including GFCI household outlets and convertible 30-amp 120/240-volt twist-lock outlets. Covers protect from dust, debris, and moisture.
  • LED-lit panel contains all power outlets and controls in one location, including the start/stop switch, choke, and fuel shutoff switch. Control panel shows volts, hertz, run time and total hours.
  • It features the lithium-ion battery that auto-recharges when the generator is running.
  • The generator is easy to store as it takes up less space with its compact design and foldable handles.
  • CAT RP6500E comes with a 2-year limited warranty extendable to 3 years when registered within 30 days.
