MaxWatt 13000W Auto Start Inverter Generator (MX13000IS)
The MaxWatt MX13000IS 13000W Petrol Inverter Generator delivers 12,000 W continuous power and 13,000 W starting power for demanding portable-power and backup applications. Pure sine wave inverter technology with less than 3% total harmonic distortion provides clean, stable output for suitable tools, appliances and sensitive electronics.
From running equipment at a market stall to supporting a compatible off-grid solar system, the MX13000IS combines high output with convenient starting options. Push-button electric start, remote start and a pre-installed two-wire automatic start, run and stop control system let you choose a setup to suit the job.

Choosing and Using Your Generator
Check the combined running and starting demand of your equipment before selecting a generator. Individual socket ratings still apply; the total generator output is not available from a single 15 A socket. Confirm two-wire control compatibility before connecting to an off-grid system.
Operate outdoors only, well away from doors, windows and air intakes. Never run a petrol generator indoors or in an enclosed space. Building backup connections must use an appropriate changeover arrangement installed by a licensed electrician; never backfeed through a wall socket.
