Aurora Generators Cummins Onan P9500df Dual-Fuel Generator - A058U967 - PowerGen USA - A074Z438

The Cummins Onan P9500df is the most powerful generator in our portable generator lineup. Designed in a dual-fuel setup, it runs on gasoline or propane (LPG) with the flip of a switch. Producing 9500 peak watts and 7500 running watts of power (using gasoline), it can be used for your camper, jobsite, or as a home backup during power outages. The 13-hp 420cc OHV 4-Stroke engine is paired with a 6.6-gallon fuel tank. At 25% load, you can expect 16 hours of run time on gasoline and 8 hours on propane (using a standard 20 lb. propane tank). With the included remote starter, you can start your generator 100 yards away, or you can use the onboard push button or pull cord backup. As always, it’s back by the Cummins 24/7 global support network and a 3-year residential warranty.

These products are not intended to be used as a main or Prime Power (primary source of power) in place of utility power where utility power service is present or where utility power service does not normally exist, regardless of whether a consumer application or commercial application is involved. This application could void the warranty.
