28 AUGUST 2015 OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT www.outdoorpowerequipment.com EARTHQUAKE IG800W INVERTER GENERATOR Earthquake has re- designed its IG800W 800-watt inverter generator. The new design features up-front controls for easier operation. With camping and boating season finally here, the IG800W makes charging the boat battery or operat- ing camping tools a breeze for 14 hours on a single tank of gas. The IG800W also weighs up to 25-percent less than competitor generators, so carrying it up and down the steps to the boat is easier than managing the cooler. The housing on the IG800W keeps noise levels at a minimum, allowing the ability to enjoy other sounds, like nature and friends and family. Fuel efficient, quiet and easy to operate with up-front controls makes this inverter genera- tor a "best buy" for the summer. Earthquake, a division of Ardisam, Inc.

BRIGGS & STRATTON POWERS- MART SERIES P3000 INVERTER GENERATOR Briggs & Stratton has unveiled the next generation of quiet, smart, consistent and af- fordable inverter generators: the PowerSmart Series P3000. It is ideal for outdoor recreational enthusiasts who require more power than a standard 2-kW inverter, and still want the benefit of quiet operation. The P3000 delivers enough consistent, quiet power to run a 13,500-BTU RV air-conditioning unit, which most 2-kW inverters can't achieve. It is the first inverter in its class that offers a USB charging outlet and StatStation LED wattage monitor/maintenance reminder. The P3000 features computer-controlled technol- ogy that continuously and automatically adjusts engine speed to reduce fuel consumption and run up to 80-percent quieter than traditional camping generators. This unit provides efficient and con- sistent power for both recreational and emer- gency backup needs that traditional generators can't match. The unit's luggage-style, lift-assist transportation system allows for easy maneuver- ability by 1 person with its telescoping handle and a twin handle for 2-person lifting. Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group BRIGGS & STRATTON PRESSURE WASHERS WITH POWERFLOW+ TECHNOLOGY Briggs & Stratton's pressure washers with POW- ERflow+ technology are more than just deep- cleaning machines. They are the only pressure washers available with both high pressure to lift dirt and high flow to easily wash it away. The force behind POWERflow+ is in the Briggs & Stratton- designed, patent-pending pressure washer pump with 2 separate cleaning modes: high pressure and high flow. The high-pressure mode is ideal for cleaning the toughest stains, mildew and grime from decks, driveways and siding, while the high-flow mode is best suited for washing delicate surfaces such as patio furniture, vehicles, and children's outdoor play sets and toys. In the high- flow mode, POWERflow+ technology enhances the cleaning experience by providing extended reach, power soaping, and faster rinsing capabili- ties (up to 5 gallons per minute). POWERflow+ technology isn't comprised of the pump alone. Rather, the technology is a system of components working in concert to deliver the high-flow capabil- ity. Water is sent from the pump to the specially PRODUCT ROUNDUP EQUIPMENT FOCUS PARK TOOL TRIMMER REPAIR STANDS Park Tool Company has been making repair stands for the bicycle industry for more than 50 years.
