Background and Identification

The Makita Generator(Model G6100R) was released and manufactured in 2010 to help many families, small businesses, and other mediums prevent any power outages if under circumstances such as storms, tornadoes, hurricanes and be assured that they have the power to keep any necessities running! With 5800 watts you can be assured at least 7 hours of run time from the generator. The generator itself weighs 172 pounds and measures by 26.8-by-18.5-by-24.4 inches (Length x Width x Height)

The generator is a teal color and is surrounded by black handles/base. The specific model number for this generator should read ‘Generator G6100R’. The model number should be located at the very front of the generator right next to the name of the brand and the dials of the generator, if you have any questions please look at our device photo for reference.

Makita has two generators in the G6100R series the G6100R and the G6101R but they both share many of the same specifications as you’ll see on the user manual so working on one or the other should be very similar.
