Questions
This petrol-powered generator provides reliable electricity for tools, lighting, and site equipment when mains power isn’t available. It’s ideal for use on job sites, at outdoor events, or as emergency backup power.
Yes, it’s suitable for temporary home use to power essential items like lighting, small appliances, or tools during a power outage. Always use it outdoors and connect safely following manufacturer's guidelines.
Yes, it’s designed for outdoor and site use. However, it must always be operated in a well-ventilated area to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. Never use it indoors or in enclosed spaces.
It can run continuously for up to 3 hours at over 3 kVA output, using about 3 litres of unleaded petrol.
Yes, the generator has multiple socket outlets and can power several tools or pieces of equipment simultaneously, as long as the combined load doesn’t exceed its rated capacity.
Yes, fuel is not supplied with the unit. You’ll need to purchase unleaded petrol separately using an approved petrol storage container.
Yes, unleaded petrol from any standard petrol station will work perfectly. Just make sure to store and transport it safely in an approved fuel can.
It’s suitable for running power tools like drills, grinders, saws, and water pumps, as well as lighting, heaters, irrigation systems, and small appliances.
It’s portable but weighs around 63kg, so you’ll need a vehicle at least the size of an estate car for collection and transport.
This dual-voltage setup allows you to power both standard household tools (240V) and site-safe tools (110V), offering versatility for different working environments.
While the generator can handle outdoor conditions, it should always be placed on a dry, stable surface and sheltered from direct rain or moisture to prevent electrical hazards.
It’s recommended to wear protective gloves—PVC, cotton, or rigger types—and to use a Residual Current Device (RCD) for added protection from electric shock.
It’s best suited for power tools and site equipment. Sensitive electronics like laptops or TVs should be connected only with a voltage regulator or inverter for a stable output.
Regularly check oil levels, keep the air filter clean, and ensure the fuel tank is free of debris. Always run it on clean, fresh petrol and store it in a dry place when not in use.
Petrol generators are generally lighter, quieter, and easier to start, making them a convenient and affordable choice for DIYers, homeowners, and light trade users.
