Honda is a byword for reliable, efficient & high-quality power, & if you need power for semi-professional work, to power tools like cement mixers, pressure spray painters, washers or mobile food vans*, even for rescue work or flood control, then this generator from Honda’s workhorse endurance range is definitely one to look at. Providing a rated output of 1700 watts with a maximum output of 2000 watts, this condenser generator is powered by a commercial grade, 163cc, Honda GX160T1, 4-stroke, single cylinder with OHV (overhead valve) technology for enhanced performance with lowered fuel usage, fewer vibrations & lowered emissions. Very tough & durable, the generator & engine are protected by a powder-coated, tubular steel frame which also serves to stabilise the unit. In addition, the engine & the alternator are protected by being rubber-mounted within the housing. This also serves to lower engine vibrations significantly. The rubber mounts are specially designed & inclined at 45° for enhanced damping, superior to industry-standard straight mounts. An easy-to-use recoil makes starting very reliable & simple, combined with the transistorised ignition, & the engine is protected by a safety system called Oil-Alert, where the engine shuts down if the oil volume drops below a safe level, saving damage to the machine & keeping the user safe into the bargain. The generator offers dual voltage output with a circuit breaker for added safety & the construction across the board is robust & hardwearing. A one-year professional & five year domestic warranty is issued with this generator. * NB: It is important to check the wattage requirements of the equipment you intend to power so you can buy the right generator. Try to choose a generator with a rated output that is the total of wattages of your items, plus a contingency of approx 10%. tems like saws & drills are ‘reactive loads’ so although the running load might be low, the starting load needs to be calculated at up to five times the running load & subsequently after the initial powering up, less power is required for actual operation. E.g. a typical fridge might take 2, 200 w to start but 700 W to run. ...
