Providing a generous rated output of 5500, for large scale & professional applications, this generator is as powerful & reliable as it is easy to use, transport & control. The power output means it will easily run such power hungry items as hammer drills, fridge-freezers, circular-saws, blower vacs, chainsaws or even a washing machine. * Driven by a clean & efficient Honda 389cc, GX390 engine, delivering loads of power & all the expertise & quality, they are known for, this generator benefits from the engine’s 4-stroke, single cylinder action & the OHV technology that provides better fuel economy, smoother, enhanced performance & fewer emissions. The EU65is is also an inverter generator. The inverter replaces the old style, heavy alternator, & is a smart, lightweight micro-processor that control output very effectively, maintaining the integrity of the power flow so it is free of oscillations & therefore can provide safe, damage free power to sensitive items such as televisions & computers. Extremely easy to store & transport, thanks to, comfortable handles that flip-up for use or foldaway for storage & large, smooth wheels with rubber tyres, & stabilised by sturdy st&-legs, the EU65is is also fitted with a key-operated electric start for convenience, as well as a recoil to act as back up. A unique Eco-Throttle is fitted. This ensures that the generator only runs as fast as the load requires, for reduction of fuel use, & cost, & increased engine life. A large fuel tank, with a capacity of 16.5 litres is included so you have to stop to refuel far less & on a full tank the running time of this model is up to 5 hrs 40 minutes at the rated output. An integrated Oil-Alert safety system shuts the engine off if the oil level drops below a certain level. This generator offers super quiet, neighbour friendly performance at 52-60d B (A) thanks to acoustic panelling, soundproof casing, reduced vibrations & an advanced engine muffler system The EU65is comes with i-monitor, a fantastic advanced system that provides you with information about operation, wattage & speed, as well as diagnostic information so you can make sure the generator is serviced a the right time, saving time & money. This model comes with a five-year domestic & one-year professional warranty. * Items 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.
