\n\t\tPowerful Petrol Generator \n\t\t \n\t\tThe HY2800L-2 is a powerful yet easily portable petrol open-frame generator from Hyundai, powered by a highly economical 196cc / 6.5hp single-cylinder 4-stroke engine that is able to produce 2.2kW / 2.75kVA. \n\t\t \n\t\tBuilt for demanding jobs, the HY2800L-2 is an extremely reliable workhorse of a generator, with its single-cylinder 4-stroke OHV air-cooled engine generating a maximum power of 2.2kW. \n\t\t \n\t\tQuiet Site Generator \n\t\t \n\t\tUsing the latest low-noise engine technology, and an improved muffler design, the HY2800L-2 produces only 65 dBA @ 7m to minimise any disruptions or disturbances to your family, employees or neighbours. \n\t\t \n\t\tEquipped with a Hyundai AVR alternator to keep the voltage output smooth (within +/- 3% of 230V), the HY2800L-2 is suitable for powering sensitive electronic equipment, such as televisions, PCs and laptops, in your home or business. This alternator is also heavy-duty enough to easily handle the harsh demands of power tools and building site equipment. \n\t\t \n\t\tThis powerful genset is fitted with 2x 230v 13A sockets to ensure you always have plenty of space to power whatever is needed. \n\t\t \n\t\tGenerator Features \n\t\t \n\t\tThe onboard digital display meter displays hours run, the output voltage and frequency, making it easy to know when a service on the generator is due, ensuring generator longevity. \n\t\t \n\t\tThis petrol generator's sockets are placed on the end facing the control panel to minimise any potential damage when wheeling this portable generator through narrow gaps and doorways. \n\t\t \n\t\tThe easy-pull recoil start system makes this generator easy to get going each and every time. \n\t\t \n\t\tEasy To Use \n\t\t \n\t\tWith low service and maintenance requirements, the HY2800L-2 is incredibly easy to use and has full Hyundai UK parts back up. It also features a low oil alert which will shut down the engine automatically if the oil level drops to minimise any damage to the engine, as well as overload protection which will cut off power if it exceeds the maximum energy capacity. \n\t\t \n\t\tThis generator is ideal for site use, commercial use, trade use or even for home or garage use. Note that petrol generators must never be used inside due to risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. \n\t\t \n\t\tPetrol-Powered Generator \n\t\t \n\t\tAs this generator is petrol-powered, please note that when storing your generator for a long period of time, we recommend you either run the engine dry of fuel, drain any leftover fuel or use a fuel additive to prevent the petrol from ‘going off’ whilst sat in the generator. \n\t\t \n\t\tModern unleaded petrol, when left for long periods can congeal and clog the carburettor which can cause problems starting your generator in the future. \n\t\t \n\t\t3 Year Warranty \n\t\t \n\t\tThis 2.75kVA diesel generator comes with a 3 year Hyundai domestic warranty* / 1 year commercial warranty* (terms apply) with full UK parts and service backup for added peace of mind.
