Petrol engine generator EINHELL TC-PG 10/E5 — 4 L tank, 1000 W, black/red

The Einhell TC-PG 10/E5 petrol engine generator provides portable mains-independent power with a 2-stroke motor and continuous output of 680 W (maximum 1000 W). Designed for use where no grid power is available, it is suitable for allotments, construction sites, camping, workshops and emergency backup. Electricity is supplied via a standard 230 V socket for powering lamps, garden equipment, power tools or small household appliances. The unit features a 4 L fuel tank, a compact metal/plastic housing in black and red and a carrying-friendly support frame with sturdy legs for safe standing during operation.

Advantages

The generator combines compact dimensions and relatively low weight for easy transport and placement. A simple recoil start with cable pull ensures easy starting. Safety features include an overload cut-out and a low-oil shut-off to protect the engine and connected devices. The standard 230 V socket allows direct connection of common electrical devices without additional adapters.

How to use

Fill the 4 L fuel tank with the recommended petrol, check oil level according to the engine instructions and place the generator on a firm, level surface. Connect the device to be powered to the 230 V socket, start the engine using the cable pull recoil starter and allow the generator to run for a short time to stabilize before applying full load. Monitor the fuel and oil levels during operation and switch off the generator before refuelling or performing maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use the generator outdoors or in well-ventilated areas to avoid exhaust buildup, keep it away from flammable materials, and do not operate it in wet conditions. Match connected devices to the continuous output rating (680 W) to avoid tripping the overload protection; for short high-power needs the maximum output (1000 W) may cover startup surges of some appliances.
