Portable petrol engine-generator EINHELL TC-PG 25/1/E5 — 4.1 kW, 15 L fuel tank, 37.3 kg

The EINHELL TC-PG 25/1/E5 is a portable petrol engine-generator that provides reliable temporary power for a wide range of applications. Designed around a low-emission, air-cooled four-stroke petrol motor that meets Emission Stage 5 requirements, this unit delivers a continuous output of 2,100 W and a maximum output up to 4,100 W peak, while a 15 L fuel tank with level indicator supports extended runtime. The unit includes two 230 V socket outlets and a voltmeter for monitoring output voltage, an AVR (automatic voltage regulation) system for stable power supply and protective functions such as an overload switch and low-oil cut-out for durable operation.

Advantages

The TC-PG 25/1/E5 combines a compact footprint with a relatively large fuel tank to reduce refuelling frequency during extended use. Emission Stage 5 compliance reduces exhaust emissions compared with older designs, and the AVR system helps protect connected devices by keeping voltage stable under varying loads. Built-in protections — including overload shutoff and low-oil cut-out — safeguard the engine and connected equipment, while the integrated voltmeter and two 230 V outlets make it straightforward to connect and monitor appliances.

Suitable for

• Construction sites and mobile workshops for powering tools and lighting
• Outdoor events, catering stands and market stalls
• Emergency backup power for home appliances and essential electronics
• Remote locations and off-grid applications where mains power is unavailable

How to use

Place the generator on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated outdoor area away from doors, windows and vents. Check engine oil and fuel level before starting; fill fuel up to the indicated level on the tank only when the engine is cool. Start the unit using the cable pull (recoil starter) according to the user manual, allow the engine to reach operating speed, then connect appliances to the 230 V socket outlets. Monitor the voltmeter during operation and avoid exceeding the continuous output rating of 2,100 W to prevent overload shutdown. If the low-oil cut-out or overload switch engages, stop and inspect the generator before attempting to restart.

Usage recommendations

For safe, long-lasting operation, use fresh, unleaded petrol of the grade recommended in the user manual and change engine oil at intervals specified by the manufacturer. Allow the generator to cool before refuelling, and avoid running it in enclosed spaces to prevent accumulation of exhaust gases. Use the AVR-protected outlets for sensitive electronics and distribute loads across both sockets when possible to balance output. Perform routine checks on oil level, fuel level, air filter and spark plug to maintain reliable performance.
