Portable petrol engine-generator Könner & Söhnen KS 3000G, rated power 2.6 kW, 230 V, 15 L steel tank, 45.4 kg

Könner & Söhnen KS 3000G is a portable petrol engine-generator with a rated power of 2.6 kW and rated voltage of 230 V. The unit combines a compact footprint (430 × 580 mm) with a 15 L steel fuel tank and a total weight of 45.4 kg, making it suitable for temporary backup power, small workshops, construction sites and outdoor locations where a reliable AC supply is required. The model belongs to the DUAL FUEL range: it can operate on either gasoline or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG/propane‑butane). All necessary cylinder connections are included for gas operation, and the generator can be switched to gasoline mode if needed.

Advantages

The KS 3000G features a single‑cylinder, air‑cooled four‑stroke K&S engine designed to meet EURO V emissions requirements, which reduces exhaust emissions when running on gas. Running on LPG increases engine service life and lowers operational fuel costs compared with gasoline alone. The generator is fitted with a synchronous alternator with 100% copper winding for improved durability under load, an enlarged steel fuel tank with a visible fuel level indicator, vibration‑reducing rubber dampers and an ergonomic control panel with LED display, hour counter, frequency and voltage readouts, circuit breaker and low oil sensor.

Suitable for

• Emergency backup power for a small home or cabin
• Powering hand tools and lighting at construction or renovation sites
• Small workshops and hobbyist equipment
• Outdoor events, fairs and temporary installations
• Remote locations where a compact, transportable AC source is required

How to use

Before first use, check oil and fuel levels and verify that all connections are secure. For LPG operation, attach the supplied 1.5 m hose and reducers to a compatible gas cylinder following the included kit instructions; the generator has a built‑in reducer that provides gas supply during engine operation and terminates supply when the engine is off. To start, switch the fuel selection to the chosen fuel (gas or gasoline) if applicable, open the choke as required for cold starts, then use the starter according to the control panel instructions. Monitor the LED display for voltage and frequency and observe the low oil sensor and circuit breaker indicators. For safe shutdown, turn off loads, stop the engine, and close the gas cylinder valve when using LPG.

Usage recommendations

Use only clean, approved gasoline or properly certified LPG cylinders and regulators. Ensure regular maintenance: change engine oil at the intervals recommended in the engine manual, inspect the rubber dampers and fuel lines for wear, and keep the alternator and cooling fins free of debris. Have gas connections and stationary installations performed by a certified specialist if connecting to a larger storage system. Operate the generator on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation and away from open flames or enclosed spaces.
