The Kipor Spark Digital Petrol Generator IG1000 is the second model in our suitcase - style generator range. It offers a maximum continuous power of 900 watts. This generator comes standard with a parallel connection socket, allowing you to link two or more parallel - configured Spark generators. You can even connect mismatched generators, which is great for those extra - power needs, like when ladies on holiday want to use hair dryers or for automotive sports to power small compressors or pressure washers. In caravan use, it can charge your leisure battery, mobile phones, laptops, and tablets. You can also use travel kettles and irons, even in the most remote spots. Charging your caravan battery takes the same time as when connected to an on - site or home hook - up, as it's the battery charger in the caravan that determines the recharge time. A smart tip for TV watching: use your leisure battery at night and recharge it during the day. This keeps the evenings quiet, reduces fuel use, and cuts down on running hours. A full tank lasts about 4 hours under full load and 5 - 6 hours in normal use. It has integral overload protection. If you overload it, it'll automatically cut out, but be careful and only connect suitable loads. This generator won't run microwaves or large kettles; for that, you'll need to upgrade to the IG2000 or IG2600. In case of a home power cut, the IG1000 can back up your fridge, freezer, and provide some lighting. It's recommended to have a manual transfer switch installed by a registered electrician. On a boat, it can run main lights and charge your battery. It can power your Victron or Sterling inverter unit to charge batteries up to 50 amps, but be careful not to overload it while charging. This generator is loved by many as the perfect travel partner for caravanning and boating, and it's also great for basic home backup during power outages. Here are some of its great features: Ready - to - use: Just fill it with fuel and oil, and you're good to go. Lightweight and Compact: Ergonomically designed, easy to carry, with an extra - wide filler cap for spill - free refuelling. Pure Power: Inverter technology provides a stable, pure Sine Wave 240V output, safe for all electronic devices, including sensitive ones. Efficiency: Smart throttle technology runs the engine at the lowest speed for the power you need, saving fuel and reducing noise. Simplicity: Quick and easy to start and run. A low - oil sensor stops the generator to prevent damage, and rubber feet provide a stable platform and reduce vibration.

Using your Kipor Spark Digital Petrol Generator IG1000 is a breeze. First, fill it up with automotive unleaded gasoline and the recommended lube oil (CD grade or SAE10W - 40, 15W - 40). Once it's fueled up, use the recoil starter to get it going. When using it in a caravan, you can connect your leisure battery, mobile devices, and small appliances like travel kettles and irons. If you need more power, you can connect two or more generators together using the parallel connection socket. Just be careful not to connect large appliances like microwaves or big kettles; this generator isn't designed for them. For home use during a power cut, make sure to have a manual transfer switch installed by a registered electrician. This will let you safely use the generator without any issues. On a boat, it can run your main lights and charge your battery, but when charging your batteries through the inverter, watch out for overloading. Here are some important things to keep in mind. Don't overload the generator. It has an overload protection feature, but it's there as a safety net, not for regular use. Always check the oil level before starting. If the oil gets too low, the low - oil sensor will stop the generator to prevent damage. When refueling, use the extra - wide filler cap to avoid spills. To maintain your generator, make sure to store it in a dry place when not in use. Check the fuel and oil regularly. If you're not going to use it for a long time, drain the fuel to prevent it from going bad. Clean the generator periodically to keep it in good working condition. And remember, it comes with a 1 - year manufacturer warranty from Kipor UK, so you're covered if anything goes wrong.
