The Kipor IG2600 Spark 230V digital petrol generator, a re - branded product by Kipor, is the largest in our suitcase - style range. It offers a maximum continuous power of 2100 watts. For caravan use, it can charge leisure batteries, mobile phones, laptops, and tablets. It's perfect for running microwaves and hair dryers. You can also use it to power air - conditioning units or home - sized kettles, but use these large appliances one at a time to avoid overloading. When charging your caravan battery, it takes the same time as connecting to a power hook - up, as the battery charger in the caravan determines the recharge time. A smart tip is to use your leisure battery for TV in the evening and recharge it during the day. This keeps evenings quiet, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers running hours. A full tank lasts about 5 hours under full load and 6 - 7 hours in normal use. The generator has integral overload protection. If overloaded, it cuts power automatically to protect components, but it's a fail - safe and not for daily reliance. Be careful and connect only suitable loads. This powerful generator can run microwaves, kettles, air - conditioning units, smaller compressors, and tyre warmers in motor sports. During a home power cut, it can back up fridges, freezers, central heating, and provide power for lighting and TV. A manual transfer switch installed by a registered electrician is the only recommended connection method. On a boat, it runs main lights, charges batteries, powers microwaves, fridges, and most domestic washing machines. It can charge batteries at up to 80 amps through Victron or Sterling inverter units, but be cautious to avoid overloading. The Kipor IG2600 Spark is ready to use right out of the box. Just fill it with fuel and oil. It's lightweight and compact, with an ergonomic design and an extra - wide filler cap for spill - free refuelling. It uses inverter technology to provide a stable, pure 240V sine - wave output, safe for all electronic devices. Smart throttle technology improves fuel economy and reduces noise. It starts and runs quickly and simply. A low - oil sensor stops the generator to prevent damage, and rubber feet reduce vibration. Features include a 1 - year full parts and labour warranty for domestic use, 2400w maximum output for large appliances, super - quiet operation at 65dBa at 7 metres, and many other useful specifications.
Using your Kipor IG2600 Spark 230V generator is a breeze. First, when you get it out of the box, fill the fuel tank with automotive unleaded gasoline and the engine with CD - grade or SAE10W - 40, 15W - 40 lube oil. Then, use the recoil starter to start the generator. For caravan use, you can connect your leisure battery, mobile phones, and other small devices directly. But when using larger appliances like microwaves or air - conditioning units, make sure to use them one by one to avoid overloading the generator. If there's a power cut at home, have a registered electrician install a manual transfer switch. This way, you can safely connect the generator to your home electrical system. On a boat, connect your main lights, battery charger, and other devices as needed. Be careful when charging batteries through inverter units to avoid overloading. Here are some important notes. Always check the oil level before starting the generator. If the low - oil sensor activates, stop using the generator immediately to prevent damage. Don't rely too much on the overload protection. Try to connect only loads that the generator can handle. When refuelling, use the extra - wide filler cap to avoid spills. For maintenance, change the oil regularly according to the usage. Keep the generator clean and store it in a dry place when not in use. Check the spark plug and other components periodically to ensure smooth operation.
