Why buyers choose the SC4000-II

  • Key start with recoil backup: on-board 12V battery, and a pull cord if the battery is ever flat.
  • 13.5 hours at half load: from a 15L tank.
  • Low noise for its size: quoted at 65 dB(A) at 7m.
  • 3-year warranty when registered for peace of mind.
  • Wheel kit included: easy to move around a site or yard.
  • Protected: low-oil shutdown, overload circuit breaker and AVR.
  • Built for dust and wet: enclosed, dust and water-resistant control panel.

Is it right for you?

Ideal for: building trades, smallholdings, home power cuts and general outdoor work where you want easy starting.

Look elsewhere if: you need more than 3.2kW, in which case see the Senci SC6000-II; or you are powering delicate electronics, where an inverter generator is the better choice.

What will it run?

On 230V, plan around 3.2kW continuous. On 115V, dual-voltage generators give only around 50-60% of rated output, so plan around 1.7kW. These are typical figures, so check your own equipment.

Equipment Typical watts Voltage
SDS drill 900W 115V
115mm angle grinder 850W 115V
LED site light 50W 115V
Fridge-freezer 150W, more at start-up 230V
Boiler and pump 200W 230V
Fan heater 2,000W 230V

Example: a fridge-freezer, boiler, lights and TV come to about 600W, leaving over 2.5kW spare. On site, an SDS drill and an angle grinder used together come to about 1.75kW, which is right at the 115V limit, so run heavy tools one at a time.

Getting it running

  • Battery: check the lead is connected before first start, as it may be disconnected for transit.
  • Oil: fill with engine oil before starting, as the low-oil shutdown won't let it run without.
  • Fuel: use fresh unleaded petrol.
  • Plugs: the outlets are industrial-style 16A and 32A, so you need matching plugs or a 16A-to-13A lead for household appliances (not included).

FAQs

Is it really electric start? Yes, with a key and on-board 12V battery. The recoil cord is there as a backup.

Will it run 110V site tools? Yes, from the 115V 32A outlet. Keep the combined load to around 1.7kW.

Can I use it in a power cut? Yes, for essentials using a suitable lead. Connecting it to your home's wiring needs a changeover switch fitted by a qualified electrician. Never back-feed through a socket.

How does the warranty work? Senci's 3-year limited warranty covers domestic use, and you need to register within 30 days. If you don't register, cover is 2 years. If it will be used commercially, ask us about the terms before ordering.

Safety: run outdoors only, well away from doors and windows. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. Let the engine cool before refuelling.
