Performance & Build
The MaxWatt 13.5kVA generator combines a robust 688cc V twin engine with proven fuel efficiency and stable voltage output — perfect for powering both heavy-duty tools and delicate electronics. Its compliance with Australian EPA emission standards means cleaner running and lower environmental impact.
With a 45-litre fuel tank—the largest in its group—this generator offers up to 10 hours of runtime at half load, allowing you to work or camp longer without constant refuelling.
The durable 32mm steel roll frame and never-flat wheels stand up to rough Australian terrain, while the ergonomic U-shaped handle lets you transport the unit comfortably, even across uneven ground.
Noise reduction is thoughtfully addressed with a large muffler, keeping operation noise to a moderate 82 dB, which is competitive for a generator of this size and output.
Safety & Connectivity
Safety features are front of mind in this model. The RCD safety switch provides mandatory electrical shock protection, crucial for use on job sites, at home, or in campgrounds.
Multiple high-quality IP66 rated sockets support simultaneous connection of various appliances and power tools, safeguarding connections against dust and water ingress during tough jobs or outdoor use.
Tips for Optimal Use & Care
- Before extended use, fill the 45L fuel tank and check the integrated fuel gauge.
- Ensure correct earthing by connecting the frame terminal as instructed.
- Use manufacturer-recommended oil and petrol types to maintain engine health.
- Store in a sheltered spot when idle to protect from moisture and dirt buildup.
