Do Inverter Generators Have Low Emission Engines?

Not all do but the requirement since 2021 is to have a low-emission certified ‘Euro V’ engine – all Excel Power petrol generators are certified to this low-emission standard. You can rest assured that this generator has a low impact on our environment.

Is The Excel Power XL4000I-DF Easy to Start And Use?

You bet it is – Simply push a button and the generator start-up (electric start). There is also a remote key fob start function, just click the key fob button to start and stop the generator. The easy recoil start (pull start) is for emergency use and is smooth and silky. On a well-maintained unit, it starts first pull every time – it is engineered to run on the new E10 petrol now available so there are no worries there either.

There are two UK 3-pin 13A sockets, 1 X 12V DC port and 1 USB port to connect your electrical equipment to. Also, this unit has an easy-to-read onboard digital display so you can see information such as hours run, output voltage and frequency. A great feature is the Power Meter which shows you when you are getting close to full load and the fuel gauge so you can see when to refuel at a glance – no more having to stop your generator and open the filler to peer in!

The hours run meter is important as you will need to know when your generator will need servicing after the scheduled hours run time has been reached. This will keep your generator maintained and running for thousands of hours of use.

What Happens if I do Not Use My Generator For Long Periods?

This is a duel-fuel generator, so you can use LPG or petrol. At Power to Survive, we care for the environment so encourage our customers to use LPG instead of petrol. However, if you do choose to use petrol (as with all petrol engines), if you are planning to store your generator for a long period it's ‘best practice’ to either drain the fuel tank and then run the generator until it stops. This will prevent any unused fuel from congealing and clogging the carburettor. (The same applies if you use LPG). Or to stop the fuel from going off use a petrol additive. Remember, stale fuel can stop your generator from starting when you need it. The XL4000i-DF can be used with E10 petrol.

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

Once the right to cancel period has expired we may still accept returns, although additional charges will be applicable. However, these regulations do not restrict the statutory right to cancel and do not apply during the 14 days cancellation period.

Effects of Cancellation

If you cancel this contract during the 14 day cancellation period, we will reimburse all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than –

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest. You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired.
