Powerful and Reliable Performance
The Hyundai HY10000LEK-2 is built for demanding applications where dependable electricity is essential. Its 459cc four-stroke engine delivers up to 8kW of maximum output, with a continuous rated output of 7.5kW to support compatible tools, equipment and electrical appliances.
The copper-wound AVR alternator helps maintain stable voltage, making the generator suitable for a variety of applications, including compatible electronic equipment, power tools and site machinery. Always check the electrical requirements and starting loads of connected equipment before use.
Portable Generator for Site and Workshop Use
Despite its substantial 94kg weight, the HY10000LEK-2 is designed for easier movement around work areas. The integrated wheel kit and folding handles help you manoeuvre the generator into position on construction sites, in workshops or around commercial premises.
Its open-frame design provides a practical, durable solution for demanding trade environments, while the control panel and sockets are positioned for convenient access.
Electric Start with Recoil Backup
Starting the generator is straightforward thanks to the electric key-start system. A recoil starter is also provided as a backup, giving you an alternative starting method when required. The generator's battery recharges during operation to help keep the electric start system ready for use.
Smooth Power Output and Built-In Protection
The AVR alternator helps regulate voltage for consistent power delivery. A digital display allows you to monitor operating hours, voltage and frequency, helping you keep track of usage and plan routine maintenance.
For additional protection, the generator includes:
- Low-Oil Shutdown: Automatically stops the engine if the oil level becomes too low.
- Overload Protection: Helps protect the generator if the electrical load exceeds its capacity.
- Digital Monitoring: Displays essential operating information.
Fuel Capacity and Runtime
The 25-litre petrol tank supports extended operation, with a stated runtime of up to 12.5 hours depending on load and operating conditions. For long periods of storage, follow the manufacturer's fuel-storage instructions to help prevent petrol deterioration and carburettor blockages.

Important Safety Information
Never operate a petrol generator indoors or in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which can be fatal. Operate outdoors, away from doors, windows and air intakes, and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions. Any connection to a building's electrical system must be completed by a qualified electrician using suitable transfer equipment.
Choose the Hyundai HY10000LEK-2 for powerful, portable electricity for demanding site, commercial and workshop applications.
