Yanmar diesel performance in the 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Generator with Recoil & E-Start

At the heart of the generator is the Yanmar L100N5 engine, known for durability and consistent fuel efficiency.

Operating at 3000 rpm, it delivers reliable performance while keeping the unit compact enough for mobile use.

Diesel operation also offers safer fuel handling and improved efficiency for longer working days compared to petrol alternatives.

Easy starting with recoil and electric start

The 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Generator with Recoil & E-Start features both electric start and recoil start capability.

Electric start allows quick, convenient daily operation.
Recoil start provides a dependable backup option when batteries are flat or conditions are less forgiving.

This dual-start setup adds peace of mind in remote or intermittent-use situations.

Fuel efficiency and runtime

With a 5.4-litre fuel tank, the generator is designed for short-to-medium runtime tasks.

At 80% load, fuel consumption is approximately 1.65 litres per hour, delivering around 3.3 hours of operation.

This makes it well suited to mobile jobs, maintenance work, and applications where portability is prioritised over extended runtime.

Noise levels and portability

Producing 80 dBA at 7 metres, the generator sits within the expected range for open-frame diesel units of this size.

With a weight of 100.5 kg and compact dimensions, it can be transported on trailers, utes, and service vehicles without excessive handling equipment.
