6kVA Kubota Diesel Generator GL6000 Long Range Tank

The GL6000 Long Range Tank is a single phase Kubota diesel generator with a Rated Output (COP) of 5.5kVA (5.5kW) at 240V and 50Hz. A Kubota Z482-EB two cylinder, vertical, water-cooled, 4-cycle diesel running at 3000 rpm drives the alternator, and starting is electric. The long range tank holds more fuel than the standard tank, so the set can run longer between refills.

Key features

• Single sided maintenance puts the oil, fuel, cooling water and battery checks on one side of the set.
• A large capacity sump extends oil change intervals to 200 hours, and a fully enclosed breathing system minimises splash back.
• Double element air cleaners are standard, which suits dusty or sandy sites.
• The alternator is direct coupled to the engine, so there is no drive belt to adjust.
• A larger capacity radiator, an oversize muffler, a lower fan speed and a matched air cleaner hose are used to keep operating noise down.
• The set shuts down automatically on high water temperature or low oil pressure, and a starter safety system stops the starter engaging again after the initial start.
• A factory-fitted residual current device protects the operator from electric shock, and factory-fitted circuit breakers protect against large overloads.

Fuel use is 2.4 L/h at full load. Noise is 65 dB(A) at 7 m. Two 15A receptacles (IP66 rated) are fitted, and the base has forklift openings and a one point lifting eye for handling with lifting equipment.

What it will run

The 5.5kW rated output works out to 22.9A at 240V. That typically suits lighting, pumps, power tools, a workshop or site shed, and the essential circuits of a house or small business, provided the combined load stays within the rating. Motors draw several times their running current at start, so leave headroom for your largest one, and check each appliance's compliance plate for its running and starting figures. To use the set for home backup, connect it through an inlet and changeover switch installed by a licensed electrician. Send us your load list and we will help you size the set.

The GL6000 Long Range Tank suits home backup, worksites and small businesses that want more time between refills.
