The PX Series is Pramac's own-engine range for intensive applications, built around SR170F and SR190F engines rather than bought-in Honda units. The tanks are the notable specification: 18.5 litres on the PX4000 and 27 litres on the PX8000, giving 19.27 and 13.5 hours run time respectively. Both are supplied with AVR as standard and with wheels and handles fitted, and both are priced well below the equivalent Honda-engined models, which is the trade the range is built around.
Emissions Compliance
Stage V certified. Every model in this range meets the Stage V non-road mobile machinery emissions standard, which is a condition of entry on many local authority, London and principal contractor sites.

Both models are supplied with AVR and with a wheel kit and handles. Sockets: PX4000 1x230V 16A and 1x110V 16A; PX8000 1x230V 32A and 1x110V 32A.
Key Features
- 19.27 hours on the PX4000 — the longest run time in the Pramac petrol range, from an 18.5 litre tank on a 2.50kVA set.
- AVR as standard — automatic voltage regulation on both models, not an option, so output is stable for electronics.
- Wheels and handles fitted — the set is designed to be moved by one person without buying an accessory kit.
- Pramac engines — the SR170F and SR190F are Pramac's own units, which is what brings the price below the Honda-engined equivalents.
- Electric start on the PX8000 — at 94.5kg, electric start is the right specification and it is standard.
- Stage V certified — current emissions compliance on both models.
Suitable Applications
The PX Series suits hire fleets, groundworks, agriculture, market traders and general site work where run time and price matter more than having a Honda badge on the engine. The very long run time makes the PX4000 a good fit for lighting towers, welfare units, festival and event pitches and any application where the set is left running unattended for extended periods. Where the buyer specifically wants a Honda engine, the E, ES and S Series cover the same output range.
How to Use
- Site the generator on firm level ground in the open air with clearance for cooling airflow and exhaust.
- Check engine oil and fuel levels before starting.
- Confirm the total connected load is within the rating, allowing headroom for motor starting currents.
- Start the engine and let it stabilise before applying load.
- Connect loads at the socket panel using correctly rated leads.
- Shed the load before shutting down, then stop the engine and let it cool before refuelling.
Warning: Never operate a generator indoors, in a partially enclosed space, or anywhere exhaust can reach an occupied area. Exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is colourless, odourless and fatal.
Safety Information
- Operate only in the open air, well clear of doors, windows and air intakes.
- Never refuel a hot or running engine.
- Do not connect to a building's fixed wiring without a correctly specified changeover arrangement.
- Use only leads and connectors rated for the outlet, inspected before each use.
- Keep fuel and flammables away from the exhaust and hot surfaces.
- Earth the set in accordance with the site electrical arrangement.
Inspection and Maintenance
Check oil, fuel and the air filter daily, and inspect the socket panel, leads and residual current protection before each use. Service intervals follow the engine manufacturer's schedule by running hours. Generators used as work equipment fall under PUWER, and the outlets and any supplied leads fall within the site inspection and test regime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the PX cheaper than the E or S Series?
It uses Pramac's own SR170F and SR190F engines rather than bought-in Honda GX units. The specification is otherwise strong: AVR, long-run tanks and a wheel kit all come as standard.
Q: How long does the PX4000 run?
19.27 hours at 75% load from its 18.5 litre tank, which is the longest in the Pramac petrol range.
Q: Is the PX8000 electric start?
Yes, and the PX4000 is recoil. At 94.5kg the PX8000 would be difficult to recoil start reliably.
Q: Does it have 110V outlets?
Yes. The PX4000 gives 1x230V 16A and 1x110V 16A; the PX8000 gives 1x230V 32A and 1x110V 32A.
