Petrol / Diesel Generator Hire Southampton (3.5kVA Minimum)
NOT Required if you have access to a plug socket within 20m.
Planning a bouncy castle or inflatable event on an open field with no access to a mains plug socket within 20 meters? No problem! We can arrange the hire of a suitable generator!
Each inflatable, disco or candy floss machine (any electrical item) will require 1 generator of AT LEAST 3.5kVA. Sumo Suits do not require any power.
Each generator is supplied with enough fuel to last for up to 5 hours. If your event is longer than this, then please let us know.
If you are planning to hire more than one item such as an bouncy castle, inflatable, candy floss machine or disco, then please get in contact for prices on more than 1 generator.
Please ensure you have read our FAQ page and the quick start manual for this generator before booking this item.
The quick start guide can be found here:

PLEASE NOTE: We will need to see your driving licence/passport and a recent utility bill upon delivery.
To start the generator:
Make sure you have read the manual (links above) to ensure familiarity with the generator's controls and operation.
We will demonstrate all controls etc, but would be good if you also took a look at the controls on the manual.
Check the fuel level and add more fuel if necessary.
Turn the fuel valve on
Start the generator by pulling the pull cord out slowly until you feel the bite. Once you feel the bite pull hard once, this will start the engine.
Allow the generator the warm up for a few moments before plugging in the bouncy castle plug.
Check fuel every hour or so.
To stop refuel the generator:
Unplug the bouncy castles plug and let the generator run without anything plugged in for a few moments.
Turn the engine switch to the off position.
Turn the fuel valve off.
Let cool for a few moments, then re-fuel.
If you spill any fuel on the generator while refuelling, please give it a few moments to evaporate before restarting.
Turn fuel valve on
Turn the engine switch to the on position.
Pull the pull cord out slowly until you feel the bite. Once you feel the bite pull hard once, this will start the engine.
Let engine run for a few moments before re-connecting the bouncy castle plug.
You are more than welcome to arrange the hire of your own generator (minimum 3.5kVA per item) via any local tool hire company, please remember that you will probably need a "weekend hire" as any tool hire companies that are open on a Saturday close at around lunch time and are closed all day Sunday's.
