- Make sure no outsider objects are on the generator when it is turned on. - Always keep a stable position and balance when starting the generator. - Use safety equipment. Always wear goggles, a mask, non-slip sole shoes, protective helmet, headphones. - Do not overload the generator, use it only for the purpose.
TERMS OF USE When starting operating the generator, it’s recommended to ground it. Before starting the unit, remember that the total power of consumers connected should not exceed the rated capacity of the generator. Types of consumers and inrush current Consumers (electrical devices connected to the generator) are divided into active and reactive ones.

For commissioning models with electric it is necessary to charge the battery. Charge the battery with additional battery charger (not included) or let the generator work at least one hour at 50% load. IMPORTANT! Diesel fuel type should correspond the operating season.

During generator operation: - You may use the generator, if the voltage meter displays the value 230V+/- 10% (50 Hz) and 400V+ / - 10% (50 Hz) for three-phase generator. - Watch the voltage meter and in case of excessive indices values, stop the generator operation.
IMPORTANT! Failure to follow these instructions may lead to damage of the rotor and stator windings, the AVR unit. IMPORTANT! An overload may lead to automatic activation of generator protection machine. Reduce the load. Reconnect the generator no earlier than 5 minutes after switching off.

It is necessary to check the oil levels according to technical maintenance schedule. To replace engine oil, perform the following actions: 1.
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE It is necessary to check the air filter from time to time and clean any contaminations. Regular air filter maintenance is necessary to maintain sufficient carburetor air inflow. The air filter should be cleaned more often when using generator in dusty conditions.
FUEL FILTER TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE There are two kinds of fuel filters in K&S Basic diesel generators. They prevent the ingress of contaminants from diesel fuel to the engine. Coarse cleaning fuel filter Remove the filter after the possible hard particles hit every 500 operating hours. Never use water for purification the filter.
ACCUMULATOR MAINTENANCE In Könner & Söhnen models with electric start you should periodically perform battery voltage checks. The generator battery has a voltage of 12V and if the voltage is lower, you should perform battery charging with the help of an external charger. To avoid discharging the battery, it is recommended to run the generator at least once a month for 30 minutes.
