Accumulator Maintenance; Generators` Storage - K&S BASIC KSB 6000D Owner's Manual

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. If the generator is not used for a long time, please disconnect
the battery from the terminals. The battery that comes with the generator does not
require additional maintenance and filling of electrolyte.
GENERATOR STORAGE
Storage room has to be dry and free from dust deposits. Storage room also has
to be locked away from children
!
Warning! Generator is to remain ready for operation at all times.
Therefore in case of device malfunctions, they are to be repaired
before dismounting the generator for storage.
Long-term storage
If you do not plan to use the generator for a long time, we recommend:
- Drain the fuel from the tank.
- Drain the oil from the engine.
- Pull the manual starter until you feel light resistance so that the intake and
exhaust valves are closed.
- Remove the negative terminal of the battery for the electric start models.
- Clean generator from dirt and dust.
When starting the generator after long storage, follow all procedures in reverse
order.
!
Pay attention to the fact that upon failed attempts to launch the
generator by means of an electric start, the accumulator units
may turn out de-energized, therefore prior to operation start it
may be necessary to perform full accumulator unit charging.
