Terms Of Use; Working With The Device - K&S BASIC KSB 21i S Owner's Manual

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. Active ones are
those, which energy is converted into heat (heating devices).
Reactive are all consumers with electric motor. When you run the engine, starting currents occur briefly, the size of
which depends on engine design and purpose. Please consider those starting currents when choosing a generator.
Most electric tools have starting current ratio 2-3. This means that when you turn such tools required generator power
have 2-3 times more power load. The biggest factor of inrush current have such consumers as compressors, pumps,
washing machines.
GENERATOR GROUND CIRCUIT
In order to prevent electric shock due to shoddy electrical appliances or wrong use of electricity, the generator must
be grounded with a good-quality insulated conductor.
IMPORTANT!
ENGINE SWITCH
To enable engine turn the start switch to ON position. To eliminate the engine, turn the switch to STOP position. For
model KSB 21i S, the engine switch is combined with the fuel valve handle. To turn on the engine, turn the fuel valve
to the "ON" position; to turn off the engine, turn the fuel valve to the "OFF" position.
OIL WARNING LIGHT (YELLOW)
When the oil level falls below the lower level, the oil warning light comes on and then the engine stops automatically.
Unless you refill with oil, the engine will not start again.
IMPORTANT!
НOVERLOAD INDICATOR LIGHT (RED)
The overload indicator light comes on when an overload of a connected electrical device is detected, the inverter
control unit overheats, or the AC output voltage rises. Then, the AC protector will trip, stopping power generation
in order to protect the generator and any connected electric devices. The AC pilot light (Green) will go off and the
overload indicator light (Red) will stay on, but the engine will continue running.
Make sure the control panel, louver and the inverter bottom
side cooling well and without chips, mud and water come in. It
may damage the engine, inverter or alternator if the cooling vent
blocked.

WORKING WITH THE DEVICE

Tip:
If the engine stalls or does not start, turn the engine switch to
"ON" and then pull the recoil starter. If the oil warning light
flickers for a few seconds, the engine oil is insufficient. Add oil
and restart.
