K&S BASIC KSB 30i S Owner's Manual page 7

IMPORTANT!
1. Check oil level.
2. Check fuel level.
3. Open the vent on the fuel cap to the "ON" position.
4. Close the air choke (pull the air choke handle).
5. Turn the fuel valve handle to the "ON" position (OPEN).
6. Set the engine switch to the "ON" position.
7. For manual start pull the manual starter until a slight resistance is felt, then pull it toward you relatively sharply.
Slowly turn the manual starter by hand, do not release it abruptly.
8. Open the air choke by pushing the air choke handle.
9. Allow the generator to run idle for approx. 1-2 minutes.
10. Connect the devices you need to the generator outlets.
ATTENTION – DANGER!
Ensure that the devices are in good condition before connecting them to the generator. If the connected device
suddenly stopped working, immediately disconnect the load on the emergency stop switch, disconnect the device
and check it out.
IMPORTANT!
ECON FUNCTION ECON FUNCTION
1. Start the engine.
2. Set the ECON switch to "ON".
3. Plug the device into an AC outlet.
4. Make sure the AC indicator light is on.
5. Turn on the electrical device.
IMPORTANT!
"ON" MODE "ON" MODE
When the ECON switch is in the "ON" position, the control unit monitors the engine speed, reducing it commensurate
with the connected load. If the engine speed is not enough to generate electricity to provide the load, the control unit
will automatically increase the engine speed.
As a result, fuel consumption is optimized and noise levels are reduced.
"OFF" MODE "OFF" MODE
The ECON switch must be set back to "OFF" when using electrical devices requiring a high starting current, such as a
compressor or submersible pump.
Each time you start the generator, be sure to check oil and fuel level
Do not connect two or more devices at a time. The start-up of
many devices requires high power. Devices should be connected
one at a time according to their power rating. Do not connect any
power consumers within the first 1-2 minutes after the generator
has been started.
When using the generator be careful! You can use the generator if
the voltmeter shows the value of 230V +/- 10% (50 Hz).
The ECON switch must be set to "OFF" to increase engine speed to
nominal. When connecting multiple power consumers to the gen-
erator, be sure to first connect the one with the highest starting
current, and the device with the lowest starting current should be
connected last.
