13. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF INVERTER GENERATORS PARALLEL FUNCTION The total output power of the generators can be increased by connecting two inverter generators together using the Parallel Unit. Parallel connection of two identical generator models ensures double nominal output power of these models. When connecting generators of different capacities using the Parallel function, the output power is two times the nominal power of the generator with lesser capacity.
Page 25
“ON” MODE Fig. 20 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.
Page 26
PLEASE NOTE! It is advisable to enable the TURBO mode only after warming up the generator for 1-2 minutes. Do not abuse the TURBO mode! This may adversely affect the engine operation. LСD DISPLAY Generator models KS 3300i S, KS 3500i, KS 4000iE S, KS 3300iEG S-Profi, KS 3500iE G-Profi, KS 4000iEG S-Profi, KS 7100iE G-Profi, KS 7200iEG S-Profi have control panel equipped with a LСD display.
14. TERMS OF USE OF INVERTER GENERATOR It is recommended to ground the generator before operating it for the first time. Before starting the device, remember that the total power of the connected power consumers should not exceed the nominal power of the generator. TYPES OF POWER CONSUMERS AND START-UP CURRENT There are two types of power consumers (electrical devices connected to the generator): active and reactive.
Page 28
PLEASE NOTE! Useful tip: If the engine stalls or does not start, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position, and then pull the manual starter. If the oil level indicator flickers for several seconds, add oil and restart the engine. ISS-Systems With more than 10 years of experience, TM Könner &...
AC INDICATOR When the generator is running and producing electricity, the AC indicator light is on. DC FUSE The DC protector automatically switches to “OFF” when the current of the operating electrical device is higher than the rated current. To use this equipment again, turn on the DC fuse again by pressing the “ON”...
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL The generator is transported free of motor oil. Do not start the engine until it is filled with sufficient amount of motor oil. HILL TO 1. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe it out with a clean cloth. 2.
Page 31
COMMISSIONING In the first 20 operating hours of the generator, the following requirements should be met: 1. During commissioning, do not connect power consumers, the power of which exceeds 50% of the nominal (operating) power of the device. 2. After commissioning, be sure to change the oil. It is better to drain oil while the engine is still hot after operation to ensure quick and complete oil draining.
Page 32
WARNING - DANGER! 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 2 minutes after the generator has been started.
Page 33
DISCONNECT ALL DEVICES BEFORE STOPPING THE GENERATOR! Do not stop the generator if it has any devices connected to it. This may disable the generator or devices connected to it! PLEASE NOTE! Use care when the generator is running! You can use the generator if the voltmeter indicates a value of 230V ±10% (50 Нz).

CHARGING AN EXTERNAL 12 V BATTERY Plug the battery into the generator’s 12V outlet. Turn on the engine, then connect the generator to the battery to charge. Before you start charging the battery, make sure that the 12V DC fuse is turned on. 1.
18. MAINTENANCE Maintenance work listed in section “Maintenance” should be performed on a regular basis. If you cannot perform maintenance work on your own, please contact the authorized service center to request the required maintenance work. PLEASE NOTE! The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage caused by failure to perform maintenance work.

REPLACING OR ADDING MOTOR OIL Fig. 25 If the oil level drops, fresh oil must be added to ensure proper operation of the generator. Check the oil level according to the maintenance Upper level schedule. WARNING - DANGER! To avoid burns, handle the oil carefully because it is still very hot even after stopping the engine.
20. RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Unit Action Level check Motor oil Replacement Cleaning Air filter Replacement Cleaning Spark plug Replacement Level check Fuel tank Cleaning Fuel Cleaning filter - If the generator often operates at high temperature or high load, the oil should be replaced every 25 operating hours.
21. AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE Air filter should be checked for contamination from time to time. Regular maintenance of the air filter is necessary to maintain sufficient air flow in the carburetor and reduce fuel consumption. Air filter Fig. 28 CLEANING THE FILTER: 1.
Fig. 29 Spark plug 0.60 - 0.80 mm Electrodes 23. DAMPER AND FLAME ARRESTER MAINTENANCE The engine and damper will get very hot after the generator has been started. Do not touch the engine or damper with any part of your body or clothing during inspection or repair until they have cooled down.
24. FUEL FILTER Fig. 32 PLEASE NOTE! Never use gasoline while smoking or in the immediate vicinity of an open flame. 1. Remove the fuel tank cap and fuel filter. 2. Clean the filter with gasoline. 3. Wipe the filter and replace it. 4.
