STOPPING YOUR GENERATOR
Make sure all electrical appliances are unplugged before
stopping the generator!
1) Turn breaker (A) Fig.6 "OFF" by lowering it.
2) Place the engine switch (B) to the "OFF" position.
3) Close the fuel shut-off valve (C) by bringing it upwards.
4) Turn the gas cap lever to the "Off" position.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS
Attempting to connect generator directly to the electrical system of any building structure.
Back feeding electricity through a building's electrical system to the outside utility feed lines could endanger repair persons attempting to restore
service. Failure to use a double throw transfer switch when connecting to a structure's electrical system can damage appliances and WILL VOID
the manufacturer's warranty. Never backfeed electricity through a structure's electrical system. To connect to a structure's electrical system in a
safe manner, always have a Double-Throw Transfer Switch installed by a qualified electrician and in compliance with local ordinances. (When
installing a Double-Throw Transfer Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used).
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ITEMS TO GENERATOR
Exceeding the load capacity of the generator by attaching too many items, or items with very high load ratings to it could result in overheating of
some items or their attachment wiring resulting in fire or electrical shock. Make sure that the sum total of electrical loads for all attachments does
not exceed the load rating of the generator.
WARNING! Failure to connect and operate equipment in the sequence below can cause damage to equipment and will void the warranty.
1) Let engine run and warm up for five minutes after starting with no electrical load. Connect loads in the following manner to prevent damage to
equipment: Connect "inductive" load equipment first, inductive loads consist of refrigerators, freezers, water pumps, air conditioners, or small
hand tools. Connect the items that require the most wattage first. Connect the lights next. Voltage sensitive equipment should be the last
equipment connected to the generator. Plug voltage sensitive appliances such as TV's, VCR's, microwaves, ovens, computers, and cordless
telephones.
Overloading the generator will cause power fluctuations and can damage equipment and appliances. King Canada will not be
responsible for equipment damaged as a result of voltage surges, improper operation or improper installation of the generator.
CONTROL PANEL
• 120V AC DUPLEX RECEPTACLE (A) FIG.8.
For normal 120V operation, plug your appliance or power bar into one of the duplex 120V
receptacles (A) Fig.8.
• 12V DC OUTLET-(B) FIG.8. Main use, charging 12V automotive batteries
IMPORTANT: Allow generator to run at no load for 5 minutes upon each initial start-up to
allow engine to stabilize. To charge battery:
1) Using supplied battery cables, connect its plug into the 12V outlet (B) Fig.8.
2) Connect the red positive (+) battery cable to the battery's positive (+) terminal and the black
negative (-) battery cable to the battery's negative (-) terminal.
3) Charge the battery according to battery or equipment manufacturer recommendations.
Stop charging whn the voltage of the battery is above 16V.
Warning! To avoid possible short-circuiting, it is recommended to disconnect car battery from
vehicle before attempting to charge it.
• ENGINE SWITCH-(C) FIG.8. Must be placed in the "On" position to start the engine.
• ECONOMICAL MODE SWITCH-(D) FIG.8. When placed in the "On" position, the engine
speed will be kept at idle automatically when an electrical load is disconnected and returns to proper speed to power the electrical load when
reconnected. This is recommended to minimize fuel consumption during operation. Before using the electrical appliance, switch the Economical
Mode switch to the "Off" position.
• INDICATOR LIGHTS-(E, F, G) FIG.8. The Power Output light (F-green) will remain on during normal operation. If the generator is overloaded
or if there is a short in the connected appliance, the Power Output light (F) will turn off and the Overload light (E-red) will turn on, the
electrical output will be stopped. If this happens and the circuit breaker is still in the On position, this means the Internal Overload
Sensor of the Digital Inverter has tripped the overload. Turn engine off, disconnect the load, wait a few secondes and restart engine.
When an electric motor is started, both the Overload (red) and the Power Output (green) may turn on simultaneously. The Overload red light
will turn off after a few seconds. Constant overloads will shorten the life of the generator. The Low Oil Warning light (G-red) will turn on and
the engine will not start if the engine oil level is too low. Add oil if this warning light turns on.
• 120V CIRCUIT BREAKER (H) AND 12V DC RESET (I). If an overload or short-circuit occurs, either the 120V AC circuit breaker (H) Fig.8, the
12V DC Reset (I) Fig.8 or the internal overload sensor will "trip" to protect the circuit, causing the generator to automatically shut off. Disconnect
all electrical items from the control panel. Press the tripped reset button or position the circuit breaker to the On position and restart the generator.
