STOPPING YOUR GENERATOR
Make sure all electrical appliances are unplugged before
stopping the generator!
There are a few methods to turn this generator off.
1) Press the stop button (A) Fig.7.
2) Lower the circuit breaker (B) to the off position.
3) Press the "lock" button (C) on the remotre control.
Once the engine is off, close the fuel shut-off valve (D).
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.
120V AC TWIST LOCK RECEPTACLE (B) FIG.8. This 120V twist lock receptacle (B) Fig.8
is a NEMA L5-30 twist lock receptacle and requires a NEMA L5-30 plug to make the
connection. If you are unsure about the use of this twist lock receptacle or how to wire the
supplied plug, contact a qualified electrician for more information.
INDICATOR LIGHTS-(C, D, E) FIG.8.
-Overload light (C-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 seconds 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.
-Power Output light (D-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 (D) will turn off and the Overload light (C-red) will turn on, the electrical output will be stopped.
-Low Oil Warning light (E-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.
STOP SWITCH-(F) FIG.8. Press this button to stop the engine. Disconnect electrical load before pressing the stop button.
ECONOMICAL MODE SWITCH-(G) 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.
REMOTE SWITCH-(H) FIG.8. This switch must in the on position to use the remove control.
