STOPPING YOUR GENERATOR
Make sure all electrical appliances are unplugged before
stopping the generator!
1) Turn the dial (A) Fig.6 to the "Off" position.
2) Turn the fuel cap lever (B) 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 con-
necting 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.
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 equip-
ment: 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
• ON/CHOKE/OFF DIAL-(A) FIG.7. On cold starts, turn dial to the Choke position before start-
ing generator, once the generator starts turn dial to the On position. On warm starts turn dial
to the On position. Turn dial to the Off position to turn generator off.
• ECONOMICAL MODE SWITCH-(B) FIG.7. 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.
• 120v AC DUPLEX RECEPTACLE (C) FIG.7. For normal 120V operation, plug your appliance
or power bar into one of the duplex 120V receptacles.
• 15A RESET (D) FIG.7. If an overload or short-circuit occurs, the Reset (D) Fig.7 or the internal
overload sensor will "trip" to protect the circuit, causing the generator to automati-cally shut
off. Disconnect all electrical items from the control panel. Press the tripped reset
restart the generator.
• PARALLEL CONNECTIvITY PORTS-(E) FIG.7. It is possible to connect two identical inverter
generators together using optional Parallel Cable Kit (Mod. K-X2P) for combined power output.
Follow instructions provided with the optional Parallel Cord for more instructions.
• GROUNDING TERMINAL-(F) FIG.7. Attach cable to this terminal and ground to earth.
• USB PORT-(G) FIG.7. Connect USB powered devices for charging/operating purposes.
• 12v DC CIGARETTE LIGHTER SOCKET-(H) FIG.7. Connect 12V DC powered devices for
charging/operating purposes.
• INDICATOR LIGHTS-(I, j, K) FIG.7. The Power light (K-green) will remain on during normal operation. If the generator is overloaded or if there
is a short in the connected appliance, the Power light (K) will turn off and the Overload light (J-red) will turn on, the electrical output will be
stopped. If this happens and the reset 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. The Low Oil Warning light (I-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.
