*Fuel consumption depends on many factors, such as load, fuel quality, season, altitude, technical condition of the
generator.
To ensure reliability and increase the engine service life, peak powers may be slightly limited by circuit breakers.
The optimal operating conditions are ambient temperature of 17-25°C, barometric pressure of 0.1 MPa (760 mm Hg),
and relative humidity of 50-60%. Under these environmental conditions, the generator can provide maximum perfor-
mance in terms of the declared specifications.
In the event of deviations from these environmental indicators, the generator performance may vary.
Please note that continuous loads exceeding 80% of the generator's rated power are not recommended in order to
extend its service life.
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.
IMPORTANT!
The generator housing is insulated from the current-carrying L and N conductors. The generator must be
grounded in all cases, except for an IT system with an insulated neutral wire and bonding. A grounded
IT system requires the use of an insulation monitoring device.
IMPORTANT!
OIL LEVEL INDICATOR OIL LEVEL INDICATOR
When the oil level falls below the level required for operation, the oil level indicator lights up, and then the engine stops
automatically. The engine will not start until oil is added.
AC INDICATOR AC INDICATOR
When the generator is running and producing electricity, the AC indicator light is on.
OVERLOAD INDICATOR OVERLOAD INDICATOR
The overload indicator lights up when the connected generator is overloaded, the inverter control unit overheats or the
AC output voltage rises.
If the overload indicator goes on, the engine will continue to operate, but the generator will no longer produce electricity.
In this case, you must perform the following steps:
1. Turn off all connected electrical appliances and stop the engine.
2. Reduce the total power of the connected devices until the nominal power of the generator is reached.
3. Check if the vent grid is clogged. Remove excess dirt or debris, if any.
4. After checking, start the engine.
IMPORTANT!
DC FUSE 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" button.
TERMS OF USE OF INVERTER GENERATOR
K&S BASIC generators were initially designed as an IT system
with basic protection by insulation of hazardous live parts
according to DIN VDE 0100-410.
Make sure that the control panel, the blinds and the underside
of the inverter are well cooled and protected against the ingress
of small solids, dirt, and water. Improper operation of the cool-
er can cause damage to the motor, inverter or alternator.
GENERATOR OPERATION
The overload indicator may light up within several seconds after
start-up or when connecting electrical devices requiring a high start-
ing current, such as a compressor or voltage indicator. However, this
is not a malfunction.
