STOPPING PROCEDURES
STOPPING YOUR GENERATOR
Make sure all electrical appliances are unplugged before
stopping the generator!
1) Turn breaker (B) Fig.6 “OFF” by lowering it.
2) Turn the engine power “ON” switch (A) to the “OFF” position
by lowering it.
3) Close the fuel shut-off valve (C) by bringing it upwards.
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 in-
stalling 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:
2) 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.
3) Connect the lights next.
4) 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 into a UL/CSA listed voltage surge protector, then connect the UL/CSA listed voltage
surge protector to the generator.
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
VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCh
Before plugging in any electrical equipment to the control panel, the desired voltage (120V
duplex receptacle or 120/240V twist lock receptacle) must be selected. Position the voltage
selector switch (A) Fig.7 upwards to use the 120V duplex receptacle (B) or downwards to
use the 120/240V twist lock receptacle (C).
120V AC DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
For normal 120V operation, plug your appliance or power bar into one of the duplex 120V
receptacles (B) Fig.7.
DUAL 120V/240V AC TWIST LOCK RECEPTACLE
This twist lock receptacle is equipped with a neutral to split the 240V into 2-120V. This 120/240V twist lock receptacle (C) is a NEMA L14-30 twist
lock receptacle and requires a NEMA L14-30 plug (not supplied) 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.
RESETS AND CIRCUIT BREAKER
The control panel contains 2 reset buttons, a 20 amp reset (D) for the duplex 120V receptacle, a 30 amp reset (E) for the L14-30 twist lock receptacle
and a main circuit breaker (F). If an overload occurs (reached maximum capacity), the corresponding reset button and the circuit breaker will “trip”
to their “Off” position, causing the generator to automatically shut off. Disconnect all electrical items from the control panel. Press the tripped reset
button, then position the circuit breaker to the On position and restart the generator. If the reset and circuit breaker continues to “trip”, the electrical
item or items are exceeding the amperage capacity of this generator, reduce electrical charge or use a more powerful generator.
