(When installing a Double-Throw Transfer Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used).

OPERATION OF GENERATOR IN RAIN, WET, ICY, OR FLOODED CONDITIONS.

• Water is an excellent conductor of electricity! Water which comes in contact with electrically charged components can transmit electricity to the frame and other surfaces, resulting in electrical shock to anyone contacting them.
• Operate generator in a clean, dry, well ventilated area. Make sure hands are dry before touching unit.

TAMPERING WITH FACTORY SET ENGINE SPEED SETTINGS.

• Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation.
• Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in overheating of attachments and could cause a fire.
• Never attempt to “speed-up” the engine to obtain more performance.
• Both the output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of standard by this practice, endangering attachments and the user.

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.

ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE FUEL TANK WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.

• Gasoline and gasoline vapors can become ignited by coming in contact with hot components such as the muffler, engine exhaust gases, or from an electrical spark.
• Turn engine off and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank. Equip area of operation with a fire extinguisher certified to handle gasoline or fuel fires.

SPARKS, FIRE, HOT OBJECTS

• Cigarettes, sparks, fires, or other hot objects can cause gasoline or gasoline vapors to ignite.
• Add fuel to tank in well ventilated area. Make sure there are no sources of ignition near the generator.

INADEQUATE VENTILATION FOR GENERATOR

• Materials placed against or near the generator or operating the generator in areas where the temperature exceeds 40° C ambient (such as storage rooms or garages) can interfere with its proper ventilation features causing overheating and possible ignition of the materials or buildings.
• Operate generator in a clean, dry, well ventilated area a minimum of four feet from any building, object or wall. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT

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:
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

120V AC DUPLEX RECEPTACLES & RESETS
For normal 120V operation, plug your appliance or power bar into one of the two duplex 120V receptacles (A & C) Fig.7. Each receptacle has its own reset button (B & D) placed directly above.

120V AC TWIST LOCK RECEPTACLE (NEMA L5-30)
This twist lock receptacle (E) Fig.7 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 appropriate plug, contact a qualified electrician for more information. This receptacle has its own reset button (F) placed directly above.

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 (G) is a NEMA L14-30 twist lock receptacle and requires a NEMA L14-30 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. This receptacle has its own reset button (H) placed directly above.

RESETS AND CIRCUIT BREAKER
The control panel contains 4 reset buttons (20 amp resets (B & D) for the duplex 120V receptacles, 30 amp resets (F & H) for the twist lock receptacles) and a main circuit breaker (I). 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.

WATTAGE CALCULATIONS

WATTAGE CALCULATIONS
IMPORTANT! Never exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Serious damage to the generator or appliance could result from an overload.

1. “Starting” and “Running” wattage requirements should always be calculated when matching a generators wattage capacity to the appliance or tool.
2. There are two types of electrical appliances that can be powered by your generator;
   • Items such as radios, light bulbs, televison sets, and microwaves have a “resistive load”. Starting wattage and running wattage are the same.
   • Items such as refrigerators, air compressors, washer, dryer and hand tools that use an electrical motor have an “inductive load”. Inductive load appliances and tools require approx. 2 to 3 times the listed wattage for “starting” the equipment. This initial load only lasts for a few seconds on start-up but is important when figuring your total wattage to be used.
     Always start your largest electric motor first, and then plug in other items, one at a time.
     NOTE: On 120-volt loads the maximum starting wattage should NOT exceed one half of the rated generator wattage.
     Example: a 7500 rated wattage generator = 5500 maximum starting wattage.
     Wattage Requirement Chart below- This is only a guideline, each appliance or electrical device needs to be checked for its specific operating load.

DETERMINING WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS
Note: Volts X Amps = Watts
Example: 120V X 10 Amps = 1200 Watts
Before operating this generator, list all of the appliances and/or tools that are going to operate at the same time. (Then determine the starting wattage requirements and the running wattage requirements by following the example below;

1. Add the total amount of the running wattage of all appliances and/or tools that will be operated at the same time.
   Example 1A:

   • Lights = 100 Watts (Running)
   • Television = 300 Watts (Running)
   • Coffee maker = 1750 Watts (Running)
   • TOTAL = 2150 Watts (Running)

2. Next add the total amount of the starting wattage of any appliances and/or tools that will start and stop during operation.
   Example 1B:

   • Small Refrigerator = 700 Watts (Running) 2200 Watts (Starting)
   • Fan = 200 Watts (Running) 600 Watts (Starting)
   • TOTAL = 900 Watts (Running) 2800 Watts (Starting)

3. The running wattage of examples 1A & 1B totals 3050 watts. The starting wattage totals 2800 watts which is 1900 watts more than the running watts. Take this difference of 1900 starting watts and add to the total running watts of 3050. Therefore:
   1900 Starting Watts + 3050 Running Watts = 4950 Total Watts The generator required to operate the items in example 1A & 1B must have a minimum capacity of at least 4950 starting watts.

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

MAINTAINING YOUR GENERATOR

Engine Oil Replacement
Engine oil should be replaced after the first 20 hours of operation or after the first month of use, it should be replaced every 100 hours or 6 months after. To replace engine oil;

1. Loosen the oil gauge dipstick (A) Fig.8.

2. Place an oil pan underneath drain hex. bolt (B), remove hex. bolt (B) and drain oil.

3. Once all the oil has completely drained, retighten the hex. bolt (B).
   Recommended Engine Oil
   It is recommended to use SAE 10W30 4-stroke gasoline engine oil. For cold weather (below -15ºC) use SAE 5W30.

4. Fill with clean engine oil through the oil gauge dipstick hole, fill then check oil level until the oil level reaches 3/4 up the dipstick or until it reaches the bottom lip of the dipstick hole.
