1. PREFACE
Thank you for your purchase of K&S Basic generator. This owner’s manual
contains safety instructions, a description of the use and commissioning of K&S
Basic generators and procedures for their maintenance.
The generator manufacturer may make some modications that may not be
reected in this manual. The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes
in the product design, conguration and construction. The images and drawings
in this manual are for reference only and may dier from the actual components
and inscriptions on the products.
Contact information that you are free to use in case of any problems can be found
at the end of this manual. All information in this manual is correct to the best of
our knowledge and belief at the date of its publication.The current list of service
centers can be found on the ocial importer's website: www.ks-power.de/en
Please read this manual carefully before rst in order to ensure
equipment integrity and avoid possible injuries.

WARNING - DANGER!
2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1. WORK AREA
- The generator must not be used in premises with poor ventilation since exhaust
gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is life threatening!
- Do not use the generator in the rain, snow and high humidity. Do not touch
the generator with wet hands and expose to direct sunlight for a long time. It

3
is recommended to store and use the generator indoors or in well-ventilated
premises.
- Always install the generator on a at solid horizontal surface. The generator is
equipped with dampers to reduce vibration during operation and avoid damage to
the surface where the generator is installed.
- Do not use the generator near ammable gases, liquids or dust. During operation
of the generator, its exhaust system becomes very hot. This may cause re or
explosion of these materials.
- Keep the work area clean and well lit to avoid injuries.
- Keep unauthorized persons, children and animals away from the running
generator.
- Always wear protective shoes and protective gloves when operating the
generator.
2.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- The wiring diagram for the generator must comply with the installation
rules and applicable statutory requirements.
- All wiring connections of the generator must be carried out by a certied
electrician in accordance with all electrical codes and regulations.
- Avoid the generator supply from the mains during restoration of the power
supply.
- Avoid operating the generator in high-humidity environments. Do not allow
moisture to enter the generator, as this increases the risk of electric shock.
- Avoid direct contact with grounded surfaces (pipes, radiators, etc.).
- Be careful when working with the power cord. Replace it immediately in
case of damage, as damaged power cord increases the risk of electric shock.
- All connections of the generator to the mains must be carried out by a
certied electrician.
- Connect the electric generator to the protective ground before operation
using the terminal located on the generator control panel.
- Do not connect/disconnect the generator to/from power consumers while
standing in water, on wet or damp soil.
- Do not touch live parts of the generator.
- Only connect the generator to the power consumers that correspond to the
electrical specications and power rating of the generator.
- Keep all electrical equipment dry and clean. Replace damaged or worn
wiring.Worn, damaged, or rusted terminals must be replaced as well.
2.3. PERSONAL SAFETY
- Do not operate the generator when you are tired or under the inuence of potent
drugs, alcohol or medication. During operation, inattention can cause serious injury.
- Avoid inadvertent start-up. Make sure the power switch is set to OFF when turning
o the generator.
! !
УВАГА - НЕБЕЗПЕЧНО!
The device generates electricity. Observe safety precautions to
avoid electric shock.

4
- Do not operate the generator in areas with poor ventilation. Exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide, which is life threatening!
- Make sure there are no foreign objects on the generator when it is turned on. Use
the product for its intended purpose only. The generator customer using the device for
other than the intended purpose shall be deprived of the right to free warranty repair.
Do not sit, stand on the generator and misuse the equipment.
- Always keep proper footing and balance when starting the generator.
- Do not overload the generator, use it for its intended purpose only.
2.4. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GASOLINE POWERED GENERATOR OPERATION
Please note the following:
- Do not start the generator when it is under load.
- The generator must be installed at least 1 m away from explosive and ammable
substances and objects since its engine heats up during operation.
- Do not ll the fuel tank when the engine is running.
- Do not smoke while refueling.
- For the generator, A-92 gasoline is recommended. After lling the tank, remove all
excess fuel from the surface. Do not use kerosene or other fuel. Otherwise, the engine
may be damaged.
- Observe the fuel tank while lling in order to avoid overlling.
- Do not touch the exhaust system after starting the generator and during its
operation.
- Avoid operating the generator near water, in the rain or snow if there is a risk of it
becoming wet.
- Before starting the generator, learn how to stop the generator in case of an
emergency.
! !
WARNING - DANGER!
Failure to comply with these requirements may result in re or explosion of
the generator, as well as re in the building wiring.
Fuel pollutes soil and groundwater. Avoid gasoline leaking out
of the fuel tank!
