DIESEL GENERATOR USE AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Read this manual carefully before operating the generator.
Work Area
- 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.
Electrical Safety
- The generator produces electricity that can cause electric shock in the event
of failure to observe safety precautions.
- 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 generator connections to the mains supply must be carried out by a
certied electrician in accordance with all electrical codes and regulations.
- Connect the electric generator to the protective ground before operation.
- 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.
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.
- Make sure there are no foreign objects on the generator when it is turned on.
- Always keep proper footing and balance when starting the generator.
- Do not overload the generator; use it for its intended purpose only.

NOTE!
Do not operate single-phase and three-phase circuit breakers at
the same time to prevent electric shock and avoid damage to your
electrical devices and the generator!
(Circuit breakers are shown in Figs. 3 and 4)
To ensure the reliability of the generator and increase its lifespan, the peak
capacities may be slightly limited by circuit breakers.
The optimum 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 such ambient
conditions, the generator can guarantee maximum performance in terms of the
stated specications. In case of deviations from the above ambient values, the
performance of the generator can be dierent.
Please note that in order to preserve the lifespan of the generator, continuous
loads should not exceed 80% of the rated power.

9
It is recommended to ground the generator before operating it for the rst time.
Before starting the device, remember that the total power of the connected power
consumers should not exceed the rated power of the generator.
Types of Power Consumers and Start-up Current
There are two types of power consumers (electrical devices connected to the
generator): active and reactive. Active power consumers include all power
consumers, whose power input is converted into heat (heaters).
Reactive power consumers include all power consumers equipped with an electric
motor. When starting the engine, start-up current occur briey, the magnitude
of which is based on the engine design and purpose. The magnitude of occurring
start-up currents should be considered when selecting a generator.
Most electric tools have a start-up current ratio of 2-3. This means that the
operation of such tools requires a generator, the power of which is 2-3 times the
power of the connected power consumer. Power consumers such as compressors,
pumps, washing machines have the highest start-up current ratio.
CHECK BEFORE GETTING STARTED
Checking the fuel level
1. Unscrew the fuel cap and check the fuel level in the tank.
2. Fill fuel to the level of the fuel lter and make sure there is no air in the fuel
system.
3. Tighten the fuel cap securely.
Fig. 2
Checking the oil level (Fig. 2)
1. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe it
out with a clean cloth.
2. Insert the dipstick without screwing
it in.
3. Check the oil level by a mark on the
oil dipstick.
4. Add oil if its level is below the mark
on the oil dipstick.
5. Tighten the oil dipstick.

GETTING STARTED
Before starting the engine make sure that the power rating of tools or power
consumers corresponds to that of the generator. Do not exceed the rated power
of the generator. Do not connect any devices before the engine start!
Commissioning
In the rst 20 operating hours of the generator, the following requirements should
be met:
1. During commissioning, do not connect power consumers, the power of which
exceeds 50% of the rated (operating) power of the device.
2. Be sure to change the oil after the rst 20 operating hours. It is better to drain oil
while the engine is still hot after operation to ensure quick and complete oil draining.
Use care when the generator is running:
- You can operate the generator if the voltmeter shows a value of 230V +/-10% (50
Hz); and a value of 400V +/-10% (50 Hz) for three-phase generators.
- Monitor the voltmeter and stop the generator if the value is too high.
- Only connect to a DC outlet to charge the battery. When charging batteries, pay
attention to the correct polarity (plus/+ to plus/+, minus/- to minus/-).
- First connect the charger cable to the battery and only then to the generator.
The generator should be connected to the mains supply by a skilled electrician.
Connection errors can cause serious damage to equipment.
- Do not use a voltage of 12 V concurrently with 230 V (400 V for three-phase
generators).
To stop the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect all the devices connected to the generator, set the circuit breaker to OFF.
2. Allow the generator to operate at idle for 3 minutes so that the alternator cools
down.
3. Set the ignition key to OFF.
4. For models KS 14200HDES ATSR and KS 14200HDES 1/3 ATSR, engines have safety
switches (Fig. 1, no. 9). Use it only in an emergency.
In the power supply mode, the generator should operate no longer
than 30 minutes in the range from rated to maximum power.
Do not change the controller settings in terms of the amount
of fuel or speed governor (this adjustment was made at the
factory). Otherwise, this may result in changes in the engine
operation or its failure. Any modications in the generator design
deprive the user of the right to warranty service!
IMPORTANT!
ATTENTION - DANGER!

18
STARTING THE GENERATOR
- Do not connect any power consumers to the generator before the engine start.
- Connect the terminals to the battery and pay attention to the correct polarity
(plus/+ to plus/+, minus/- to minus/-).
- Set the ignition key to ON.
- Turn the key clockwise to the START position.
- After a successful start, release the key and it will automatically return to the
ON position.
- If the engine doesn’t start after pressing and holding down the key in the
START position for 5 seconds, wait 15 seconds before the next attempt to start.
Lengthy operation of the engine start system may discharge the battery. While
the generator is running, leave the key in the ON position.
- After three minutes of the generator operation, switch the circuit breaker
(circuit breaker Fig. no. 4) to the upper position (ON).
Before connecting devices to the generator, make sure that they are in good
condition. If the device that was connected suddenly stopped or failed,
immediately disconnect the power using a circuit breaker (Fig. 3, no. 4),
disconnect the device and check it.
Do not connect of two or more devices simultaneously.
The start-up of many devices requires high power.
Devices should be connected in turn according to their power rating.
Do not connect any power consumers within the rst 3 minutes
after the generator start.
If the engine does not start after three or four attempts, this may
mean that air has entered the fuel system. Remove air from the fuel
system (drain diesel fuel together with excess air).
IMPORTANT!
ATTENTION - DANGER!

19
Disconnect all devices before stopping the generator! Do not stop the
generator if it has any devices connected to it.
This may disable the generator!
Connecting Power Consumers
After switching on the generator, make sure that the voltmeter readings correspond to
the nominal ones (230V +/-5% @ 50 Hz for single-phase generator and 400V +/-5%
50 Hz for three-phase generator).
KS 14100 HDE 1/3 ATSR та KS 14200 HDES 1/3 ATSR
diesel generator models are suitable for 230 V power consumers
(single-phase generators) and 400 V power consumers (three-
phase generators). Mode switching is allowed only when no power
consumers are connected.
Using as a three-phase generator:
The three-phase diesel generator should have the power distributed to all three
phases, and the power must be balanced at all phases.The power at each of the three
phases must not exceed 1/3 of the total power of the generator.The balance tolerance
should not exceed 20%.
If only1 or2 phasesareloaded,the generator willfail.The totalpowerand total current
at all three phases must not exceed the normal load and amperage of the generator.
Failure to comply with these requirements may damage the primary
and secondary windings and the AVR unit.
If the overload resulted in automatic operation of the generator
circuit breaker, reduce the load. Repeated power-on of the generator
is possible 5 minutes after disabling.
NOTE!
Do not operate single-phase and three-phase circuit breakers at
the same time to prevent electric shock and avoid damage to your
electrical devices and the generator!
(Circuit breakers are shown in Figs. 3 and 4)
