This document is the user manual for the KINGS 3000W Rated Power Inverter Generator, model AKGE-3.0KGO_01, version V1.2. It provides comprehensive information for safe operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the device.

Function Description:

The KINGS 3000W Inverter Generator is a portable power source designed to supply AC power to various appliances. It utilizes inverter technology, which typically provides cleaner and more stable power suitable for sensitive electronics. The generator is equipped with an engine that drives an alternator to produce electricity. Key features include an economy control switch for improved fuel efficiency and reduced noise, and an overload protection system to safeguard both the generator and connected devices. The manual emphasizes that the generator is designed for portable use and should not be connected to any power outlet or in parallel with other generators. Any other connections must comply with Australian and New Zealand national safety standards (AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 3001) and be performed by qualified personnel.

Output Reset: A button to reset AC output after an overload protection trip.
Breaker Circuit (ON/OFF): Controls the AC output.
AC Receptacle: For connecting electrical appliances.
Fuel Meter: Indicates fuel level.
Spark Plug: Essential for engine ignition.
Air Filter: Filters incoming air for combustion.
Choke Button/Lever: Aids in starting a cold engine.
Carburetor: Mixes fuel and air for combustion.
Ground (Earth) Terminal: For grounding the generator.
Oil Level Gauge & Oil Outlet: For checking and draining engine oil.
Muffler: Reduces engine noise.
Output Light (Green): Indicates AC output is active.
Overload Indicator Light (Red): Blinks when an overload is detected, indicating the inverter unit is overheating or AC output voltage has decreased.
Oil Warning Light: Illuminates when oil level is low, causing the engine to stop automatically.
Recoil Starter: For manual engine starting.
Fuel Cock: Controls fuel flow to the carburetor.

Starting the Engine:

Turn the fuel petcock lever to ON.
Turn the engine switch to ON.
Turn the choke lever to the CHOKE position (if the engine is cold).
Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is felt (compression point), then return and pull swiftly.
Warm up the engine.
Return the choke lever to the run position.
Once warm, a load can be connected.

Stopping the Engine:

Turn off the power switch of connected electrical apparatus and switch the circuit breaker to OFF.
Turn the engine switch to STOP.
Turn the fuel petcock lever to OFF.

Safety Information:

Exhaust Fumes: Poisonous; operate only in well-ventilated areas.
Fuel: Highly flammable and poisonous; turn off engine when refueling, avoid open flames, prevent spills, and seek medical attention if ingested or exposed. Keep upright during operation/transport to prevent leaks.
Engine/Muffler: Can be hot; avoid touching during/after operation, keep flammable materials away, maintain 1m clearance from other objects, and do not operate with a dust cover.
Electric Shock: Never operate in rain/snow or with wet hands.

Maintenance Features:

The manual outlines a periodic maintenance chart with daily, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual checks:

Spark Plug: Check condition, adjust gap, clean, and replace as needed. Recommended Spark Plug: A5RTC (TORCH) with a gap of 0.6-0.7 mm.
Engine Oil: Check level daily, replace monthly (or every 20 hours). Recommended oil: API Service "SJ", SAE 10W30 or 20W40.
- Oil Replacement Procedure: Warm up engine, stop, turn fuel petcock OFF, turn fuel tank cap air vent knob CLOSED, remove cover, remove oil filler cap, tilt generator to drain oil into a pan, return to level, refill to upper level, install cap and cover.
Air Filter: Clean monthly (or every 20 hours), replace as needed.
- Air Filter Maintenance: Remove cover and filter, wash filter in solvent and dry, oil filter and squeeze out excess, insert filter, install cover. Never run engine without filter.
Fuel Filter: Clean monthly (or every 20 hours), replace as needed.
- Fuel Tank Filter Maintenance: Remove cap and filter, clean with solvent, wipe and insert. Ensure cap is securely tightened.
Choke: Check operation monthly (or every 20 hours).
Valve Clearance: Check and adjust every 6 months (or 100 hours) when engine is cold.
Fuel Line: Check for cracks/damage every 3 months (or 50 hours), replace if necessary.
Exhaust System: Check for leakage, retighten/replace gasket every 3 months (or 50 hours). Check muffler screen every 6 months (or 100 hours), clean/replace if necessary.
- Muffler Screen Maintenance: Remove cover, remove muffler screen, pry out spark arrester, clean carbon deposits with wire brush, install screen, install cover.
Carburetor: Check choke operation every 3 months (or 50 hours).
