WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
To ensure safe operation --
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with
the engine stopped.
Keep away from cigarette, smoking materials sparks and
other sources of combustion when refueling the
generator. Always refuel in a well-ventilated location.
Wipe up spilled gasoline at once.
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical
system must be made by a qualified electrician and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.
Improper connections can allow electrical current from
the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such
back feed may electrocute utility company workers or
others who contact the lines during a power outage, and
when utility power is restored, the generator may
explode, burn, or cause fires in the building's electrical
system.
Always make a pre-operation inspection (page 9) before
you start the engine. You may prevent an accident or
equipment damage.

3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Be sure to check the generator on a level surface
with the engine stopped.
Using nondetergent oil or 2-stroke engine oil could
shorten the engine's service life.
Use a high-detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil, certified to meet or
exceed U.S.automobile manufacturer's requirements for API Service Classification SG,
SF. SAE10W-30 is recommended by us.
Select the appropriate viscosity for the average temperature in your area.
3.1 Check the engine oil level
Remove the oil filler cap, and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Check the oil level by
inserting the dipstick in the filler hole without screwing it in. (See Fig.3)
The engine may be damaged while running it at low oil level.
The Low Oil Alarm System will automatically stop the
engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.
However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected
shutdown, it is still advisable to visually inspect the oil
level regularly.
3.2 Check the fuel level.
If the fuel level is low, refuel the fuel tank until the level as specified.
After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap seurely.
Use unleaded 87 octane regular grade gasoline.
Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends
exhaust system life.

GASOLINES CONTAINING ALTERNATE FUELS
If you decide to use a gasoline containing ethanol or methanol, be sure its octane
rating is no lower than the specification. Do not use a blend that contains more than
15% ethanol. Do not use gasoline containing methanol that does not also contain co-
solvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use gasoline containing more
than 5% methanol, even if with co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors.
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems
resulting from the use of fuels that contain alcohol is
not covered under the warranty. We cannot en-dorse
the use of fuels containing methanol since evidence of
their suitability is as yet incomplete.
Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find
out if the fuel contains alcohol, if it does, confirm the
type and percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any
undersirable operating symptoms while using a
gasoline that contains alcohol, or one that you think
contains alcohol, replace it by a gasoline that you
know does not contain alcohol.
3.3 Check the air cleaner.
Check the air cleaner element to be sure it is clean and in good condition.
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid
engine wear will result from contaminants, such as dust
and dirt, being drawn through the carburetor, into the
engine.
Unsnap the two clips, remove the element from the air cleaner cover and check it for
cleanliness, or replace the element if the paper is dirty or torn or the rubber frame is
brittle or distorted. (See Fig.4)

5. GENERATOR USE
To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the
generator should be grounded. Connect a length of
heavy wire between the generator's ground teminal and
an external ground source.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one
receptacle.
Do not connect the generator to a household circuit.
This could cause the damage to the generator or to
electrical appliances in the house.
Do not modify or use the generator for other purpose
than it is intended for. Also observe the following when
using the generator.
Do not connect generators in parallel.
Do not connect an extension to exhaust pipe.
When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a
rubber sheathed flexible cable.
Limit length of extension cables; 60m for cables of
22
1.5mm and 100m for cables of 2.5mm .
Keep the generator away from other electric cables or
wires such as commercial power supply lines.
The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is
in use. If you use both at the same time, be sure not to
exceed the total power for AC and DC.
Most appliance motors require more than their rated
wattage for start-up.
WARNING
CAUTION
AC applications
1. Start the engine and make sure the output indicator light (green) comes on.
2.Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off, and plug in the appliance.
NOTE
High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich.
Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel
jet in the carburetor and readjusting the pilot screws. If you always operate the
generator at altitudes higher than 5,000 feet (1500M) above sea level, have your
authorized KIPOR dealer perform these carburetor modifications.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately
3.5% for each 1000 feet (300M ) increase in altitude. The affect of altitude on the
horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the
carburetor is jetted for may result in reduced
performance, overheating, and serious engine damage
caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
CAUTION
Fig. 8 Starter grip
Starter grip
To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the
battery, connect charging cable first to the generator,
then to the battery. Disconnect cable first at the battery.
Before connecting charging cables to a battery that is
installed in a vehicle, disconnect the vehicles grounded
battery cable. Reconnect the vehicle's grounded
battery cable after the charging cables are removed.
This procedure will prevent the possibility of a short
circuit and sparks if you make accidental contact
between a battery terminal and the vehicle's frame or
body.
Do not attempt to start an automobile engine with the
generator still connected to the battery. The generator
may be damaged.
Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive
charging cord. Do not re-verse the charging cables, or
serious damage to the generator and/or battery may
occur.
The battery gives off explosive gases; keep spark,
flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate
ventilation when charging.
The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Contact
with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear
protective clothing and a face shield.
-If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
-If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at
least 15 minutes and call a physician.
Electrolyte is poisonous.
-If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk
and follow with milk of magnesia or vegetable oil and
call a physician.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

is compatible with the environment. We suggest
you take it in a sealed container to your local
service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in
the trash or pour it on the ground.
2. AIR CLEANER SERVICE
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when
operating the generator in extremely dusty areas.
Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for
cleaning. They are flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.
Never run the generator without the air cleaner.
Rapid engine wear may result.
(1) Unsnap the clips, remove the air cleaner cover.
(2) If the paper element is dirty, replace it with a new one. Do not clean the paper
element. If the rubber housing is brittle or distorted or the element does not
completely seal inside the cover, replace the element.
(3) Reinstall the air cleaner cover.
NOTE
WARNING
CAUTION
3. FUEL SEDIMENT CUP SERVICE
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive
under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow
flames or sparks in the area.
The filter prevents dirt or water which may be in the fuel tank from entering the
carburetor. If the engine has not been run for a long time, the filter should be
cleaned.
(1) Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
(2) Remove the sediment cup by turning it counterclockwise.
(3) Clean the cup and filter thoroughly.
(4) Reassemble. Do not damage the O-ring.
After installing the sediment cup, be sure to tighter
it securely. Check for fuel leaks and make sure the
area is dry before starting the engine.
4. SPARK PLUG SERVICE (See Fig 7)
RECOMMENDED SPARK PLUG: F6RTC
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and
free of deposits.
(1) Remove the spark plug cap.
(2) Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
3. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug.
4. Visually inspect the plug. Discard it if the insulator is cracked or chipped.
Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it is to be reused.
5. Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge.
The gap should be 0.70-0.80mm (0.028-0.031in). Correct as necessary by
carefully bending the side electrode. (See Fig8)
6. Install the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
7. After a new spark plug has been seated by hand ,it should be tightened 1/2turn
8. Reinstall the spark plug cap on the spark plug securely.

8. TRANSPORTING / STORAGE
8.1 When transporting the generator, turn the fuel valve lever OFF and keep the
generator level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapors or spilled fuel may ignite.
8.2 Extended Storage:
1. Be sure the storage area is free of exc-
essive humidity and dust.
2. Drain the fuel
a. Open the left side maintenance cover.
b. Turn fuel valve lever to ON and then
loosen the carburetor drain screw. Drain
the gasoline from the carburetor and fuel
tank into a suitable container.
c.Tighten the carburetor screw, close the fuel valve lever and left side
maintenance cover.
3. Once a month, recharge the battery.
4. Change the engine oil.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the
cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil, then reinstall
the spark plug.
6. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston is
coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust valves are
closed.
Storing the engine in this position will help protect it from internal corrosion.
8.3 Exercising the Generator:
Any small engine is very susceptible to fuel varnishing. Gasoline fuel systems
have very small orifices and passageways which can easily become clogged by
fuel residue. This can lead to hard starting and rough running.
Fuel preservatives are readily available at leading RV and marine dealers.
Regularly add a fuel preservative and exercise the generator by running it at a
50% load for 60 minutes every month. This will also help remove moisture from
the alternator windings.
Drain the carburetor bowl prior to any storage period longer than 30 days.
