    3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK CAUTION ■ Check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. 3.1 Engine Oil NOTE ■ Using non detergent 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.
  • Page 10 3.2 Fuel If the fuel level is low, refuel the fuel tank to the specified level.. After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely. Use unleaded 87 octane regular grade gasoline only. WARNING ■ Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or old, dirty gasoline. Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.
  • Page 11 High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor. 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.
  • Page 12 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. 3.5 Ambient Temperature Generator output generally declines 1% for every 10° F (5.5° C) above 85° F (29° C). The normal operating range of the generator is -20°...
