2. Service information 2.1 The importance of proper servicing Proper servicing is essential to the safety of the operator and the reliability of the generator. Any error or oversight made by the technician while servicing can easily result in faulty operation and/or damage to the equipment or injury to the operator.
2.3 Service rules · Use genuine KIPOR or KIPOR-recommended parts and lubricants or their equivalents. Parts that do not meet Kipor’s design specifications may damage the engine. · Use the special tools designed for the product. · Always install new gaskets, O-rings, etc. when reassembling components.
· Clamp the wire harnesses securely so that they do not interfere with the rotating parts, moving parts and hot parts. · Route and connect the wire harnesses properly. Be sure that the harnesses are not slack, twisted or pulled overly taut. ·...

(2) Add the proper viscosity engine oil to the upper limit if oil level is low. Be careful to over fill. B. Changing engine oil (1) Remove the oil dipstick and unscrew oil drain plug to drain used oil. (2) Replace the drain plug and secure tightly. (3) Add the proper viscosity oil to the upper oil limit level.
(3) Blow the inner side of filter element using compressed air or lightly knock it to remove dirt. If any dirt remains, change the element. Be sure to use a genuine Kipor element to maintain a proper seal and avoid engine damage.
Page 23
Attention ■ Don’t operate the generator without the filter element in place or serious engine damage may result. 3.5 Spark Plug Servicing (1) Remove the spark plug cap, and use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug. (2) Check the condition of the porcelain insulator. Replace the spark plug if it is chipped or cracked. (3) Remove carbon or other deposits with a stiff wire brush.
(6) Reinstall the spark plug and screw it tightly after regulating, the specified torque is 18.44~22.13 ft lbs. (25~30 N.m). Adjusting valve clearance Attention Valve adjustment should only be performed on a cool engine. (1) Remove valve cover. Gasket of cylinder head cover cylinder head cover (2) Pull the starter rope gently and set the piston in top dead center (the scale of starting wheel should align with the sign “△”...
(4) If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: a. Hold rocker axis using the wrench and loosen the lock nut. b. Loosen the lock nut of rocker axis to gain the specified intake and exhaust valve clearance. c. Hold rocker axis using a wrench and tighten the lock nut. d.

8.2 Ignition coil and trigger A. Disassembly and reassembly Trigger Wire holding board Ignition coil B. Inspection (1) Ignition coil ● With an ohmmeter check the resistance between the two wires going to the coil primary resistance 0.8~1.3Ω ●Check resistance between one end of primary ignition coil terminals and spark plug cap to measure sub resistance of ignition coil.
Page 35
(2) Trigger Test the resistance between the trigger wires. Resistance of trigger 80~130Ω Adjustment: Adjust the clearance between trigger and salient of the rotor. 0.020~0.030 in. clearance of trigger (0.50~0.75mm) Insert the gauge between the salient of the trigger and the rotor to measure the clearance. If it is not within the specified range, readjust the trigger to the recommended clearance.
