2. SERVICE and MAINTENANCE 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 and void the warranty. • Use special tools designed for the product when specified.
• 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 When it is used in dusty place, filter should be cleaned every 10 hours or everyday. ③ Maintenance should be carried out by the qualified technicians. PLEASE READ KIPOR OPERATION MANUAL. 3.2 Engine oil ● Checking the oil level Stop the engine and check the oil level, be sure to put the engine on a flat floor when checking.
● Engine oil change (1)Remove dipstick and oil drain bolt and drain out the used oil. (2)Tighten the oil drain bolt securely. (3)Pour the specified amount of fresh engine oil through the oil filler port.(Engine oil capacity : 1.2 qt (1.1L) ※...
(2) Stop the engine and disconnect the orange wire of the low oil alarm after insuring that the engine oil is at the proper level. Test the conductivity between the end shown in the figure and the case of engine, No conductivity indicates a normal condition.

(4)Install the air cleaner element in the air cleaner case, close cabinet door. Attention ! ■Dirty air filter will affect the air into the carburetor, and reduce the engine work power. If the engine works in dirty place, please replace the air filter often. ■Don’t operate the generator without the filter element in place or serious engine damage may result.
3.6 Valve clearance adjustment Attention ! Valve adjustment should only be performed on a cool engine. (1)Remove spark plug, valve cover bolt, valve cover and valve cover gasket. Spark plug Valve cover gasket Valve cover (2)Insert a feeler gauge in the spark plug installation hole; Rotate the engine so the piston is at top dead center and both intake and exhaust valves are closed.
3.7 Fuel switch and fuel filter cleaning Fuel tank Sealing gasket Filter core or element Fuel switch Attention ! ■ Keep smoking materials and any open flames away during fuel system maintenance. ■ Make sure that there is no leaking fuel after service. (1)Drain the fuel from the tank then remove the fuel tank.
