Pre-Start Check - King Canada KCG-65 Instruction Manual

WARNING! To prevent permanent damage to your engine, you MUST check oil level, fuel level and air cleaner filter before starting.
MOUNTING
Before operating your engine, mount it on a flat, level surface which can withstand the
weight and vibrations of the engine. To do this, bolt the engine using the 4 mounting holes
in the base (hardware not included). If mounted to a permanent indoor location, to
prevent carbone monoxide poisoning, a proper exhaust ventilation system MUST be
installed.

PRE-START CHECK

OIL LEVEL
WARNING! This engine has been shipped from the factory without oil or very little
oil in the crankcase. Operating your engine without the correct amount of oil can
damage it.
Oil crankcase capacity: 0.6 litres (KCG-65), 1.1 litres (KCG-130).
Always check the oil level before starting the engine, make sure the engine is on
a level surface. To check oil level;
1) Turn the oil gauge dipstick (A) Fig.1 counterclock-
wise, remove it and clean it with a clean cloth.
2) Fully reinsert the oil gauge dipstick and pull it out to
check the oil level.
3) If the oil level is halfway up the dipstick or below, refill
with SAE 10W30 oil through the dipstick hole until the
oil level reaches 3/4 up the dipstick or until it reaches
the bottom lip of the dipstick hole as shown in
illustration.
4) Reposition the oil gauge dipstick and tighten it by turning clockwise.
FUEL LEVEL
WARNING! Make sure there is enough fuel in the fuel tank before operating.
1) If it is necessary to add fuel, first make sure the engine switch is OFF, then open the
fuel cap (A) Fig.2 by turning it counterclockwise.
2) Make sure the fuel filter cup (B) is positioned inside the tank opening before refueling.
3) The fuel filter cup (B) comes with a max. fuel level (C), do not fill the fuel tank past the
max. fuel level. When refueling, keep in mind all safety precautions and make sure to
add enough fuel based on usage. Use clean unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87
octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Fuel tank capacity: 3,6 litres (KCG-65), 6,5 litres
(KCG-130).
AIR CLEANER FILTERS

storage, the following steps should be done when checking air cleaner filters;
1) Remove the wing nut (B) Fig.3, lift to remove the air cleaner cover (A) as shown.
2) Remove the wing nut and washer (D) Fig.3, lift and remove air filters (C) Fig.3 from its
base. Remove the foam filter (A) Fig.4 from the paper filter (B), wash foam filter in
kerosene, squeeze kerosene out, soak foam filter in engine oil and squeeze engine oil
out.
