Always stop engine before refueling. Wait 5 minutes before restarting. Keep any source of ignition away from the fuel tank at all times. he portable generator is not meant to be used as a permanent back-up power system for the home. A permanently installed stationary generator is designed to be safely used for this specific purpose.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ■ Our generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to these instructions. Read and understand the owner's manual before operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage. ■Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide.
Page 7
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 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.

■Never operate the generator with the door open or any panels removed. Do not operate in any enclosure such as an RV compartment. ■Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running. ■The generator is a potential source of electrical shocks when misused;...
3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. 3.1 Check the engine oil level WARNING ■ Using non detergent or 2-stroke eng ine oil could shorten the engine's service life. ■ Use a high-detergent, premium quality four cycle engine oil, certified to meet or exc U.S.
CAUTION ■Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage. ■The oil Alert System will automatically stop the engine before the oil level fal ls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, it is still advisable to visually inspect the oil level before each use.
GASOLINES CONTAINING ALTERNATE FUELS If you decide to use a gasoline containing ethanol be sure its octane rating is no lower than the specification. Do not use a blend that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasoline containing methanol. .3 Check the air cleaner heck the air cleaner elements to be sure they are clean and in good condition.
4. STARTING THE GENERATOR CAUTION ■ When starting the generator after adding fuel for the first time, after long-term storage, or after running out of fuel, turn the fuel valve lever to the "ON" position then wait 10 to 20 seconds before starting the engine. a.

5. GENERATOR USE WARNING ■To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy wire between the generator's ground terminal and an external ground source. Ground Terminal 接地端 CAUTION ■ Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes. For continuous operation do not exceed the rated power.

NOTE ■You may use DC receptacle when using AC supply. ■If you want to use AC and DC receptacle simultaneously, the total output should not be over the sum output of AC and DC. ■Electrical equipment containing the wiring and plug should not have defect. Control panel 交流插座...
5.1 AC Application 1. Start the engine and make sure the green output ind icator light comes on. 2. Confirm that the appliance to be used is s witched off and plug in the appliance. CAUTION ■ Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting them to the generator.
5.2 Output and Overload Indicators he green output indicator light will remain ON during normal operating conditions. If the generator is overloaded or if there is a short in the connecte appliance the output indicator will go OFF and the overload indicator will go ON and cu rrent to the connected appliance will be shut off.
The two 120V receptacles are rated at 20 and 30 amps respectively.Should this current be exceeded, the circuit protection device willactivate and cut allcurrent to the receptacle. This will be indicated by the push button popping out. Reduce the load to the receptacle and reset the circuit protector by pushing in the button.
.4 Smart Throttle When the SMART thro ttle is placed in the on position, engine speed is kept at le automatically when the electrical load is disconnected and returns to the roper speed required by the electrical load when the load is reconnected. The ngine speed varies according to the amount of load applied to the generator.
a start capacitor as an extra cost option. The lack of a start capacitor can cause the air conditi oner to draw too high a starting current and overload the enerator. Contact your air conditioner dealer if you consistently have roblems starting your air conditioner with the generator.

■The battery gives off explosive gases: keep sparks, 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 shie A. If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water. B.
6. STOPPING THE GENERATOR To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch OFF. In normal use: 1. Switch off the connected equipment and pull the plug from the receptacle. 2. Turn off the ignition swit 3. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. The emission of fuel vapors is a source of pollution as well. The Kipor generator engine utiliz es a precise air-fuel ratio and emission control ystem to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, NO , hydrocarbons, and vaporative fuel emissions.
Page 30
Kipor have been manufactured to the same production standard as the original parts. The use of replacement parts or accessories which are not designed by Kipor may affect the engine emission performance. The manufacturers of replacement parts and accessories have the responsibility to guarantee that their replacement products will not adversely affect emission performance.
Page 31
Air Quality Index (only for California certified models) ARB requires that an air quality index label be attached to every certified ngine showing the engine emission information for the emission duration period. The label is provided for the user to compare the emission erformance of different engines.
7.2 Maintenance Schedule OTE: (1) Log hours of operation to determine proper maintenance. (2) Service more frequently when used in dusty areas. (3) These items should be serviced by an authorized dealer unless the owner has the proper tools and is mechanically proficient. See the service manual.
1. Open the left side maintenance cover. . Take out the oil outlet plug. . Remove the drain bolt, and drain the oil. Retighten the bolt securely. . Refill with the recommended oil and check the level. 5. Close the left side maintena nce cover.
7.5 Spark Plug Service Recommended spark plug: WR7DC To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped nd free of deposits. 1. Open the left side maintenance c over. 2. Remove the spark plug cap. Spark plug wrench Fig, 15 Spark plug 3.
