If a problem should arise, or if you have any questions about the generator, consult an authorized KIPOR dealer. KIPOR generator is designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand the Owner's Manual before operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in...
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ■The generators are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to the instructions. Read and understand the Owner's Manual before operating the generator. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage. !WARNING ■Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas.
2.3 Serial Number and Bar Code Location The engine serial number is stamped on the engine block to the left of the oil drain plug. In most cases the battery will have to be removed to view it clearly. Refer to this number when ordering parts or making technical inquiries.
3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. 3.1 Engine Oil WARNING ■ Using non detergent or 2-stroke engine oil could shorten the engine's service life. ■ Use a high-detergent, premium quality four cycle engine oil, certified to meet or exceed U.S. Automobile manufacturer's requirements for API Service Classification SG/SF.
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 falls 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 or methanol, be sure its octane rating is no lower than the specification. Do not use a blend that contains more than 15% ethanol. An ethanol blend will produce lower power and higher fuel consumption.
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" posit-ion and then wait for 10 to 20 seconds before starting the engine.

4.2High altitude operation At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main jet in the carburetor. If you continuously operate the generator at altitudes higher than 5000 feet or 1500 meters above sea level, have your authorized dealer install the high altitude main jet kit.
5. GENERATOR USE 5.1 Warnings and Cautions WARNING ■To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. The ground terminal is connected to the generator frame and the ground terminal of each receptacle. Connect a length of heavy gauge wire between the generator's ground terminal and an external ground source if required by local code.
5.2 AC applications 1. Start the engine and make sure the output indicator light (green) comes on. 2. Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off, and plug in the appliance. Applying Loads CAUTION ■Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator light (red) may damage the generator.
5.4 AC Load Management The generator has the following receptacles: 1- 240V/50A 14-50R 1- 120V/20A 5-20R duplex 1- 120V/30A L5-30R twistlock Maximum load from the various receptacles is as follows: - 240V AC at 25 amps is available from the 50A receptacle. Connecting this receptacle to a 50A service receptacle will allow 25 amps @ 120 volts to two separate legs.
5.5 Smart Throttle Engine speed is kept at idle automatically when the electrical load is disconnected and it returns to the proper speed when the load is reconnected. This position is recommended to minimize fuel consumption while in operation Smart throttle Smart Throttle Switch NOTE ■When high electrical load appliances are connected simultaneously.
5.7 DC application The DC receptacle may be used for charging 12 volt automotive-type batteries only. It is not designed to operate DC motors. Output voltage is 15-30V. DC output will vary according to the position of the Smart throttle switch. 1.
■ Keep out of reach of children. The DC output is to be used to charge batteries only. Serious damage to the stator windings can occur if connected to a DC motor or transformer. 2. Start the generator. ■ The DC receptacle may be used while the AC power is in use. ■...
6. STOPPING THE GENERATOR 6.1 Normal Shutdown In normal use: 1. Switch off the connected equipment and pull the plug from the receptacle. 2. Turn off the engine switch. 3. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position. 6.2 Emergency Shutdown To stop the generator in an emergency, turn the engine switch 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 utilizes a precise air-fuel ratio and emission control system to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, NO , hydrocarbons, and evaporative fuel emissions.
