Page 12 Serial number and bar code identification and location The generator serial number identifies your particular unit and is important when ordering parts and accessories. The bar code is used by your dealer and Coast Distribution for warranty administration. The serial number can be found stamped on the engine block above oil dipstick.
Page 13: Pre-Operation Check
4. PRE-OPERATION CHECK ■ Be sure to check the generator on a level surface with the engine stopped. 1. Check the engine oil level. ■ Using non detergent oil or 2 cycle engine oil could shorten the engine's service life. Use a high-detergent, premium quality 4-stroke engine oil, certified to meet or exceed U.S.
Page 14 NOTE: The Low Oil Alarm 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 regularly. You must screw down the dipstick completely to measure the oil level.
Page 15 Fuel tank capacity: 0.9 gal (3.4 liters) Gasoline containing alternate fuels If you decide to use a gasoline containing ethanol, be sure its octane rating is lower than the specification. Do not use a blend that contains more than 15% ethanol. Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
Page 16 3. Check the air cleaner Check the air cleaner element to be sure it is clean and in good condition. Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover. Press the latch tab on the top of the air cleaner body, remove the air cleaner cover, check the element.
Page 17: Starting The Engine
5. STARTING THE ENGINE Before starting the engine, disconnect any load from the AC receptacle. 1. Turn the engine switch to the ON position. ENGINE SWITCH 2. Move the choke lever to the START position. NOTE: Do not use the choke when the engine is warm or the ambient air temperature is high. START CHOKE LEVER START...
Page 18 ■ Do not allow the starter grip to snap back. Return it slowly by hand. STARTER GRIP 4. Move the choke lever to the RUN position after the engine warms up. CHOKE LEVER ■ If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before further troubleshooting.
Page 19: Generator Use
6. GENERATOR USE Be sure to ground the generator when loads are connected. ■ To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy cable between the generator's ground terminal and an external ground source.
Page 20 ■ The total wattage of all appliances connected must be considered. ■ Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. ■ Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could cause the damage to the generator or to electrical appliances in the house.
Page 21 AC application 1. Start the engine and make sure only the output indicator light (green) comes on. 2. Confirm that the appliance to be used is switched off, and plug in the appliance. OVERLOAD INDICATOR OUTPUT INDICATOR LIGHT LIGHT PLUG ■...
Page 22 Output and Overload Indicators The output indicator light (green) will remain on during normal operating conditions. If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 2.0 KW), or if there is a short in the connected appliance, the output indicator light (green) will go out, the overload indicator light (red) will illuminate and current to the connected appliance will be shut off.
Page 23 DC application The DC receptacle may be used for charging 12 volt automotive-type batteries only, the no load voltage is 15V-30V. ■ In DC operation, turn the Smart-throttle switch to the OFF position. 1. Connect the charging cables to the DC receptacle of the generator and then to the battery terminals.
Page 24 ■ The battery gives off explosive gases; keep spark, 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 shield. -If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
Page 25 Low oil alarm system The low oil alarm system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase falls below a safe limit, the low oil alarm system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position).
Page 26 Smart Throttle System When the smart throttle switch is placed in the on position, engine speed is kept at idle automatically when the electrical load is disconnected and returns to the proper speed to match the power of the electrical load when the load is reconnected. This position is recommended to minimize fuel consumption while in operation.
Page 27 High altitude operation At higher altitudes, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessively rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. Power output will decrease 3.5% for each 1000 feet (305 m) above sea level. High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor.
Page 28: Stopping The Engine

Page 29: Parallel Generator Operation
8. PARALLEL GENERATOR OPERATION Parallel operation features: Two separate IG2000p models can run in parallel to increase the total output to a max load of 4000W. Parallel operation is not possible with either one or both generators not being an IG2000p.
Page 30 Fig. 1 a. L5-30 Twistlock b. RV style receptacle receptacle Fig.2 2. First connect two “PARALLEL I/O ①” terminals on each control panels with the special parallel connection cable and tighten the plug (Fig. 3). 3. Second, securely plug the connector plugs④ of the parallel cable③ into the connector receptacles marked PARALLEL OUTPUT⑤...
Page 31 Fig. 5 Note: The required output of the electrical appliance cannot exceed the rated output of parallel generators. Shutting off the generators: 1. Turn off the power of electrical appliance, pull out the receptacle plug. 2. Turn off the two generators. 3.
Page 32 · Don't disconnect the PARALLEL I/O special connection cable and parallel output cable during parallel operation; connect the PARALLEL I/O special connection cable before starting the engine then connect the parallel output cable. You can disconnect the PARALLEL I/O special connection cable and parallel output cable only after stopping the generator.
Page 33: Maintenance
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.
Page 34 You can trust the replacement parts supplied by 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.

Refill with the recommended oil, and check the oil level. 5. Reinstall the left side maintenance cover and tighten the cover screw securely. Engine oil capacity: 0.42 qt.
Page 37 ■Never run the generator without the air cleaner, otherwise rapid engine wear may result. 1. Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover. 2. Remove the air cleaner cover and remove the fine and coarse elements. 3. Wash the elements in a non-flammable or high flash point solvent and dry it thoroughly. 4.
Page 38 3. SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE RECOMMENTED SPARK PLUG: UR5 To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits. 1. Remove the spark plug maintenance cover. Spark plug maintenance cover 2. Remove the spark plug cap. 3.
Page 39 5. Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it is to be reused. 6. Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. The gap should be 0.024-0.028in (0.6-0.7mm). Correct as necessary by carefully bending the side electrode.
Page 40: Transporting/Storage
10. TRANSPORTING and STORAGE To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the generator should be secured upright in its normal operating position with the engine switch OFF. When transporting the generator: ■ Do not overfill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck). ■...
Page 41 Exercising the Generator It is essential that the generator be exercised on a regular basis. This will prevent the accumulation of varnish or sludge in the fuel system and also remove moisture from the generator windings. Additionally the engine seals and moving components are lubricated. Exercise the generator by running it with at least a 1/2 load (1000W) for 60 minutes per month.
