Maintenance - King Canada KCG-2001i Instruction Manual

Engine Oil Replacement
Engine oil should be replaced after the first 20 hours of operation or after the first month of
use, it should be replaced every 50 hours or 6 months after. To replace engine oil;
1) Open rear access panel, then loosen and remove the oil gauge dipstick (A) Fig.8.
2) Tilt the generator forward and drain the oil from the engine.
Recommended Engine Oil
It is recommended to use SAE 10W30 4-stroke gasoline engine oil. For cold weather (below
-15ºC) use SAE 5W30.
3) Using the supplied oil funnel, pour 0.35L (350ml) of clean engine oil through the oil gauge
dipstick opening, fill then check oil level until the oil level reaches 3/4 up the dipstick or
until it reaches the bottom lip of the dipstick hole.
Inspecting, Replacing or Cleaning Spark Plug (NGK BPR6HS or equivalent)
The spark plug should be checked every 50 hours of operation or every 6 months. To re-
place or clean spark plug;
1) Open the top spark plug access cover.
2) Dismantle the spark plug cap (A) Fig.9 by pulling it off the spark plug. Using the supplied
spark plug wrench, undo the spark plug (B) by turning it counterclockwise.
3) Check to see if there is carbon sediment build-up, if so just remove it. If the carbon
sediment is excessive, replace the spark plug.
4) Measure the electrodes clearance. See Fig.10. The spark plug electrode clearance
should be between 0.7-0.8mm. If the clearance exceeds 0.8mm, replace the spark plug
with an NGK BPR6HS or equivalent.
5) Reinstall spark plug in the reverse order.
Muffler Spark Arrester Screen Maintenance
An uncleaned muffler spark arrester screen will produce louder noise levels and it will affect
the engine running. If using this generator in dusty and dirty conditions, the muffler spark
arrester screen (A) Fig.11 must be cleaned to prevent clogging of the exhaust fumes. To
clean muffler spark arrester screen;
1) Make sure the generator is not running and has cooled down.
2) Undo the 6 pan head screws (B) Fig.11 and remove the muffler cover (C).
3) Undo the pan head screw (D) which secures the muffler spark arrester screen (A) to the
muffler (E) and remove the spark arrester screen.
4) Inspect the spark arrester screen, remove it from the holder and clean with a metalic
brush if it is necessary. If it is too difficult to clean, replace it.
