2. SERVICE INFORMATION 2.1 The importance of proper servicing Proper servicing is essential to the safety of the operator and the reliability of the generator. Any error or oversight made by the technician while servicing can easily result in faulty operation and/or damage to the equipment or injury to the operator.
2.3 Service rules • Use genuine KIPOR or KIPOR-recommended parts and lubricants or their equivalents. Parts that do not meet Kipor’s design specifications may damage the engine. • Use the special tools designed for the product. • Always install new gaskets, O-rings, etc. when reassembling components.
Page 13
• If a wire harness must contact the end of the bolts or screws or sharp edges and corners, protect the contact part of the harness with a loom or by winding with electrical insulating tape. If the wire harness has a grommet, set the grommet securely. •...

Appendix A- Capacitor Beginning with models built in December 2007 and ending in July, 2008, a capacitor was added to reduce electro-mechanical interference and eliminate problems with some digital clocks not displaying the time properly. This was an interim solution and all later models had an inverter module modification to eliminate the capacitor.
Page 72
Terminals Do not touch the exposed terminals nor attempt to take any measurements before discharging the capacitor. Use the capacitance checking mode of a multimeter. Replace the capacitor if any reading is outside the standard value of 10uF±5%.
Appendix B- CARB Certified Units The fuel tank, fuel cap, indicator, and hoses are specially designed and constructed to prevent fuel vapors from permeating and be released into the atmosphere. The emission control system has the following components: 油管Ⅲ Fuel Hose Fuel Tank Certification No.
2011 is not permitted. There are two approved Kipor parallel kits. One has a maximum capacity of 30 amps and has a single 30 amp receptacle. The other has a capacity of 50 amps and has one single 20 amp and one single 30 amp receptacle.
