Select the most applicable oil
It is very important to select the applicable oil in order to keep up the
performance and life of the generator set. If inferior oil is used, or if your oil is
not replaced periodically, the risk of piston seizure, piston ring sticking and
accelerated wear of the cylinder liner, bearing and other moving components
will increase significantly. So the generator set life will be shortened. KIPOR
recommends CC/CD oil classified by API. Choose the applicable viscosity oil
according to the local ambient temperature.
3.3 Check the air cleaner
1.Screw off the wing nut, remove the air cleaner
cover and take out the element.
CAUTION:
Do not wash the element with detergent.
Replace the element when its output decrease
or a bad exhaust color is noticed.
Never run the generator set without the elem-
ent, otherwise the rapid engine wear will result.
2. Reattach the air clearer cover and screw on the
wing nut.

WARNING
1. Drain out the fuel from the fuel tank.
2. Drain out the fuel from the fuel tank.
Screw off the small screw of the fuel cock and pull out the filter from the filler
port.
3. Wash the filter thoroughly with diesel fuel.
Loosen the fastening nut, bottom cover and delivery discs for cleaning the
deposit carbon.
8.5 Tighten cylinder head bolt
Tightening the cylinder head bolt requires a special tool. Do not try yourself.
Contact with KIPOR agent.
8.6 Check the injection nozzle and fuel injection pump
1. Adjust the clearance of the intake/exhaust valves.
2. Grind the intake/exhaust valves.
3. Replace the piston ring
Do not perform the injection nozzle test near an open fire or any other kind of
fire. The fuel spray may ignite. Do not expose bare skin to the fuel spray. The
fuel may penetrate the skin and cause injury to the body. Always keep your
body away from the nozzle.
8.7 Check and refill the battery electrolyte and charge the battery
The diesel uses a 12V battery. Battery electrolyte will be lost through continuous
charging and discharging.
Before starting, check for physical damage to the battery and also the electrolyte
levels, and refill the distilled water till to the upper lever if necessary. When actual
damage is discovered, replace the battery.
Check the battery electrolyte monthly.
WARNING
The battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid. Protect your eyes, skin and
clothing. In case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and get prompt medical
attention, especially if your eyes are affected.
The battery exhaust hydrogen gas, which can be highly explosive. Do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks near the battery, especially during charging.
