PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing a Kipor generator.
This manual covers operation and maintenance of the IG2000i generators including
parallel versions.
All information in this publication is based on the latest product information available
at the time of approval for printing.
We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice and without
incurring any obligation.
No part of this publication may be reproduced without written permission.
This manual should be considered a permanent part of the generator and should
remain with it if it is resold.
Pay special attention to statements preceded by the following words:
Failure to properly follow these precautions can result in
property damage, serious injury or DEATH!
Read all labels and the owner's manual before operating this
generator.
Generators produce carbon monoxide, a poisonous, colorless,
odorless gas that can cause death or serious injury.
Indoor use of a generator can kill quickly. Generators should
be used outdoors only
Generators should be used outdoors only and away from
garages and open windows and protected from rain and snow.
Check for spilled fuel or leaks. Clean and/or repair before use.
Always stop engine before refueling. Wait 5 minutes before
restarting.
Keep any source of ignition away from fuel tank, at all times.
The portable generator is not meant to be used as a
permanent back-up power system for the home. A
permanently installed stationary generator is designed to be
safely used for this specific purpose.
Indicates a strong possibility of severe personal injury or death
if instructions are not followed.
Gives helpful information.
If a problem should arise, or if you have any questions about the generator, consult
an authorized dealer.
Our generators are 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 personal injury or equipment
damage.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently gave approval for gas stations
to start selling 15% ethanol-blended fuel (E15). E15 gas is now legal for use in cars,
pickups, and SUVs manufactured since 2001. However, E15 IS NOT approved for
off-road engines. This includes engines used in portable generators. Utilizing E15
in outdoor power equipment can cause permanent, irreversible damage, and void
warranties.
The following guidelines will help consumers properly fuel their outdoor power
equipment:
● Read and follow your owner’s manual. The manual will clearly explain what
fuels can be used to ensure a properly functioning product.
● Don’t put any fuel containing more than 10 percent ethanol (E10) into small gas
engine products.
● Check the gas pump to be sure that it is dispensing E10. Some pumps at local
gas stations may offer both E10 and E15, or have blender pumps that dispense
mid-level ethanol fuels for “flex-fuel” automobiles.
● Higher ethanol fuel (E15) may be less expensive than regular (E10) fuel, but
putting E15 into an E10 approved product could cause product failure and void its
warranty.
● Ethanol fuel will go through phase separation if not used immediately, (wicking
moisture from the air) so always keep your extra fuel in an airtight container and
try to avoid storing it in a place that is subject to temperature swings.
● Use a fuel stabilizer if the engine will sit for more than a week without use; this will
help to reduce the ethanol–water separation and potential gumming issues. It is
best to run the engine for at least 20 minutes, under a 50% or more load every 3-4
weeks.

4. PRE-OPERATION
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,
detergent, premium quality 4-stroke
4 stroke engine oil, certified to meet or exceed
U.S. automobile manufacturer's requirements for API Service Classification SG/SF.
Select the appropriate viscosity for the average temperature in your area. A 10W – 30
or 10W – 40 should be an acceptable oil for most climates.
DO NOT use synthetic oil or semi-synthetic
semi synthetic oil, use only petroleum based oil in your
generator engine. The reasons for this are many, but may include: not allowing the
engine to properly
roperly “break-in”
“break in” when new, excessive oil use, oil burning, fouled spark
plugs, etc. Engine issues that are caused by the use of synthetic oil may not be
covered under the warranty.

Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover. Remove the oil
filler cap, and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Check the oil level by inserting the
dipstick in the filler hole without screwing it in.
If the oil level is below the end of the dipstick, refill the recommended oil up to the top
of the oil filler neck.
■
Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.
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 before
operation.
You must screw down the dipstick completely to measure the oil level.

2. Check the fuel level.
Use automotive unleaded regular gasoline only with an octane level no higher than
87 and with no more than 10 % ethanol. A fuel preservative and stabilizer should be
added to any container of stored fuel.
If the fuel level is low, refill the fuel tank until the level reaches the specified mark.
Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline.
Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.
After refueling, tighten the fuel filler cap securely.
11
■
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
■
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Keep all smoking
materials, sparks, and any other source of combustion away from the generator
during refueling.
■
Do not overfill the fuel tank (there should be no fuel above the upper limit mark).
After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely.
■
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite, If
any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine.
■
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin or breathing of vapor. KEEP OUT
OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Gasoline containing alternate fuels
If you decide to use a gasoline containing ethanol, be sure its octane rating is no
lower than the specification. Do not use a blend that contains more than 10% ethanol.
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
■
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of
fuels that contain an improper alcohol blend are not covered under warranty.
■
Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, Determine if the fuel contains
ethanol and if it does, confirm the type and percentage of ethanol used. If you
notice any undesirable operating symptoms while using a gasoline that contains
ethanol, or one that you think contains ethanol, replace it by a gasoline that you
12
know has the proper blend.
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. Clean or replace the element if necessary. Picture of foam air
filter cleaning process needed here.
■
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result from
contaminants, such as dust and dirt, being drawn through the carburetor, into
the engine.

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.
■
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be made
by a qualified electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical
codes. Improper connections can allow electrical current from the generator to
back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility company
workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage. When utility
power is restored the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the
building's electrical system.
■
Do not connect the generator to an automatic transfer device. Severe damage to
the inverter module may result.
16
■
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 damage
to the generator or to electrical appliances in the house.
■
Do not modify or use the generator for other purpose than it is intended for. Also
observe the following when using the generator.
■
Do not connect an extension to exhaust pipe.
■
When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a rubber sheathed flexible
cable (IEC 245 or equivalent).
■
Only use an extension cord that meets these specifications: 12 gauge no more
than 100 feet.
■
Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as commercial
power supply lines.
■
The DC receptacle can be used while the AC power is in use. If you use both at
the same time, be sure not to exceed the total power for AC and DC.
■
Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for start-up. Motor
start up can be as much as 50% higher of the rated amperage found on the UL tag.
Kipor recommends that this value be calculated into the overall amperage
requirements of the customer.
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.
17
■
Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator light (red)
may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the
overload indicator light (red) may shorten the service life of the generator.
■
Be sure that all appliances are in good working order before connecting them to
the generator. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish,
or stops suddenly, turn off the generator engine switch immediately. Disconnect
the appliance and examine it for signs of malfunction.
3. In order to insure the optimum output and the maximum service life of the
generator, the generator should run at a 50% load for the first 20 hours.
Output and Overload Indicators
The output indicator light (green) will remain on during normal operating conditions.
If the generator is overloaded 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.
Stop the engine if the overload indicator light (red) comes on and investigate the
overload source
■
Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order
and that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator. Connect the
power cord of the appliance and start the engine.
18
■
When an electric motor is started, both the overload indicator light (red) and the
output indicator light (green) may go on simultaneously. This is normal if the
overload indicator light (red) goes off after about four (4) seconds. If the overload
indicator light (red) stays on, consult your generator dealer.
Overload Reset Switch
Should the generator overload, AC power will be cut off but the engine will stay
running. Correct the overload condition and then press the overload reset switch on
the front panel. AC power will be restored immediately.
DC Operation
The DC receptacle may be used for charging 12 volt automotive style batteries only,
the no load voltage is 15V-30V.
■ In DC operation, turn the Smart-throttle switch to the OFF position.
Connect the charging cables to the DC receptacle of the generator and then to the
battery terminals.
19
■
To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the battery, connect the
charging cable first to the generator then to the battery. Disconnect the cable
first at the battery.
■
Before connecting charging cables to a battery that is installed in a vehicle,
disconnect the vehicle’s ground battery cable. Reconnect the vehicle's ground
battery cable after the charging cables are removed. This procedure will prevent
the possibility of a short circuit and sparks if you make accidental contact
between a battery terminal and the vehicle's frame or body.
■
Do not attempt to start an automobile engine with the generator still connected
to the battery. The generator may be damaged.
■
Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive charging cord. Do not
reverse the charging cables, or serious damage to the generator and/or battery
may occur.
■
The battery gives off explosive gases; keep spark, flames and cigarettes away.
Provide adequate ventilation when charging.
20
■
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.
-If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and call a
physician.
■
Electrolyte is poisonous.
-If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk and follow with milk of
magnesia or vegetable oil and call a physician.
■
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
2. Start the engine
■ The DC receptacle may be used while the AC power is in use.
■ An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit fuse. The fuse must be replaced
before the DC receptacle is operative.
Replace the fuse with one of the same size and rating (5A).
Exceeding the current rating may lead to alternator damage.
21
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).
If the low oil alarm system shuts down the engine, the low oil alarm indicator light
(red) will come on when you operate the starter and the engine will not run. If this
occurs add engine oil.
Air Conditioning Operation
When running in parallel (see section 8) the combination of an IG2000i model can
start and run most 13,500 BTU Air conditioners. An IG2000i models will start and run
most 15000 BTU units. For best results, the SMART throttle switches should be in
the off position. Bring the generators to normal operating temperatures before
applying the air conditioning load. Always allow a 2 minute wait period when
manually cycling an air conditioner off and on. A longer wait period may be required
under unusually hot weather conditions. Additionally, all other loads should be turned
off until the air conditioner has started and is performing normally. It is also important
to follow the air conditioner manufacturer's instructions for starting and restarting for
proper operation.
Some air conditioner manufacturers offer a start capacitor or
rapid start kit as an extra cost option. The lack of a start capacitor can cause the air
conditioner to draw too high a starting current and overload the generators. Contact
your air conditioner dealer if you consistently have problems starting your air
conditioner with the generators in parallel.
22
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.
If running the generator at full output, turn the smart throttle switch to the “off”
position.
■
The Smart throttle system does not operate effectively if the electrical appliance
requires constant fluctuations in power.
■
When high electrical loads are connected simultaneously, turn the Smart throttle
switch to the OFF position to reduce voltage fluctuation or shutdown.
■
In DC operation, turn the Smart throttle switch to the OFF position.
OFF:
Smart throttle system does not operate. Engine speed varies with the load.
23
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 meters) above sea level.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel
jet in the carburetor. If you always operate the generator at altitudes higher than
5000 feet or 1500 meters above sea level, have your authorized dealer install a high
altitude main jet.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease approximately
3.5% for each 1000 feet or 305 meter increase in altitude. The affect of altitude on
the horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
■
Operation of the generator at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted for
may result in reduced performance, overheating, and serious engine damage
caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
■
Be sure to have any modification reversed at lower altitudes.
Temperature
High temperature adversely affects generator operation. Generator performance will
decrease 1% for each 10°F (5.5°C) increase in tempe rature above 85°F (29°C) The
normal operating range of this generator is -20° to 113° F (-29° to 45°C)
■
Do not operate the generator when the ambient temperature is below -20°F
(-29°C)
■
Do not operate the generator when the ambient temperature exceeds 113°F
(45°C)
24
7. STOPPING THE ENGINE

30
Shut off the generator:
1. Turn off the power switch of the electrical equipment; pull the plug out of the
parallel receptacle.
2. Shut off the two generators.
3. If two generators parallel are not used, be sure to remove the cable from
PARALLEL OUTPUT.
Kipor IG2000i parallel cable is only suitable for two KIPOR IG2000i generators
being run simultaneously.
Always use Kipor parallel output cable on IG2000i.
When using the parallel cable, safely insert the plug into the receptacle.
When running two generators in parallel, DO USE the receptacle of parallel
cable for power output, Do not use the receptacle on the control panel.
Before starting the generator, connect the parallel output cable, after the
generators stopped, disconnect the parallel output cable. Never connect or
disconnect the parallel output cable when the generators are running.
If the parallel output cable is still connected when one generator has stopped
running, stop the running generator and remove the parallel box.
If only one generator is operated, make sure the parallel output cable is
disconnected.
When the two generators are running separately, make sure the parallel output
cable is disconnected.
Before operating the generator, read the manual carefully.
31
9. MAINTENANCE
The purpose of the maintenance and adjustment schedule is to keep the generator
in the best operating condition.
Inspect or service as scheduled in the table below.
■
Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance. If the engine must be
run, make sure the area is well ventilated. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas.
Use genuine our parts or their equivalent. The use of replacement parts which
are not of equivalent quality may damage the generator.
When repairing or replacing the accessories of emission control system, make
sure to use the EPA standard accessories.
Emission control system
Emission source
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide (NOx), and hydrocarbons. It is
very important to control the emissions of NOX and hydrocarbons as they are a major
contributor to air pollution. 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, NOX, hydrocarbons, and evaporative fuel emissions.
Regulation
Your engine has been designed to meet current Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) clean air standards if so
equipped and designated. The regulations dictate that the manufacturer provide
operation and maintenance standards regarding the emission control system. Tune
up specifications are provided in the Specifications section and a description of the
emission control system may be found in an appendix to this manual, Adherence to
32
the following instructions will ensure your engine meets the emission control
standards.
Modification
Modification of the emission control system may lead to increased emissions.
Modification is defined as the following:
Disassemble or modify the function or parts of the intake, fuel or
exhaust system.
Modify or destroy the speed governing function of the generator.
Engine faults that may affect emission
Any of the following faults must be repaired immediately. Consult with your
authorized Kipor service center for diagnosis and repair:
Hard starting or shut down after starting
Unstable idle speed
Shut down or backfire after applying an electrical load
Backfire.
Black smoke and/or excessive fuel consumption
Replacement parts and accessories
The parts making up the emission control system applied to Kipor engine have been
specifically approved and certified by the regulatory agencies. 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. The manufacturers of replacement parts and accessories have the
responsibility to guarantee that their replacement products will not adversely affect
emission performance.
Maintenance
Maintain the generator according to the maintenance schedule in this section.
Service items more frequently when used in dusty areas, or under conditions of high
load, temperature, and humidity.
Air Quality Index (only for California certified models)
CARB requires that an air quality index label be attached to every certified engine
showing the engine emission information for the emission duration period. The label
is provided for the user to compare the emission performance of different engines.
33
The lower the air index, the better the engine emission performance. The description
of durability is helpful for the user to learn the engine emission duration period and
the service life of emission control system. Refer to the warranty section of this
owner’s manual for more information.
The air quality index label is designed to be permanently affixed to the generator and
removal should not be attempted.

1. CHANGING OIL
Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete draining.
■
Make sure to turn the engine switch and the fuel cap vent lever OFF before
draining.
1. Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover.
2. Remove the oil filler cap.
3. Drain dirty oil into a container thoroughly. See note below concerning proper
disposal.
4. 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. (0.4L)
■
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the
environment and local disposal regulations. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it
on the ground.
35
2. AIR CLEANER SERVICE IG2000i
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunctioning, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when
operating the generator in extremely dirty areas.
■Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning. They are flammable
and explosive under certain conditions.
■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 filter coarse elements.
3. Wash the filter elements in a non-flammable or high flash point solvent and dry it
thoroughly.
4. Soak the filter elements in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil.
5. Reinstall the coarse and fine air cleaner filter elements and the air cleaner cover.
Tighten the cover screw securely.
6. Reinstall the maintenance cover and tighten the cover screw securely.
36
3. SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free
of deposits.
1. Remove the spark plug maintenance cover.
2. Remove the spark plug cap.
3. Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
4. Use the wrench provided to remove the spark plug
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.
37
7. Install the spark plug carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
8. After a new spark plug has been seated by hand, it should be tightened 1/2 turn
with a wrench to compress its washer. If a used plug is being reinstalled, it should
only require 1/8 to 1/4 turn after being seated.
9. Reinstall the spark plug cap on the spark plug securely.
10. Reinstall the spark plug maintenance cover.
■The spark plug must be securely tightened. An
improperly tightened plug can become very hot and
possibly damage the generator.
■Never use a spark plug with an improper heat range.
38
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 placed in the OFF position.
When transporting the generator:
■
If you must transport the generator in a vehicle, drain all fuel from the generator.
■
Do not operate the generator while it is on or in a vehicle. Take the generator out
of the vehicle and use it in a well ventilated area.
■
Avoid a storage area exposed to direct sunlight when putting the generator on a
vehicle. If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle for many hours, high
temperature inside the vehicle could cause residual fuel to vaporize resulting in
a possible explosion.
■
Do not drive on a rough road for an extended period with the generator on
board.
Before storing the unit for an extended period:
1. Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
2. Drain the fuel.
■
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
■
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area.
39
Periodic running of the Generator
It is essential that the generator be periodically run 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. Periodically running the generator at least at 1/2 the load
for 60 minutes each month. Gasoline fuel treatments to prevent contamination of
your fuel supply are available from your dealer. Fuel varnishing necessitating
replacement of the carburetor is not a warrantable failure.
Storage
a.
Drain all gasoline from the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container.
b.
Turn the engine switch ON, and loosen the carburetor drain screw and drain the
gasoline from the carburetor into a suitable container. Dispose of properly.
c.
With the drain screw loosened remove the spark plug cap and pull the starter
grip 3 to 4 times to drain the gasoline from the fuel pump.
d.
Turn the engine switch to the OFF position, and tighten the drain screw securely.
e.
Reinstall the spark plug cap on the spark plug securely.
f.
Change the engine oil.
g.
Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the
cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil and then
reinstall the spark plug.
5.
Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston is
coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust valves are
closed. Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it from internal
corrosion.
