BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION
EXHAUST FUMES ARE DANGEROUS
•Never operate the engine in a closed area or it may cause uncon-
sciensness and death within a short time. Operate in a well
ventilated area.
FUEL IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS
•Always turn off the engine when refueling.
•Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
•When operating or transporting engine, be sure to keep it upright. If
it tilts, fuel may leak from the carburetor or fuel tank.
ENGINE AND MUFFLER MAY BE HOT
•Place the engine in an appropriate location, away from children and
pedestrians.
•Avoid placing any flammable materials near the exhaust outlet
during operation.
•Keep a 4ft. clearance from buildings or other equipment around the
engine to prevent overheating.
WARNING! The engine muffler will be very hot after use, avoid
touching the engine or muffler while they are still hot.
ELECTRIC SHOCK PREVENTION
•Never operate in rain or snow.
•Never touch the engine with wet hands or electric shock could occur.
FUEL
Make sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INFORMATION
TAMPERING WITH FACTORY SET ENGINE SPEED SETTINGS.
Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation.
Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in over-
heating and could cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed-up” the
engine to obtain more performance.
ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE FUEL TANK WHILE THE ENGINE IS
RUNNING.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors can become ignited by coming in con-
tact with hot components such as the muffler, engine exhaust gases,
or from an electrical spark.
Turn engine offand allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank.
Equip area of operation with a fire extinguisher certified to handle
gasoline or fuel fires.
SPARKS, FIRE, HOT OBJECTS
Cigarettes, sparks, fires, or other hot objects can cause gasoline or
gasoline vapors to ignite.
Add fuel to tank in well ventilated area. Make sure there are no
sources of ignition near the engine.
INADEQUATE VENTILATION
Materials placed against or near the engine or operating in areas
where the temperature exceeds 40° C ambient (such as storage
rooms or garages) can interfere with its proper ventilation features
causing overheating and possible ignition of the materials or build-
ings.
Operate engine in a clean, dry, well ventilated area a minimum of four
feet from any building, object or wall. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT
INDOORS OR IN ANY CONFINED AREA.
RISK OF BREATHING - INHALATION HAZARD
Operate engine in clean, dry, well ventilated area. Never operate unit
in enclosed areas such as garages, basements, storage, sheds, or in
any location occupied by humans or animals.
Keep children, pets and others away from area of operating unit.
Breathing exhaust fumes will cause serious injury or death. Gasoline
engines produce toxic carbon monoxide exhaust fumes.

The following information applies to both engines.
1. Fuel cap. Make sure the fuel cap is always screwed on tightly.
2. Fuel tank. Unleaded gasoline only!
3. Low oil sensor. This engine detects and shuts off automatically
when the oil level is too low. In case of an auto shut-off, check oil
level with dipstick and fill to recommended level with SAE 10W30
engine oil.
4. Oil gauge dipstick. Check the oil level using this oil gauge dipstick.
5. Oil drain bolt.
6. Power ON/OFF switch. This switch must be switched to “ON”
before pulling recoil starter.
7. Recoil starter.Starts the engine.
8. Fuel Shut-off Valve. Regulates the flow of fuel to the engine. The
fuel shut-offvalve must be fully opened before starting the engine.

WARNING! To prevent permanent damage to your engine, you MUST check oil level, fuel level and air cleaner filter before starting.
MOUNTING
Before operating your engine, mount it on a flat, level surface which can withstand the
weight and vibrations of the engine. To do this, bolt the engine using the 4 mounting holes
in the base (hardware not included). If mounted to a permanent indoor location, to
prevent carbone monoxide poisoning, a proper exhaust ventilation system MUST be
installed.
PRE-START CHECK
OIL LEVEL
WARNING! This engine has been shipped from the factory without oil or very little
oil in the crankcase. Operating your engine without the correct amount of oil can
damage it.
Oil crankcase capacity: 0.6 litres (KCG-65), 1.1 litres (KCG-130).
Always check the oil level before starting the engine, make sure the engine is on
alevel surface. To check oil level;
1) Turn the oil gauge dipstick (A) Fig.1 counterclock-
wise, remove it and clean it with a clean cloth.
2) Fully reinsert the oil gauge dipstick and pull it out to
check the oil level.
3) If the oil level is halfway up the dipstick or below, refill
with SAE 10W30 oil through the dipstick hole until the
oil level reaches 3/4 up the dipstick or until it reaches
the bottom lip of the dipstick hole as shown in
illustration.
4) Reposition the oil gauge dipstick and tighten it by turning clockwise.
FUEL LEVEL
WARNING! Make sure there is enough fuel in the fuel tank before operating.
1) If it is necessary to add fuel, first make sure the engine switch is OFF, then open the
fuel cap (A) Fig.2 by turning it counterclockwise.
2) Make sure the fuel filter cup (B) is positioned inside the tank opening before refueling.
3) The fuel filter cup (B) comes with a max. fuel level (C), do not fill the fuel tank past the
max. fuel level. When refueling, keep in mind all safety precautions and make sure to
add enough fuel based on usage. Use clean unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87
octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Fuel tank capacity: 3,6 litres (KCG-65), 6,5 litres
(KCG-130).
AIR CLEANER FILTERS
The air cleaner filters should be checked before every start-up and after prolonged
storage, the following steps should be done when checking air cleaner filters;
1) Remove the wing nut (B) Fig.3, lift to remove the air cleaner cover (A) as shown.
2) Remove the wing nut and washer (D) Fig.3, lift and remove air filters (C) Fig.3 from its
base. Remove the foam filter (A) Fig.4 from the paper filter (B), wash foam filter in
kerosene, squeeze kerosene out, soak foam filter in engine oil and squeeze engine oil
out.
3) In a well ventilated area, use pressurized air to blow dust out of the paper filter (B)
from the side opposite the filter’s normal air flow (clean side).
4) Replace filters and replace the air cleaner filter cover.Secure all parts with wing nuts.
