ENGLISH 100231
Gasoline and Gasoline Vapors (Gas):
– GAS IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
– Gas can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– Gas is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
– Gas is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
– Gas has a distinctive odor, this will help detect
potential leaks quickly.
– In any gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be
turned OFF. This is because if a fire is extinguished
and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an
explosion hazard could be created.
– Gas expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gas tank to full capacity, as gas needs
room to expand if temperatures rise.
Propane/Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG):
– LPG IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
– Flammable gas under pressure can cause a fire or
explosion if ignited.
– LPG is heavier than air and can settle in low places
while dissipating.
– LPG has a distinctive odor added to help detect
potential leaks quickly.
– In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be
extinguished unless by doing so the fuel supply
valve can be turned OFF. This is because if a fire is
extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF,
then an explosion hazard could be created.
– When exchanging LPG cylinders, be sure the cylinder
valve is of the same type.
– Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
– LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact with it.
Keep any and all LPG away from skin at all times.

ASSEMBLY
Your generator requires some assembly. This unit ships
from our factory without oil. It must be properly serviced
with fuel and oil before operation.
If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your
generator, call our help line at 1-877-338-0999. Please
have your serial number and model number available.
Remove the Generator from the Shipping Carton
1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.
2. Remove everything from the carton except the
generator.
3. Carefully cut each corner of the box from top to
bottom. Fold each side flat on the ground to provide a
surface area to install the wheel kit and support leg.
Install the Wheel Kit
The wheel kit is not intended for over-the-road use.
CAUTION
1. Before adding fuel and oil, tip the generator on it’s side.
2. Slide the wheel pin roll through the wheel from
the outside.

The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly filled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage to the generator as
a result of failure to follow these instructions will
void your warranty.
CAUTION
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball
bearing that requires no additional lubrication for
the life of the bearing.
NOTE
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
NOTE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial
break-in period. Using synthetic oil does not
increase the recommended oil change interval.
Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting in cold
ambient <5ºC (41ºF)
NOTE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be
the break-in period for the unit. During the break
in period stay at or below 50% of the running
watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the
load will also cause engine speed to vary and help
seat piston rings. After the 5 hour break-in period,
change the oil.
NOTE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show
oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw
in the dipstick while checking.
NOTE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine
performance. Change the type of engine oil used
based on weather conditions to suit the engine
needs.
NOTE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
NOTE

100231 ENGLISH
ASSEMBLY
Add Fuel (Gas) Cont’d.
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol
blend fuels. When using blended fuels there are
some issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water
than gasoline alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor.
– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised
fuel can be drawn into the carburetor and cause
damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer
that are formulated to work with ethanol blend
fuels.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using
improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/
or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacture’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply,
run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank
when the equipment is not in use for more than 30
days.
NOTE
Add Fuel (Gas)
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a
minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content
of less than 10% by volume.
2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.
3. Clean the area around the fuel cap.
4. Remove the fuel cap.
5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Fuel can expand after filling. A minimum of
¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required
for fuel expansion, more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is
recommended. Fuel can be forced out of the tank as
a result of expansion if it is overfilled, and can affect
the stable running condition of the product. When
filling the tank, it is recommended to leave enough
space for the fuel to expand.

ASSEMBLY
Do not allow children to tamper or play with the
cylinder or hose connections.
CAUTION
Use approved LPG cylinders equipped with an
OPD (overfilling prevention device) valve. Always
keep the cylinder in a vertical position with the
valve on top and installed at ground level on a flat
surface Cylinders must not be installed near any
heat source and should not be exposed to sun, rain,
and dust. When transporting and storing, turn off
the cylinder valve and fuel valve, and disconnect
the cylinder. Plug the outlet, usually by a plastic
protective cap, if one is available. Keep cylinders
away from heat and ventilated when in a vehicle.
CAUTION
Connecting a LPG Cylinder Cont’d.
– Use only standard 20 or 30 pound capacity LP
tanks with Type 1, right hand Acme threads.
– Verify the requalification date on the tank has
not expired.
– All new cylinders must be purged of air and
moisture prior to filling. Used cylinders that have
not been plugged or kept closed must also be
purged.
– The purging process should be done by a LPG
supplier. (Cylinders from an exchange supplier
should have been purged and filled properly
already).
– Always position the cylinder so the connection
between the valve and the gas inlet won’t cause
sharp bends or kinks in the hose.
NOTE
Connecting a LPG Cylinder
1. Make sure the fuel valve on the generator is in the off
position.
2. Attach the LPG hose (included) to the LPG hose
connector on the side of the generator and tighten
with a 19 mm or adjustable wrench.
Important: DO NOT use tape or any other type of
sealant to seal LPG hose connection.
3. Remove the safety plug or cap from the cylinder
valve.
4. Attach the other end of the hose to the LPG
connector on the cylinder and hand tighten.
5. Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings
with a solution of soap and water. Bubbles which
appear or bubbles which grow indicate that a leak
exists. If a leak exists at a fitting then turn off the
gas valve at the tank and tighten the fitting. Turn the
gas back on and recheck the fitting with the soap
and water solution. If the leak continues or if the leak
is not at a fitting then do not use the generator and
contact customer service.
If there is a strong smell of gas: Close off the gas
supply at the cylinder. Use soapy water, which will
produce a large bubble at the point of any leak, to
check the hose, and connections on the cylinder valve
and the generator. Do not smoke or light a cigarette,
or check for leaks using a match, open flame source
or lighter. Contact a qualified technician to inspect
and repair the LPG system if a leak is found, before
using the generator.
WARNING
Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an
appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.
A ground terminal has been provided on the lower frame
crossmember below the alternator. For remote grounding,
connect of a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG minimum)
copper wire between the generator ground terminal and a
copper rod driven into the ground. We strongly recommend
that you consult with a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with local electrical codes.
Failure to properly ground the generator can result
in electric shock.

OPERATION
Generator Location
NEVER operate the generator inside any building,
including garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds,
enclosure or compartment, including the generator
compartment of a recreational vehicle. Please consult
your local authority. In some areas, generators must
be registered with the local utility. Generators used at
construction sites may be subject to additional rules and
regulations. Generators should be on a flat, level surface
at all times. (Even while not in operation) Generators
must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from all
combustible material. In addition to clearance from
all combustible material, generators must also have
at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to
allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.
Generators should never be started or operated in the
back of a SUV, camper, trailer, in the bed of a truck
(regular, flat or otherwise), under staircases/stairwells,
next to walls or buildings, or in any other location that
will not allow for adequate cooling of the generator
and/or the muffler. DO NOT contain generators during
operation. Allow generators to properly cool before
transport or storage.
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT
place the generator near vents or intakes where exhaust
fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined
spaces. Carefully consider wind and air currents when
positioning generator.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void
manufacturer’s warranty.
Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow,
or wet weather.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet
conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or
sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could
result in electrocution.
WARNING
WARNING
During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes
produced will become hot. If adequate cooling and
breathing space are not supplied, or if the generator
is blocked or contained, temperatures can become
extremely heated and may lead to fire.
Surge Protection
Electronic devices, including computers and many
programmable appliances use components that are
designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and
may be affected by momentary voltage fluctuations.
While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, you
can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
1. Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors
on the outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet
styles. They’re designed to protect against virtually
all short-duration voltage fluctuations.
Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper
functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.
CAUTION
Grounding
The generator system ground is located on the lower frame
crossmember below the alternator. The system ground is
connected to the AC neutral wire.

OPERATION
The fuel selector switch cover is specifically
designed not to slide to either side while a specific
fuel has been selected and the valve is in the “ON”
position. Only when the fuel valves are in the “OFF”
position can the cover slide side to side.
NOTE
The fuel selector is locked into place once a
“CLICK” sound is made. Only then can a fuel valve
be turned to the vertical position.
NOTE
Fuel Selector Switch
The fuel selector switch on the front panel of the
generator is designed specifically to choose between the
fuel source desired, Gas or Propane (LPG).
To select a fuel source simply slide the switch cover to
either the right or left, and this will uncover the fuel
valve of the fuel selected.
The propane fuel valve (A) is to the left of the switch
cover.
The gasoline fuel valve (B) is to the right of the switch
cover.

NOTE
Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting
2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120/240 Volt AC
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.
Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company’s power lines or to another power source
may be against the law. In addition this action,
if done incorrectly, could damage your generator
and appliances and could cause serious injury or
even death to you or a utility worker who may be
working on nearby power lines. If you plan to run a
portable electric generator during an outage, please
notify your electric utility company immediately
and remember to plug your appliances directly
into the generator. Do not plug the generator into
any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could
create a connection to the utility company power
lines. You are responsible for ensuring that your
generator’s electricity does not feed back into the
electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building
electrical system, consult your local utility company
or a qualified electrician. Connections must isolate
generator power from utility power and must comply
with all applicable laws and codes.
WARNING

ENGLISH 100231
OPERATION
Do Not Overload Generator
Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and
starting watts necessary for your purposes.
1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at
the same time.
2. Total the running watts of these items. This is
the amount of power you need to keep your items
running.
3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices
identified in step 1. Add this number to the number
calculated in step 2. Surge wattage is the extra
burst of power needed to start some electric driven
equipment. Following the steps listed under “Power
Management” will guarantee that only one device will
be starting at a time.
Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and
amperage to watts:
Volts x Amps = Watts
To prolong the life of your generator and attached
devices, follow these steps to add electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load attached
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to stabilize.
3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach
the item with the largest load first.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding
loads to the generator.
NOTE
NOTE
Observing frost on LPG containers and regulators
is common during operation and normally is not
an indication of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and
travels from the tank to the generator engine it
expands. The amount of frost that forms can be
affected by the size of the container, the amount of
fuel being used, the humidity of the air and other
operating conditions. In unusual situations this
frost may eventually restrict the flow of gas to the
generator resulting in deteriorating performance.
For example, if the tank temperature is reduced
to a very low level then the rate at which the LPG
vaporizes is also reduced and may not provide
sufficient fuel flow to the engine. This is not an
indication of a problem with the generator but
only a problem with the flow of gas from the LPG
container. If generator performance seems to be
deteriorating at the same time that ice formation is
observed on tank valve, hose or regulator then some
actions may be taken to eliminate this symptom.
In these rare situations it can be helpful to reduce
or eliminate the cold fuel system effects by doing
one of the following:
– Exchanging fuel tanks to allow the first tank to
warm up, repeating as necessary
– Placing the LPG container at the end of the
generator near the handle, where engine fan air
flows out from the generator. This air is slightly
heated by flowing over the engine. The container
should not be placed in the path of the muffler
outlet.
– The container can be temporarily warmed by
pouring warm water over the top of the tank.

100231 ENGLISH
Operation using the alternative main jet at
elevations lower than the recommended minimum
altitude can damage the engine. For operation at
lower elevations, the standard main jet must be
used. Operating the engine with the wrong engine
configuration at a given altitude may increase
its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and
performance.
WARNING
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea
level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-
fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output
will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 ft.
of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and
cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At high
altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result
due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
Other high altitude issues can include hard starting,
increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural
power loss, Champion Power Equipment can provide a
high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main
jet and installation instructions can be obtained by
contacting Customer Support. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the
Champion Power Equipment internet site.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude
for the application of the high altitude carburetor main
jet is listed in the table below.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet
it is necessary to identify the carburetor model. For
this purpose, a code is stamped on the side of the
carburetor. Select the correct main jet part number
corresponding to the carburetor code found on your
particular carburetor.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads. Never start
or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged
in or turned on.
2. Let the generator run at no-load for several minutes
to stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and
generator.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position if operating
by gas.
4. Turn the LPG cylinder knob to the “CLOSE” or off
position if operating by LPG.
5. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped
the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
6. Press the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the
engine switch are in the “OFF” position when the engine
is not in use.
When turning off the generator after LPG operation, make
sure the LPG cylinder knob is in the fully closed position.

*Except as otherwise stipulated in any of the following enclosed Emission Control System Warranties (when applicable) for the Emission Control System: U.S. Environment Protection Agency
(EPA) and/or California Air Resources Board (CARB). Whichever warranty applies for the longer period, either this 3 year limited warranty or the applicable Emission Control System Warranty,
shall supersede the other.
Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with both the U.S. EPA and state of California Air Resources Board
(CARB) Exhaust and Evaporative emissions regulations.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The US EPA, California Air Resources Board, and CPE are pleased to explain the Federal and California Exhaust and Evaporative Emission
Control Systems Warranty on your 2019 small off-road engine (SORE) and engine powered equipment. In California, new equipment that
use small off-road engines (SORE) must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti smog standards. In the other
states, new engines and equipment must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet U.S. EPA regulations for small off-
road engines (SORE). CPE must warrant the exhaust and evaporative emission control system on your small off-road engine (SORE) for
the period listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your equipment
leading to the failure of the exhaust and evaporative emission control systems.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such as: carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel lines, (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors),
fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. Also included for your exhaust emission control
system may be fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter and other exhaust emission related assemblies. Where a
warrantable condition exits, CPE will repair your small off-road engine (SORE) at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This exhaust and evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. If any exhaust and evaporative, emission related part on
your engine or equipment is defective in, the part will be repaired or replaced by CPE.
OWNER WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine (SORE) owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Owner’s
Manual. CPE recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine (SORE), but CPE cannot
deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts.
As the small off-road engine (SORE) owner, you should be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if your small, off-road engine
(SORE) or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized CPE distribution center, service center or alternative service
outlet as described in (3)(f.) below or CPE dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, Ca. as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs shall be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

THE UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AGENCY (U.S. EPA)
AND THE CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD (CARB) EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
The following are specific provisions relative to your Exhaust and Evaporative Emission Control System (ECS) Warranty
Coverage.
1. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year California small off-road engines (SORE) (for other states,
1997 and later model year engines). The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is delivered to its
original, end-use purchaser, and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
2. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE
CPE warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent purchaser that each of its
small off-road engines (SORE) is:
2a. Designed, built and equipped to conform to U.S. EPA emissions standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts and
all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board, and
2b. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects
to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification for a period of two years.
3. THE WARRANTY ON EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS:
3a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for
the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according
to Subsection “d” below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the
ECS Warranty Period.
3b. Any warranted, exhaust and evaporative emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the
Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or
replace as necessary”, shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall
be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
3c. Any warranted, exhaust and evaporative emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part
fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below.
Any such exhaust and evaporative emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty, shall be warranted for the
remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
3d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, exhaust and evaporative emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be
performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
3e. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a part covered by the ECS Warranty is in
fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
3f. CPE shall pay for covered exhaust and evaporative emissions warranty repairs at non-authorized service outlets under the
following circumstances:
i. The service is required in a population center with a population over 100,000 according to U.S. Census 2000 without a CPE
Authorized Service Outlet AND
ii. The service is required more than 100 miles from a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. The 100 mile limitation does not apply in the
following states: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and
Wyoming.
3g. CPE shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused by a failure
under warranty of an emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
3h. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted exhaust and evaporative emission-related parts
sufficient to meet the expected demand for such exhaust and evaporative emission-related parts.
3i. Any CPE Authorized and approved exhaust and evaporative emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance
of any ECS Warranty maintenance or repair and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce CPE’s
warranty obligation.
3j. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a CPE engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and
shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. CPE shall not be liable hereunder for failures of any warranted
parts of a CPE engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or modified part.
