Fuel Safety

 DANGER

PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE

AND EXPLOSIVE.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

Propane/LPG (liquiﬁed petroleum gas) and LPG Vapors:

– LPG is a hydrocarbon gas that exists in a liquiﬁed form

and it’s vapors are highly ﬂammable and explosive.

– LPG and it’s vapors are under pressure and can cause a

ﬁre or explosion if ignited.

– LPG vapors are heavier than air and will settle in low

places while dissipating.

– LPG itself is odorless and tasteless. For safety, a

chemical is added to give it an odor to help detect leaks

quickly.

– If a leak is detected, IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the gas

supply.

– In the event of an LPG ﬁre and only when safe to do so,

ﬁrst close the regulator valve OFF and then use a dry

powder extinguisher to put out the ﬁre. This is because if

a ﬁre is extinguished before the regulator valve is closed

OFF, then an explosion hazard condition could be created.

– Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.

– LPG is a skin irritant and can cause severe cold burns

similar to frostbite.

– Always wear proper protective gloves when connecting to

and disconnecting from a propane bottle.

– Always keep LPG away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot

lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

 DANGER

NG (natural gas) and NG Vapors:

– NG vapors are highly ﬂammable and explosive.

– NG vapors can cause a ﬁre or explosion if ignited.

– NG itself is odorless and tasteless. For safety, a chemical

is added to give it an odor to help detect leaks quickly.

– NG is lighter than air and will collect in higher areas.

– If a leak is detected, IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the gas

supply.

This failure could be the result of an excessive load or high ambient

temperatures. Should this fault occur do the following:

1. Open the enclosure doors to increase air ﬂow through the HSB.

2. Check oil level and add oil if required.

3. Inspect the interior and exterior of the enclosure for debris,

leaves, etc., and remove them to increase air ﬂow around and

inside the unit.

4. Once the engine temperature falls into the normal operating

range, generally 30 minutes, follow the FAULT CODE RESET

instructions to clear the fault after service. Then, put the ﬂeX

This failure could also be the result of insufﬁcient fuel supply. Check the in-line fuel shut off valves and make

sure they are in the ON/ OPEN position. Position them in the correct position, follow the FAULT CODE RESET

instructions to clear the fault after service.

If they are in the correct position and the HSB shows a fault light again, it’s recommended to perform a

Manometer pressure check by an Authorized Champion Dealer or installer. This will make sure the correct

amount of fuel is being delivered to the HSB when it starts.

Insufﬁcient battery output could result in poor cranking cycles, not permitting the engine starter to reach

optimum starting RPM to start the engine. This can be veriﬁed by checking the Battery Charger icon, NO

CHARGE. If this occurs, the individual battery voltages must be checked to determine if the batteries are properly

charged or if they have failed. It is extremely important to follow all the cautions and warnings per the battery

manufacturer concerning installation, service, maintenance and replacement procedures.

OPERATION

Before operating the generator, review SAFETY section

earlier in the operator’s manual.

High Altitude

The density of air at high altitudes is lower than at sea level.

Power derates at an elevation over sea level and ambient

temperatures over 77 °F (25 °C) are:

General power derate is 1% for every 10 °F above 77 °F. (1% for

every 5.6 °C above 25 °C).

Elevation derate is 3.5% for every 1,000 feet (304.8 m) above sea

level.

No jet change is required for LPG and NG at high elevations. The

zero-pressure regulator is self-compensating since it is balanced

to atmospheric pressure.

Surge Protection

 CAUTION

Voltage ﬂuctuation may impair the proper functioning of

sensitive electronic equipment.

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.

Customer Familiarization Summary

It’s important to educate the home owner on proper maintenance,

operation and service call procedures. A properly educated home

owner can reduce unnecessary service trips and phone calls.

Ensure that the installation of the HSB and ATS has been correctly

performed as outlined by the manufacturer and that it meets all

applicable codes.

Test and conﬁrm proper operation of the HSB and ATS system as

outlined in the appropriate installation and operator’s manuals.

Educate the home owner on the location and operation of;

• Full ﬂow shutoff valve

• Automatic operation of the HSB system

• Battery Charger and LED indicators

• Exterior warning LED on the backside of the HSB

• ATS operation

• Exercise scheduled time of operation

• Scheduled Maintenance

• Fill out and provide the customer a copy of the HSB,

ATS model & serial number reference. This information

is extremely important for part purchases and service

information, these numbers are speciﬁc to each HSB

and ATS.

• Fill out and provide the customer a copy of the ATS

back-up circuits.

• Fill out the Circuit Label inside the ATS.

It’s always a good business practice to place business cards in the

Operator’s and Installation manuals and place dealer stickers on

the HSB and ATS for the customer’s reference.

CHAMPION POWER EQUIPMENT, INC. (CPE)

AND THE UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (U.S. EPA)

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with U.S. EPA emissions regulations.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:

The US EPA and CPE are pleased to explain the Federal Emission Control Systems Warranty on your 2025 small off-road engine and engine

powered equipment. 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. CPE warrants the emission control system on your small off-road engine and equipment for the period of time

listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modiﬁcation, or improper maintenance of your equipment.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter and

fuel lines. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exits, CPE

will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This emission control system is warranted for two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If, during the warranty period, an emission

related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part will be repaired or replaced by CPE.

OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the small off-road engine 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, but CPE cannot deny warranty

solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if your small, off-road engine

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 service outlet or alternate service outlet as described

in (3)(f.) below, CPE dealer or CPE, Las Vegas, NV. as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable

amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

The following are speciﬁc provisions relative to your Emission Control System (ECS) Warranty Coverage.

1. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1997 and later model year small off-road 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 the ECS

when installed is:

2a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to U.S. EPA emissions standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts.

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 EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS:

3a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Operator’s 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, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as speciﬁed in the Operator’s 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, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Operator’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 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, 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 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 emission-related parts sufﬁcient to meet the

expected demand for such emission-related parts.

3i. Any CPE Authorized and approved 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.
