fuel Safety
DANGER
GaSolinE anD GaSolinE VaPorS arE hiGhlY
FlammaBlE anD EXPloSiVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors:
– Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and explosive.
– Gasoline vapors can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– Gasoline is a liquid fuel and the resulting gasoline vapors can
ignite and cause a fire or explosion.
– Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
– Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will 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.
– Gasoline vapors expand and contract with ambient
temperatures. Never fill the gasoline tank past the red FULL
indicator on the fuel filter, as gasoline vapors needs room to
expand if temperatures rise.
WARNiNG
When adding or removing gasoline:
Do not light or smoke cigarettes.
Always stop the engine and allow to cool for a minimum of two
minutes before refueling.
Always loosen gasoline cap slowly to release vapor pressure
and to keep fuel from escaping around the gasoline cap.
Always replace and tighten the gasoline cap securely after
fueling.
Never remove the gasoline cap or add gasoline while the
engine is running or when the engine is hot.
Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Do not pump gasoline directly into the engine at the gas
station.
Always store gasoline in an EPA/CARB compliant container or
to transfer the gasoline to the engine.
Do not overfill the gasoline tank.
Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
WARNiNG
When starting the engine:
Do not attempt to start a damaged engine.
Always check that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel
lines and exhaust system are properly in place.
Always allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before
attempting to start the engine.
Always be certain that the water pump is resting firmly on level
ground.
WARNiNG
When operating the water pump:
DO NOT move or tip the water pump during operation.
DO NOT tip the water pump or allow fuel or oil to spill.
WARNiNG
When transporting or servicing the water pump:
Always check that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the
gasoline tank is empty.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
WARNiNG
When storing the water pump:
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and
other sources of ignition.
Do not store water pump or gasoline near furnaces, water
heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have
automatic ignitions.
DANGER
Never place a gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG cylinder
or any combustible material in the path of the exhaust stream
during operation of the engine.
WARNiNG
NEVER use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other

to the water pump.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
WARNiNG
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result
in gasoline splashing over the water pump and operator while
filling.
NOTicE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blended
gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are some
issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
– These ethanol blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor. The compromised gasoline can be drawn into
the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or
create potential hazards.
– If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using ethanol blended
gasoline higher than 10% by volume, improperly stored
gasoline, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.

WARNiNG
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on
contact. Combustible material can catch fire on contact.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.
Allow equipment to cool before touching.
Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to
ensure adequate cooling.
Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible
materials.
Place the water pump on a flat, level surface. The pump should
be placed close to the water level to ensure maximum pump
performance.
Pump output will be affected by the type, length, and size of the
suction and discharge hoses. The pumping height, also known as
the total head, is the distance from the water level to the point of
discharge. As this distance increases, pump output decreases.
The discharge capacity is greater than the suction capacity.
Therefore, it is important that the suction head is less than the
discharge head. The time required to draw water from the source
to the pump (self-priming time) can be decreased by minimizing
the suction head.

Priming the Pump
NOTicE
DO NOT run the pump dry.
Running the pump dry can destroy the pump seals and will void
the warranty. If the pump was running while dry, stop the engine
and allow it to cool thoroughly before filling the chamber with
water.
NOTicE
Ensure the priming plug is secure before pump operation, if not
secure the priming plug could be ejected and water or other
liquids could be pumped through the top of the outlet flange.
1. Remove the priming cap (top) and fill pump body to the very
top of outlet flange with water. Reinstall the priming plug. DO
NOT over tighten.
2. As the engine starts up, this will start the draw of liquid into
the pump. Located within the pump assembly is the one-
way valve. As you prime the pump housing this one-way flap
valve shuts off the opening to the suction hose. The priming
process is only required when the pump housing is not full of
water.
before Starting the Engine
1. Route the suction hose so that the filter is immersed
completely in the water supply source.
2. DO NOT operate pump without the filter fully immersed.
3. DO NOT operate the pump without the filter attached to the
hose.
4. Secure the suction hose to keep it from moving once the
water pump is started.
5. Route the discharge hose to the desired location. Secure the
discharge hose to keep it from moving once the water pump
is started.
6. Place the water pump on a flat, level surface.
7. Check that the oil is at the full mark on the dipstick, and that
fuel has been added to the fuel tank.
8. Review the water pump assembly and ensure fittings are
properly secured and make sure there are no kinks, cuts, or
damage to hoses.
Starting the Engine
NOTicE
DO NOT run the pump without the unit primed and suction
hose in the water. Damage to equipment resulting from failure
to follow this instruction will void warranty.
1. Make certain the water pump is on a flat, level surface.
2. Move the fuel valve to the ON position
3. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position by pulling out.
NOTicE
Keep choke lever in “CHOKE” position for 2 pulls of the recoil
starter. After second pull, move choke lever to the “RUN”
position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too
much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due
to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to
start.
NOTicE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the unit
is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil
sensor that will prevent the engine from running when the oil
level falls below a critical threshold.

4. Move the throttle lever to the “FAST” position.
5. Press engine switch to “ON” position.
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly.
WARNiNG
Rapid retraction of the recoil cord will pull hand and arm
towards the engine faster than you can let go. Unintentional
startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or
laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could
result.
7. As engine warms up, move the choke to “RUN” by pushing in
and adjust the throttle as needed
NOTicE
Water pump performance can be adjusted using the throttle.
To decrease pump output, slide the throttle to the slow the
engine speed, towards “SLOW”. To increase it, slide the
throttle towards “FAST”
WARNiNG
DO NOT remove either top cap or bottom plug while the water
pump is on and running. Loss of pressure and suction will
occur. Injury may also occur.
Stopping the Engine
NOTicE
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks or
longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine and
fuel storage.
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.

important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine
switch are in the “OFF” position when the engine is not in use.
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 water pump 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, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The
alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained
by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the CPE website.
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 high
altitude jet part number corresponding to the carburetor code
found on your particular carburetor.
Carb. Code high alt. Jet Part number altitude range

6000-8000ft
829-2434 m
WARNiNG
Operation using the alternative main jet at elevations lower
than the recommended minimum altitude can damage the
engine. For operation at lower elevations, the originally
supplied 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.

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 2024 small off-road engine (SORE)
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 (SORE). CPE warrants the emission control system on your small off-road engine (SORE)
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 (SORE) 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 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, 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 (SORE) owner, you should however 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 (SORE) 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.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact:

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 (SORE). 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 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 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, 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, 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 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.
