WARNING
Read this manual thoroughly before operating your generator. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
DANGER
DANGER CARBON MONOXIDE: using a generator indoors
CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas.
Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air. ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust. Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home.
ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup
CO alarm in your home. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
DANGER
Rotating parts can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing and/or accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
Operate equipment with guards in place.

Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE, GASOLINE VAPORS AND LIQUID
PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) ARE HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration.
Gasoline and Gasoline vapors:
– GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE.
– Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– Gasoline is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
– 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 gasoline 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 expands or contracts with ambient temperatures. Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline 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.
When adding or removing Gasoline:
Turn the generator off and let it cool for at least two minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
When starting the generator:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.
Make certain that the gas cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly in place.
Allow spilled fuel to evaporate fully before attempting to start the engine.
Make certain that the generator is resting firmly on level ground.
When operating the generator:
DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
DO NOT tip the generator or allow fuel or oil to spill.
When transporting or servicing the generator:
Make certain that the fuel shutoff valve is in the off position and the fuel tank is empty.
Make certain that a LPG cylinder is not attached to generator and is securely stowed away.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
When storing the generator:
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
Do not store generator, gasoline or LPG cylinder near furnances, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.
WARNING
Never use a gasoline container, LPG connector hose, gasoline tank, LPG cylinder or any other fuel item that is damaged or appears damaged.

Add Engine Oil
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly fi lled 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.
NOTE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fi ll hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick while checking.
NOTE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
CAUTION
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.
NOTE
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.
1. Place the generator on a fl at, level surface.
NOTE
We consider the fi rst 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.

DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator.
DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors.
DO NOT fill fuel tank when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
WARNING
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling.
NOTE
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.

CAUTION
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.
WARNING
If there is a strong smell of LPG gas: Close off the
LPG 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.
NOTE
– Use only standard 20 or 30 pound capacity LPG 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.
Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.
WARNING
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock.
A ground terminal has been provided on the lower frame crossmember below the alternator.

ENGLISH
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.
WARNING
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.
Grounding
The generator system ground is located on the lower frame crossmember below the alternator.
– The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin.
– Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is not functional.
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.
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.

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 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.
WARNING
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.

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.
NOTE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the generator.
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.

OPERATION
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 gasoline.
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.
NOTE
When turning off the generator after LPG operation, make sure the LPG cylinder knob is in the fully closed position.
NOTE
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.
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 airfuel 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.

Emission Control System Warranty
Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with U.S. EPA emission regulations.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The US EPA AND CPE are pleased to explain the Federal Emission Control Systems Warranty on your 2016 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 non-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, 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 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 offroad 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, Santa Fe Springs, Ca. 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. 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 is: a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to U.S. EPA emissions standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts. b. 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:
a. 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. b. 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. c. 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. d. 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. e. 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. f. 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. g. 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. h. 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. i. 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. j. 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.
