SAFETY RULES
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 (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.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Propane/LPG):
– LPG (PROPANE) IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE.
– Flammable gas under pressure can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– LPG (propane) is heavier than air and can settle in low places while dissipating.
– LPG (propane) 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 Gas:
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 gas 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, gas or LPG cylinder near furnances, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.
WARNING
Never use a gas container, LPG connector hose, gas tank, LPG cylinder or any other fuel item that is damaged or appears damaged.

NOTE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
Degrees Fahrenheitº (Outside)
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
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
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the recommended oil change interval.
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.

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
1/4 in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required for fuel expansion, more than 1/4 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.
6. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 85.
Do not mix oil and gasoline.

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.
Add Fuel Cont’d.
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.
WARNING
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling.

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.

100263 ENGLISH
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 3 ½ % for every 1000 feet 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.

* 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), California Air Resources Board (CARB) and/or Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). Whichever warranty applies for the longer period, either this 3 year limited warranty or the applicable Emission Control System Warranty, shall supersede the other.
Champion Power Equipment, Inc. (CPE),
The United States Environment Protection Agency (U.S. EPA.) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
Emission Control System Warranty
Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with both the U.S. EPA and state of California Air
Resources Board (CARB) emission regulations.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The US EPA, California Air Resources Board, and CPE are pleased to explain the Federal and California Emission
Control Systems Warranty on your 2017 small off-road engine and engine powered equipment. In California, new, small off-road engines and new equipment that use small off-engines 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 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. For engines less than or equal to 80cc, only the fuel tank and fuel line is subject to the evaporative emission control warranty requirements of this section.
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 1995 and later model year California small off-road engines (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 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 and all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board and 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.

Alternate service locations defined in Section (3)(f.) above must be approved by CPE prior to service.
