ENGLISH UF-51-940035
OPERATION
Generator Location
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 .
This generator must have at least five feet of clearance from combustible material . Leave at least three feet of clearance on all sides of the generator to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing .
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 .
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 connects the frame to the ground terminals on the power panel .
– 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 may not function properly .
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 .
Starting the Engine
1 . Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface .
2 . Turn off all electrical loads connected to the generator .
Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in and turned on .
3 . Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position .
4 . Press the Battery Switch to “ON” .
5 . ELECTRIC START: Press and hold ignition switch in the “Start” position until the engine starts . When the engine starts release the ignition switch allowing it to settle to the “Run” position . Holding down the ignition switch for longer than 5 seconds can damage the starter motor . If the engine fails to start after
5 seconds release the switch and wait at least 10 seconds before attempting to start the engine again .
6 . RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly .
NOTE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter . After first 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 .
NOTE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the generator 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 .

– DO NOT overload the generator .
NOTE
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 .
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 . Press the ignition switch to the “OFF” position .
4 . Turn the Fuel Valve to the “OFF” position .
Important: If the generator will be moved or stored turn the Fuel Valve to the “OFF“ position and ensure the Ignition Switch on the Power Panel is in the “OFF“ position .
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 .
NOTE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the generator .

OPERATION
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 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 .

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 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),
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environment Protection Agency (U.S. EPA.)
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 California Air Resources Board, US EPA AND CPE are pleased to explain the Federal and California Emission
Control Systems Warranty on your 2012 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:
Champion Power Equipment, Inc.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System 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 with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air
Resources Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, 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.
EMISSION-RELATED PARTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: (using those portions of the list applicable to the engine)

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:
You must take your CPE engine or the product on which it is installed, along with your warranty registration card or other proof of original purchase date, at your expense, to any Champion Power Equipment dealer who is authorized by Champion Power Equipment, Inc. to sell and service that CPE product during his normal business hours. Alternate service locations defined in Section (3)(f.) above must be approved by CPE prior to service. Claims for repair or adjustment found to be caused solely by defects in material or workmanship will not be denied because the engine was not properly maintained and used.
