ENGLISH 100155

Gasoline and Gasoline Vapors (Gas):

– 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.

– 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 (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.

Full Synthetic 5W-30

Degrees Celsiusº (Outside)

(Outside)

Degrees Fahrenheitº

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.

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.

CAUTION

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.

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

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.

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

Weather will affect engine oil and engine

performance. Change the type of engine oil used

based on weather conditions to suit the engine

needs.

NOTE

Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the

Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.

NOTE

11

ENGLISH 100155

ASSEMBLY

Add Fuel (Gasoline) Cont’d.

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.

NOTE

Add Fuel (Gasoline)

1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a

minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content

of less than 10% by volume.

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

¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required

for fuel expansion, more than ¼ 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.

Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum

octane rating of 85.

Do not mix oil and gasoline.

Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the

top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.

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 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.

CAUTION

Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may

result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling.

WARNING

12

100155 ENGLISH

ASSEMBLY

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.

CAUTION

Connecting LPG Cylinder Cont’d.

Grounding

Your generator must be properly connected to an

appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.

A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator

has been provided on the power panel. For remote

grounding, connect of a length of heavy gauge

(12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generator

ground terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground.

We strongly recommend that you consult with a qualified

electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes.

Failure to properly ground the generator can result

in electric shock.

WARNING

– Use only standard 20 or 30 pound capacity LP

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.

NOTE

Connecting Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cylinder

1. Make sure the LPG fuel valve on the generator is in

the off position.

2. Attach the LPG hose (included) to the LPG hose

connector on the side of the generator and tighten

with a 19 mm or adjustable wrench.

Important: DO NOT use tape or any other type of

sealant to seal LPG hose connection.

3. Remove the safety plug or cap from the cylinder

valve.

4. Attach the other end of the hose to the LPG

connector on the cylinder and hand tighten.

5. Check all connections for leaks by wetting the fittings

with a solution of soap and water. Bubbles which

appear or bubbles which grow indicate that a leak

exists. If a leak exists at a fitting then turn off the

gas valve at the tank and tighten the fitting. Turn the

gas back on and recheck the fitting with the soap

and water solution. If the leak continues or if the leak

is not at a fitting then do not use the generator and

contact customer service.

If there is a strong smell of gas: Close off the 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.

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.

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.

WARNING

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.

Surge Protection

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.

Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper

functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.

CAUTION

Grounding

The generator system ground connects the frame to the

ground terminals on the power panel. The system ground is

connected to the AC neutral wire.

OPERATION

The fuel selector switch cover is specifically

designed not to slide to either side while a specific

fuel has been selected and the valve is in the “ON”

position. Only when the fuel valves are in the “OFF”

position can the cover slide side to side.

NOTE

The fuel selector is locked into place once a

“CLICK” sound is made. Only then can a fuel valve

be turned to the vertical position.

NOTE

Fuel Selector Switch

The fuel selector switch on the front panel of the generator

is designed specifically to choose between the fuel source

desired, LPG or Gasoline.

To select a fuel source simply slide the switch cover to either

the right or left, and this will uncover the fuel valve of the

fuel selected.

The LPG fuel valve (A) is to the left of the switch cover.

The gasoline fuel valve (B) is to the right of the switch cover.

1A

2B

Once a fuel source has been selected, the user must turn

the fuel valve to the vertical position to open the fuel valve.

(1)

To turn a fuel valve to the off position the valve must be in

the horizontal position. (2)

For LPG starting in cold ambient < 15°C (59°F)

Move the choke lever to the “75% Choke” position

for electric starting and “100% Choke” for recoil

start. For electric start, gradually move the choke

lever to the “RUN” position over a 2-10 second

duration. To pull to prime for recoil start Pull with

“100% Choke” 1-3 times until you feel a few

combustion pulses that indicates that the engine

momentarily started.

NOTE

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

GFCI

Your generator is equipped with two (2) Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) duplexes. In the event of a

ground fault, a GFCI trips automatically to stop the

flow of electricity and prevent serious injury. The green

indicating light on the receptacle will also turn off. Press

the reset button located on the front of the receptacle to

restore flow of electricity. (A) The green indicating light

will also turn back on. GFCI does not protect against

circuit overloads.

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 120/240 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.

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.

NOTE

To ensure proper operation of the GFCI duplex, perform

this test monthly:

1. With the generator running, plug a lamp into the

GFCI receptacle. Turn the lamp on.

2. Press the “Test” button located on the front of

the receptacle to trip the device. (A) This should

immediately stop the flow of electricity and shut off

the lamp. If the electricity is not stopped, do not use

this receptacle until is has been serviced or replaced.

3. Press the “Reset” button located on the front of the

receptacle to restore the flow of electricity. If the

indicator light does not go out and come back on or

if the GFCI cannot be reset then it must be replaced.

A

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 Gasoline Fuel Valve to the “OFF” position if

operating by gas.

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 ignition switch to the “OFF” position.

7. Turn battery switch to the “Off” Position.

Important: Always ensure that the Fuel Valve and the

Ignition Switch are in the “OFF” position when the

engine is not in use.

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.

NOTE

For the GFCI receptacles to work properly the neutral wire

must be bonded to ground or to the generator frame. Your

Champion generator comes with the neutral wire already

bonded to the frame. If the bonding wire is removed then

the GFCI receptacles will no longer function as designed.

If the neutral bonding wire is removed to accommodate

a transfer switch installation for connection to a house

or building, then the transfer switch must not switch off

the neutral connection to ground within the building.

Champion Power Equipment recommends that you consult

with a licensed, local electrician. Due to the variety of

local codes, we cannot specifically advise you regarding

modifications to the wiring of your portable generator.

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 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
