generator, call our help line at 1-877-338-0999. Please

have your serial number and model number available.

Remove the Generator from the Shipping Carton

1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.

2. Remove everything from the carton except the

generator.

3. Using the carrying handles of the unit, carefully

remove the generator from the box. (two people lifting

is recommended)

ASSEMBLY

1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.

2. Loosen the cover screws and remove the

maintenance cover.

5. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.

3. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.

4. Add up to 0.6 L (0.6 qt.) of oil and replace oil fill

cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.

The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.

NOTE

Add Engine Oil

DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it

has been properly filled 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

Add Engine Oil Cont’d.

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

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

Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.

NOTE

The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball

bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life

of the bearing.

NOTE

Full Synthetic 5W-30

Degrees Celsiusº (Outside)

(Outside)

Degrees Fahrenheitº

Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-

in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the

recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30

oil will aid in starting in cold ambient <5ºC (41ºF)

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

Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil

about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill 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

100156 ENGLISH

ASSEMBLY

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

Add Fuel

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

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.

Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum

octane rating of 85.

Do not mix oil and gasoline.

Fill tank to approximately 1/4 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

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 Cont’d.

9

ENGLISH 100156

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.

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.

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.

10

100156 ENGLISH

Economy Control Switch

The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to

minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating the

unit during times of reduced electrical output, allowing

the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use. The

engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is

connected. When the economy switch is off, the engine

runs at normal speed continuously.

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

OPERATION

Starting the Engine Cont’d. 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.

For periods of high electrical load or momentary

fluctuations, the Economy Control Switch should be

turned OFF.

WARNING

While charging a device do not place on the

exhaust side of the generator. Extreme heat caused

by exhaust can damage the device, and cause a

potential fire hazard.

WARNING

Do not operate a device while it is plugged in to the

12V DC outlet.

Prolonged exposure to engine exhaust can cause

serious injury or death.

WARNING

If the engine starts but does not continue to 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.

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

11

ENGLISH 100156

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.

The 12V DC outlet is ONLY to be used with the supplied

12V battery charging cable. The DC output is unregulated

and will damage other 12V DC products. When using the

DC outlet, turn the Economy switch to the “OFF” position.

Be sure all electric devices including the lines and plug

connections are in good condition before connection to

the generator.

NOTE

Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable is

connected and the generator is running. It will not give the

battery a boost of power. The vehicle or the generator may

be damaged. Charge only vented wet lead acid batteries.

Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury

or damage.

CAUTION

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 receptable will also turn off. Press

the reset button located on the front of the receptacle

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

lightwill also turn back on. GFCI does not protect against

circuit overloads.

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.

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

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.

Never exceed the specified capacity when adding

loads to the generator.

NOTE

Overload Operation

The overload indicator light will turn on when the rated

load is exceeded. When the maximum load is reached,

the LED will blink and cut power to the receptacles. To

recover the power, shut down the engine, wait until the

light turns off and restart the 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

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.

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 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 2015 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 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 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 (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.

EMISSION-RELATED PARTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: (using those portions of the list applicable to the

engine)

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.

service, please write or call Customer Service at Champion Power Equipment, Inc.
