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

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

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

ENGLISH 41537

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.

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 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.

REV 41537-20140425 12

41537 ENGLISH

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

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.

4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped

the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.

5. Press the engine switch to the “OFF” position.

6. Press the battery 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.

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

Starting the Engine

1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.

2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.

Never start or stop the generator with electrical

devices plugged in or turned on.

3. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position.

4. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.

5. Flip the ignition switch to the “ON” position.

6. ELECTRIC START: Press and hold the ignition switch

to the “START” position. Release as the engine

begins to roll over. If the engine fails to start within

five seconds, release the switch and wait at least ten

seconds before attempting to start the engine again.

7. RECOIL START: Pull the starter cord slowly until

resistance is felt and then pull rapidly

8. Do not over-choke. As as soon as engine starts, move

the choke lever to the “RUN” position.

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.

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

sparkplug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of

incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.

NOTE

When the battery switch is in the “ON” position,

the switch will light up if the battery is sending

out a charge. If the switch does not light up while

in the “ON” position, check that the battery

connection is still good.

NOTE

The supplied 12V 15AH battery does re-charge

while the engine is running, but it is also

recommended that the battery be fully charged at

least once per month.

NOTE

ENGLISH 41537

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

OPERATION

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.

WARNING

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.

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 2014 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.

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