SAFETY INFORMATION

FUEL SAFETY
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPOURS:
� Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
� Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
� Gasoline is a liquid fuel but its vapours can ignite.
� Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
� Gasoline has a distinctive odour, this will 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.
� Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures. Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs room to expand if temperatures rise.

WHEN ADDING OR REMOVING GASOLINE:
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
Turn the generator off and let it cool for at least two minutes before removing the gasoline cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a wellventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.
Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
WHEN STARTING THE GENERATOR:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.
Make certain that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly in place.
Allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before attempting to start the engine.
Make certain that the generator is resting firmly on level ground.

DANGER
Gasoline and gasoline vapours are highly flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

20
model no. 055-0380-4 | contact us 1-844-428-7277
NOTICE:
Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
CAUTION
This engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold level.
NOTICE:
The first 5 hours of run time are 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 slightly and help seat piston rings. After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
NOTICE:
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 < 41� F (5� C) temperatures.

ASSEMBLY

ADD FUEL Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. 1. Remove the gasoline cap. 2. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. Tank is full
when gasoline reaches red circle on screen. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline can expand after filling. A minimum of �" (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion, although more than �" (6.4 mm) is recommended. Gasoline can be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if overfilled, and can affect the stable running condition of the generator. The approximate fuel level is shown on the fuel gauge on top of the fuel tank.
CAUTION
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume. DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank. DO NOT mix oil and gasoline. DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately �" (6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline expansion. DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the pump. Use an approved container to transfer the gasoline to the generator. DO NOT fill tank indoors. DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
WARNING
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result in gasoline splashing over the generator and operator while filling.

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 (see Controls and Features for terminal location). 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.
Neutral Floating*
� Neutral circuit IS NOT electrically connected to the frame/ground of the generator.
� 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.
Neutral Bonded to Frame*
� Neutral circuit IS electrically connected to the frame/ground of the generator.
� The generator system ground connects lower frame cross-member below the alternator. The system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.
*See your model's control panel for specified type of grounding.

NOTICE:
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol blend gasoline. When using ethanolgasoline blends 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. The compromised gasoline can be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or potential hazards. � If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to work with ethanol-gasoline blends. � Any damages or hazards caused by using improper gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer's warranty. It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage instructions for extended non-use.
WARNING
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock.

OPERATION
GENERATOR LOCATION
NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosures or compartments, 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' (1.5 m) of clearance from all combustible material. In addition to clearance from all combustible material, generators must also have at least 3' (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.

OPERATION

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.
WARNING
During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes will become hot. If adequate cooling and breathing space are not supplied, or if the generator is blocked or enclosed, temperatures can become extremely heated and may lead to fire.

OPERATION

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.
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. Disconnect all connected electrical loads from the generator. Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
3. Turn the gasoline fuel valve to the "ON" position.

4. Push the engine switch to the "ON" position.
5. Move the choke to the CHOKE position. Note: for restarting a warm engine, move the choke to 75% of the CHOKE position.
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.

model no. 055-0380-4 | contact us 1-844-428-7277

7. As soon as engine starts, move the choke to the "RUN" position over a 2-5 second duration.
8. Connect electrical loads.

CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS
Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 (if applicable) Volt AC single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
� DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
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.

OPERATION

NOTICE:
Keep choke in "CHOKE" position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke to "RUN" position for up to 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTICE:
For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient temperature > 86�F (30�C), keep choke in 75% of the "CHOKE" position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke to "RUN" position for up to 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.
NOTICE:
For gas starting in cold ambient temperature < 59�F (15�C), the choke must be in 100% of the "CHOKE" position for recoil start procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the "RUN" position over a 2-5 second duration.
NOTICE:
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.

3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices identified in step 1. Add this number to the number calculated in step 2. Starting wattage is the surge 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 � 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 get up to temperature.
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.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Turn off and unplug all connected 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 engine switch to the "OFF" position.

OPERATION

WARNING
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.

OPERATION

4. Turn the fuel valve to the "OFF" position.
Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine switch are in the "OFF" position when the generator is not in use. OPERATION AT HIGH ALTITUDE The density of air at high altitudes 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 3�% for every 1000' (304.8 m) of elevation above sea level. 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, a high altitude carburetor main jet can be installed replacing the standard jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting our Technical Support Team at 1-844-428-7277.

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 high altitude jet part number corresponding to the carburetor code found on your particular carburetor.

Carburetor Code
P31-2-H

Main Jet
Main Jet High
Altitude

Jet Part Number 29.131017.01.H 29.131017.01.01.H

Altitude

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with U.S. EPA emission regulations.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS: The US EPA AND CPE are pleased to explain the Federal Emission Control Systems Warranty on your 2022 small off-road engine (SORE) and engine powered equipment. New engines and equipment must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet U.S. EPA regulations for small off-road engines (SORE). CPE warrants the emission control system on your small off-road engine (SORE) 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 (SORE) at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
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, an 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 (SORE) 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 (SORE), 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 (SORE) owner, you should however be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if your small, off-road engine (SORE) or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine (SORE) 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 1997 and later model year small off-road engines (SORE). 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 (SORE) is:
2a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to U.S. EPA emissions standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts.
2b. 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:
3a. 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.
3b. 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.
3c. 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.
3d. 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.
3e. 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.
3f. 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.

3g. 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.
3h. 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.
3i. 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.
3j. 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.
