Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors: 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. Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly. Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs room to expand when temperatures rise. In the case of any petroleum gasoline fire, flames should never be extinguished unless the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF. By not doing so, if a fire is extinguished and the supply of fuel is not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be created. When adding or removing gasoline: DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes. Always turn the generator off and let cool for a minimum of two minutes before removing the gasoline cap. Afterwards, loosen gasoline cap to relieve pressure from the gasoline tank. Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas station. Always use an approved fuel container to transfer the gasoline 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. Always make certain that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly secured, connected and in place. Always allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before attempting to start the engine. Make certain that the generator is resting firmly on level ground.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When operating the generator: DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation. DO NOT tip the generator or allow fuel or oil to spill. When transporting or servicing the generator: Make certain that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the
gasoline tank is empty. Disconnect the spark plug wire. When storing the generator: Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and
other sources of ignition. Do not store generator or gasoline near furnaces, water
heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.
WARNING
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.

100269 - 3400W PORTABLE INVERTER GENERATOR

ASSEMBLY

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 < 41º F (5º C) temperatures.
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. y b c 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 ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion, although more than ¼ in. (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. 3. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
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 ¼ in. (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 fuel 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.
NOTICE
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol blend gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline 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.
Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.
WARNING
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in 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.

100269 - 3400W PORTABLE INVERTER GENERATOR
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 crossmember below the alternator. The system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.
* See your Specifications section for specified type of grounding.
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.
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.

OPERATION
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.
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 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. Turn the engine switch to the "ON" position.

100269 - 3400W PORTABLE INVERTER GENERATOR
5. Pull choke knob out to the "CHOKE" position.
6. Pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
7. As engine warms up, push the choke knob in to the "RUN" position.
NOTICE
Keep choke in "CHOKE" position for only 1 pull of the recoil cord. After first pull, press the choke knob in to the "RUN" position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil cord. 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.
NOTICE
For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient > 86°F (30°C): Keep the choke in 75% of the "CHOKE" position for only 1 pull of the recoil cord. After first pull, push choke to the "RUN" position for up to 3 more pulls of the recoil cord. 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.
NOTICE
For gas starting in cold ambient < 59°F (15°C): The choke must be in 100% of the "CHOKE" position for manual start procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, push the choke knob in the "RUN" position.
NOTICE
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.

OPERATION
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 the generator.
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.
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. 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.

100269 - 3400W PORTABLE INVERTER GENERATOR
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.
NOTICE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the generator.
Eco (Economy) Mode
The Eco Mode switch can be activated to turn on economy control in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating the unit during times of reduced electrical output. Eco Mode allows 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.

OPERATION

Parallel Operation
The Champion model 100269 is parallel ready and can be operated in parallel with another Champion unit to increase the total available electrical power. A Champion model 100333 parallel kit (sold separately) is required for parallel operation. For a list of compatible models or to order a parallel kit, please call customer service at 1-877-338-0999 or visit www.championpowerequipment.com.
Detailed instructions for parallel kit installation and operation of the connected generators are provided in the parallel kit operator's manual.
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.
Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine switch are in the "OFF" position when the generator is not in use.
NOTICE

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 3½% for every 1000 ft. 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, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation instructions are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the CPE website.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the following table.
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.

Carb. Code P25-13-H

High Alt. Jet Part Number 28.131017.00.01.H

Min. Altitude
3500 ft. (1067 m)

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.
Moving the Generator
NEVER lift or carry the generator using the folding handle. ALWAYS place the generator on its wheels in the upright
position.

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 originally supplied 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.

ALWAYS turn the generator off and ensure the fuel valve is closed.

MAINTENANCE

ALWAYS make sure engine and muffler are cooled down before the generator can be handled safely (typically 15-30 minutes).
1. Begin by raising the folding handle, found on opposite side of wheels.
2. Using the handle, tilt the end of the generator slightly off the ground until balanced on the wheels.

Make certain that the generator is kept clean and stored properly. Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in a clean, dry operating environment. DO NOT expose the unit to extreme conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture or corrosive vapors.
