ASSEMBLY

Add Fuel

1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content up to 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.

Add Fuel Cont’d.

NOTE

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 carbureto r.

– 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.

6. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.

CAUTION

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.

WARNING

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 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.

Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may result in blow back of fuel at the operator while ﬁlling.

REV 46577-20140214 10

OPERATION

ENGLISH 46577

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.

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.

Surge Protection

CAUTION

Voltage ﬂuctuation may impair the proper functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.

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.

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 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.

11 REV 46577-20140214

46577 ENGLISH

OPERATION

Recoil Start

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

2. Turn off all electrical loads connected to the generator. Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

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

4. Press the Engine Switch to “ON”.

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

6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.

7. Do not over-choke. As as soon as engine starts, move the choke lever to the “RUN” position.

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

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.

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 or 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 Electrical Loads Cont’d.

NOTE

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.

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 ignition 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.

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.

REV 46577-20140214 12

OPERATION

ENGLISH 46577

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.

NOTE

Never exceed the speciﬁed capacity when adding loads to 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 airfuel 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.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Generator Maintenance

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.

CAUTION

DO NOT use a garden hose to clean the generator.

Water can enter the generator through the cooling slots and damage the generator windings.

Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the generator. Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and oil. Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and debris from the generator. Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they are clean and unobstructed.

Storage

The generator should be started at least once every 14 days and allowed to run for at least 20 minutes. For longer term storage, please follow these guidelines.

Generator Storage

1. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the tank.

2. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.

3. Run the generator for a few minutes so the treated fuel cycles through the fuel system and carburetor.

4. Turn the fuel valve to the “Off” position.

5. Let the generator run until fuel starvation has stopped the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.

6. The generator needs to cool completely before cleaning and storage.

7. Clean the generator according to the maintenance section.

8. Change the oil.

9. Remove the spark plug and pour about 1⁄2 ounce (14.8 mL) of oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine slowly to distribute the oil and lubricate the cylinder.

10. Reattach the spark plug.

11. Store the unit in a clean, dry place out of direct

sunlight.

Generator Storage Cont’d.

NOTE

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 carbureto r.

– 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.

DANGER

Generator exhaust contains odorless and colorless carbon monoxide gas.

To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of your generator during periods of storage, the following precautions should be followed:

– When storing the generator for short or extended

periods of time make sure that the Engine Switch and the Fuel Valve are set in the OFF position.

Champion Power Equipment, Inc. (CPE),

United States Environment Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)

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 2014 small off-road engine 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 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.

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 offroad 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:

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. 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. 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.
