IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
– 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.
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.

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.
– 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 well-ventilated 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.

CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Wireless Remote Control
This generator is equipped with a wireless remote control
system for starting and stopping. The system consists of (5)
main components:
1. Receiver Control Module (RCM)
2. Remote Control
3. Battery Switch
4. Ignition Switch
5. Auto-Choke
The Remote Control functions are enabled when:
1. The Ignition Switch is in the “ON” position, AND
2. The Battery Switch is in the “ON” position.
The Remote Control functions are disabled if either of the above
conditions is not met.
To start the generator wirelessly, press the “START” button
on the Remote Control one time. The engine will attempt to
start (6) times. The RCM controls the Auto-Choke during each
attempt to start. If the generator does not start, call Champion
Customer Care team for assistance at 1-877-338-0999.
To stop the generator wirelessly, press the “STOP” button on
the Remote Control one time.
Remote Control Power Consumption
While the Ignition Switch is in the “ON” position, the RCM is
active and waiting for a remote signal. This function requires
electrical current from the battery. If the Ignition Switch is left
in the “ON” position for extended periods (several weeks), the
battery can be completely drained.
Moving the Ignition Switch to the “OFF” position disables the
Remote functions, but the RCM still consumes approximately
2 mA from the battery.
When the push-button electric start or recoil start method is
used, the operator must be sure all electrical loads (appliances)
are turned OFF during startup and shutdown. Damage to the
generator or the attached appliances can be caused by starting
or stopping the generator while appliances are plugged in and
turned ON.
FCC Statement for Remote Control Device
1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1a. This device may not cause harmful interference.
1b. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
! NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
To prevent battery drain, press the Battery Switch to the “OFF”
position. This disconnects power to the RCM so there is no
current draw on the battery.
Control Panel Load Management
When the generator initially starts wirelessly, no voltage is
supplied to the Control Panel for approximately 15 seconds. This
allows the engine to reach full speed before electrical loads are
applied to the generator.
When the generator is stopped wirelessly, the voltage to the
Control Panel is immediately turned off. Then the engine stops
approximately 5 seconds after the “STOP” button on the
Remote Control is pressed. Turning the Control Panel voltage
off before the engine shutdown protects connected appliances
from being damaged by non-60 Hz voltage while the generator
coasts to a stop.
The on/off voltage delay at startup and shut down only happen
when the Remote Control is used. There is no voltage delay
when the push-button electric start or recoil start method is
used.
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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.

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.
5. Tur n the fuel valve to the “OFF” pos iti on.
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 High Alt. Jet Part Number Min. Altitude
100 082378
Z926-1
100123767
3281 ft.
(1000 m)
6562 ft.

! 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.
Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve, the ignition
switch, and the battery switch are in the “OFF” position when
the generator will not be used for an extended period of time.

AND THE CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD (CARB) EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
WARRANTY
Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with bot h the U.S. EPA and state of California Air Resources Board
(CARB) Exhaust and Evaporative emissions regulations.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The US EPA, California Air Resources Board, and CPE are pleased to explain the Federal and California Exhaust and Evaporative Emission
Control Systems Warranty on your 2019 small off-road engine (SORE) and engine powered equipment. In California, new equipment that
use small off-road engines (SORE) must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards.
CPE must warrant the exhaust and evaporative emission control system on your small off-road engine (SORE) for the period listed below,
provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your equipment leading to the failure of
the exhaust and evaporative emission control systems.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such as: carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel lines, (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors),
fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. Also included for your exhaust emission control
system may be the fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter and other exhaust 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 WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This exhaust and evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. If any exhaust and evaporative, emission related part on
your engine or equipment is defective in, 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 coverage solely for the lack of receipts.
As the small off-road engine (SORE) owner, you should 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 to an Authorized CPE distribution center, service center or alternate service
outlet as described in (3)(f) below or CPE dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, Ca. as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs shall be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

The following are specific provisions relative to your Exhaust and Evaporative Emission Control System (ECS) Warranty
Coverage.
1. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year California small off-road engines (SORE) (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 (SORE) is:
2a. Designed, built and equipped 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
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 EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS:
3a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s 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, exhaust and evaporative emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the
Owner’s 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, exhaust and evaporative 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 exhaust and evaporative 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, exhaust and evaporative 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 exhaust and evaporative 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 exhaust and evaporative emission-related parts
sufficient to meet the expected demand for such exhaust and evaporative emission-related parts.
3i. Any CPE Authorized and approved exhaust and evaporative 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.
