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.

– 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 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.

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.

OPERATION



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.

MAINTENANCE



NOTICE

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

– ALWAYS turn the generator off and ensure the fuel valve is

closed.

– ALWAYS make sure engine and muffler are cooled down

before the generator can be handled safely (typically 15-30
minutes).

– Lift unit up by the frame with 2 people and move to the desired

location.

– Do not drop or strike unit or place under heavy objects.

– Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal

injury or damage to the generator.

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 Altitude Range

100005757

196 94

100005766

3281-6562ft.

(1000-2000m)

6562-9843ft.

(2000-3000m)

 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.

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 altitude range for the
application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the

CHAMPION POWER EQUIPMENT, INC. (CPE),

THE UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL 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) 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 2020 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.

EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

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.
