IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 DANGER

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death. If you start to feel dizzy or weak, get to fresh air immediately.

OPERATE GENERATOR OUTDOORS ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA AND POINT EXHAUST AWAY.

DO NOT operate the generator inside any building, including garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or compartment, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle.

DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a conﬁned area through windows, doors, vents or other openings.

 DANGER

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell.

 DANGER

Operate equipment with guards in place.

Rotating parts can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing and/or accessories. Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

DO NOT wear loose-ﬁtting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could become caught.

 DANGER

Generator produces powerful voltage.

DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.

DO NOT use electrical cords that are worn, damaged or frayed. Use only Champion electrical cords for proper application.

DO NOT operate generator in wet weather.

DO NOT allow children or unqualiﬁed persons to operate or service the generator.

NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open.

ONLY use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents.

Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

 WARNING

Although the generator contains a spark arrester, maintain a minimum distance of 5 ft. (1.5 m) from dry vegetation to prevent ﬁres.

Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in damp areas and areas containing conductive material such as metal decking.

Connection to your home’s electrical system requires a listed 30A transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician and approved by the local authority having jurisdiction. The connection must isolate the generator from the utility power and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

 WARNING

Do not use generator for medical and life support uses.

In case of emergency, call 911 immediately.

NEVER use this product to power life support devices or life support appliances.

NEVER use this product to power medical devices or medical appliances.

Inform your electricity provider immediately if you or anyone in your household depends on electrical equipment to live.

Inform your electrical provider immediately if a loss of power would cause you or anyone in your household to experience a medical emergency.

100745 - 2000W DUAL FUEL INVERTER GENERATOR

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 WARNING

Spark from removed spark plug wire can result in ﬁre or electrical shock.

When servicing the generator:

Disconnect the spark plug wire and place it where it cannot contact the plug or any other metal object.

DO NOT check for spark with the plug removed.

Use only approved spark plug testers.

 WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on contact. Combustible material can catch ﬁre on contact.

DO NOT touch hot surfaces.

Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.

Allow equipment to cool before touching.

Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to ensure adequate cooling.

Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible materials.

 CAUTION

Start the generator and allow the engine to stabilize before connecting electrical loads.

Connect electrical equipment in the off position, and then turn them on for operation.

Turn electrical equipment off and disconnect before stopping the generator.

 CAUTION

Improper treatment or use of the generator can damage it, shorten its life or void the warranty.

Use the generator only for intended uses.

Operate only on level surfaces.

DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, or dirt.

DO NOT allow any material to block the cooling slots.

If connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect them from the generator.

DO NOT use the generator if:

– Electrical output is lost

 WARNING

Rapid retraction of the recoil cord will pull hand and arm towards the engine faster than you can let go. Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

When starting engine, pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

DO NOT start or stop the engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

 CAUTION

Exceeding the generator’s running capacity can damage the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

DO NOT overload the generator.

DO NOT tamper with the governed speed.

DO NOT modify the generator in any way.

– Equipment sparks, smokes or emits ﬂames

– Equipment vibrates excessively

100745 - 2000W DUAL FUEL INVERTER GENERATOR

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Fuel Safety

 DANGER

GASOLINE, GASOLINE VAPORS AND PROPANE (LPG) 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.

– Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.

Never ﬁll the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs room to expand if temperatures rise.

LPG:

– LPG is highly ﬂammable and explosive.

– LPG is under pressure and can cause a ﬁre or explosion if

ignited.

– LPG is heavier than air and can settle in low places while

dissipating.

– LPG has a distinctive odor added to help detect potential leaks

quickly.

– In any petroleum gas ﬁre, ﬂames should not be extinguished

unless the fuel supply valve is 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.

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.

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.

For LPG compatible models, be sure that the LPG cylinder is disconnected and stored securely away from the generator.

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, gasoline or LPG cylinders near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.

 WARNING

Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG connector hose, LPG cylinder or any other fuel item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.

– When exchanging LPG cylinders, be sure the cylinder valve is

of the same type.

– Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.

– LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact with it. Keep any and

all LPG away from skin at all times.

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.
