IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 WARNING

Rapid retraction of the starter 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 starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

 CAUTION

Prolonged exposure to vibrations, also known as vibration white ﬁnger, through use of gasoline-powered equipment, such as this blower, could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in ﬁngers, hands, and joints. If symptoms occur such as numbness, or loss of feeling in the ﬁngers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use of this blower and seek medical attention.

Fuel Safety

– DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the blower at the gas

station. Always use an approved fuel container to transfer the fuel to the gasoline tank.

– DO NOT overﬁll the gasoline tank.

– Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot

lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

– Mix and store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.

When starting the blower:

– DO NOT attempt to start a damaged engine.

– 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 blower is resting ﬁrmly on level ground.

When operating the blower:

– DO NOT move or tip the blower during operation.

– DO NOT tip the blower or allow fuel or oil to spill.

 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 its 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.

When storing the blower:

– Store away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot lights, heat and

other sources of ignition.

– Do not store the blower 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 blower off and let cool for 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.

OPERATION

5. The approximate fuel level is shown on the fuel gauge on top of the fuel tank.

DO NOT overﬁll the gasoline tank.

Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

 WARNING

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

 WARNING

Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Wait at least 2 minutes to allow for cool down before refueling. Move at least 50’ (15 m) from refueling site before starting engine. Do no smoke and stay away from open ﬂames and sparks. Failure to safely handle fuel could result in serious personal injury and or property damage.

1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of less than 10% by volume. ybc

2. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.

3. Remove the gasoline cap.

4. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. 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 blower.

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



NOTICE

Our engines work 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 create power performance problems.

– 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 manufacturer’s warranty. It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply (where applicable - not every unit has a fuel shut off), run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank when the equipment is not in use for more than a 30-day period.

– See Storage instructions for extended non-use.

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

16100-Z2M031000M0

High Alt. Jet Part Number

16161-Z151710-0000

16161-Z151510-0000

Min. Altitude

3,000~6,000 ft. (914.4~1,828.8 m)

6,000~8,000 ft. (914.4~2438.4m)

 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 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

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) emissions regulations.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:

The US EPA, California Air Resources Board, and CPE are pleased to explain the Federal and California Emission Control Systems warranty on your 2020 small off-road engine (SORE) and equipment. In the United States and California, new small off-road engines (SORE) and 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 emission control system on your small off-road engine (SORE) and equipment for the period of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine (SORE) and equipment leading to the failure of the emission control system.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel lines (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, ﬁlters, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts, and other emission related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exits, CPE will repair your small off-road engine (SORE) and equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This Emissions Control System is warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on your small off-road engine (SORE) and equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by CPE.

OWNER WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the small off-road engine (SORE) and equipment 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) and equipment, but CPE cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine (SORE) and equipment owner, you should be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine (SORE) and equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modiﬁcations.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine (SORE) and equipment 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 shall be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty coverage, 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 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 so as 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 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 a time not less than the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

3b. Any warranted, 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 advise owners of the warranty coverage for emission related parts. Replacement within the warranty period is covered by the warranty and shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for a time not less than the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.

3c. 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 emissionsrelated part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty, shall be warranted for a time not less than 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, 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 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 must maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufﬁcient to meet the

expected demand for such emission-related parts and must obtain additional parts if that supply is exhausted.

3i. Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part that do not increase the exhaust or evaporative emissions of

the engine or emissions control system 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.
