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.

Add Fuel
CAUTION
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating
of 85 and an ethanol content of less than 10% by volume.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline
expansion.
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.
Store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.
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.
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.

(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
MAINTENANCE
Make certain that the blower is kept clean and stored properly.

NOTICE
The engine works 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 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.
WARNING
Never store the blower indoors or next to appliances where
there is a source of heat, open flame, spark or pilot light as
these conditions can ignite gasoline vapors. DO NOT store the
blower near fertilizer or any corrosive material. Even with an
empty fuel tank, gasoline vapors could ignite. When storing the
blower for short or long periods of time, always be sure that
the engine switch (where applicable) and the fuel valve (where

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.

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:
You must take your CPE engine or the product on which it is installed, along with your warranty registration card or other proof of original
purchase date, at your expense, to any Champion Power Equipment dealer who is authorized by Champion Power Equipment, Inc. to
sell and service that CPE product during his normal business hours. Alternate service locations defined in Section (3)(f.) above must be
approved by CPE prior to service. Claims for repair or adjustment found to be caused solely by defects in material or workmanship will not
