SAFETY RULES
DANGER
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable and
extremely explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Unintentional startup can result in entanglement,
traumatic amputation or laceration.
When adding or removing fuel:
Turn the generator off and let it cool for at least two
minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen the
cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gas directly into the generator at the
gas station. Use an approved container to transfer
the fuel to the generator.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames,
pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
When starting the generator:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.
Make certain that the gas cap, air filter, spark plug,
fuel lines and exhaust system are properly in place.
Allow spilled fuel 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.
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.
DO NOT start or stop the engine with electrical
devices plugged in.

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.
DO NOT tamper with the governed speed.
DO NOT modify the generator in any way.
CAUTION
Improper treatment or use of the generator can
damage it, shorten its life and void your warranty.
When transporting or servicing the generator:
Make certain that the fuel shutoff valve is in the off
position and the fuel 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.
WARNING
Operation of this equipment may create sparks that
can start fires around dry vegetation.
A spark arrestor may be required. The operator
should contact local fire agencies for laws or
regulations relating to fire prevention requirements.
Use the generator only for intended uses.

CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Wireless Remote Control
This generator is equipped with a wireless remote
control system for starting and stopping. The system
consists of (4) main components:
1. Receiver Control Module (RCM)
2. Wireless Remote
3. Battery Switch
4. Ignition Switch
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 by Remote Control, press the
“START” button on the Remote 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 by Remote Control, press the
“STOP” button on the Remote one time.
Power Panel Load Management Cont’d.
When the pushbutton 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.
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.
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.
Power Panel Load Management
When the generator initially starts by the Remote, no
voltage is supplied to the Power Panel for approximately
15 seconds. This allows the engine to reach full speed
before electrical loads are applied to the generator.
The voltage delay at startup only happens when the
Remote Control is used. There is no voltage delay when
the pushbutton electric start or recoil start method is
used.
