ASSEMBLY

This unit ships from our factory without oil. It must be
properly serviced with fuel and oil before operation.
If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your
generator, call our help line at 1-877-338-0999. Please
have your serial number and model number available.

Remove the Generator from the Shipping Carton

1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface.

2. Remove everything from the carton except the
generator.

3. Carefully cut each corner of the box from top to
bottom.

The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.

NOTE

Add Engine Oil

DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it
has been properly filled with the recommended type and
amount of oil. Damage to the generator as a result of
failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty.

CAUTION

Add Engine Oil Cont’d.

1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.

2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.

3. Add up to 0.6 qt. (0.6 L) of oil (not included) and
replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.

4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.

Full Synthetic 5W-30

Degrees Celsiusº

(Outside)

(Outside)

Degrees Fahrenheitº

The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will
stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the
threshold level.

CAUTION

Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-
in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the
recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30
oil will aid in starting in cold ambient <5ºC (41ºF)

NOTE

We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-
in period for the unit. During the break in period stay at
or below 50% of the running watt rating and vary the
load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat and
cool. Adjusting the load will also cause engine speed to
vary and help seat piston rings. After the 5 hour break-in
period, change the oil.

NOTE

Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in
the dipstick while checking.

NOTE

Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance.
Change the type of engine oil used based on weather
conditions to suit the engine needs.

NOTE

Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.

NOTE

The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball
bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life
of the bearing.

NOTE

ASSEMBLY

ENGLISH 100314

Add Fuel

1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a
minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content
of less than 10% by volume.

2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.

3. Clean the area around the fuel cap.

4. Remove the fuel cap.

5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL.

Fuel can expand af ter filling. A minimum of
¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required
for fuel expansion, more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is
recommended. Fuel can be forced out of the tank
as a result of expansion if it is overfilled, and can
affect the stable running condition of the product.
When filling the tank, it is recommended to leave
enough space for the fuel to expand.

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

Add Fuel Cont’d.

NOTE

Our engines work 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.

– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised

fuel can be drawn into the carburetor and cause
damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.

– 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 manufacture’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply,
run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank
when the equipment is not in use for more than 30
days.

CAUTION

Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85.

Do not mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to appro
top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
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 fill fuel tank indoors.
DO NOT fill fuel tank when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the
fuel tank.

ximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the

WARNING

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

Grounding

Your generator must be properly connected to an
appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.

WARNING

Failure to properly ground the generator can result
in electric shock.

A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator
has been provided on the power panel. For remote
grounding, connect of a length of heavy gauge
(12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generator
ground terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground.
We strongly recommend that you consult with a qualified
electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes.

100314 ENGLISH

OPERATION

Generator Location

NEVER operate the generator inside any building,
including garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds,
enclosure or compartment, including the generator
compartment of a recreational vehicle. Please consult
your local authority. In some areas, generators must
be registered with the local utility. Generators used at
construction sites may be subject to additional rules and
regulations. Generators should be on a flat, level surface
at all times. (Even while not in operation) Generators
must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from all
combustible material. In addition to clearance from
all combustible material, generators must also have
at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to
allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.
Generators should never be started or operated in the
back of a SUV, camper, trailer, in the bed of a truck
(regular, flat or otherwise), under staircases/stairwells,
next to walls or buildings, or in any other location that
will not allow for adequate cooling of the generator
and/or the muffler. DO NOT contain generators during
operation. Allow generators to properly cool before
transport or storage.
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT
place the generator near vents or intakes where exhaust
fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined
spaces. Carefully consider wind and air currents when
positioning generator.

Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void

manufacturer’s warranty.

Grounding

The generator system ground connects the frame to the
ground terminals on the power panel.

– The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the

frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin.

– Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle

pin connection will not function if the receptacle
ground pin is not functional.

Surge Protection

CAUTION

Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper
functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.

Electronic devices, including computers and many
programmable appliances use components that are
designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and
may be affected by momentary voltage fluctuations.
While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, you
can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.

1. Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors

on the outlets feeding your sensitive equipment.

Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet
styles. They’re designed to protect against virtually
all short-duration voltage fluctuations.

WARNING

Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow,
or wet weather.

Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet
conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or
sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could
result in electrocution.

WARNING

During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes
produced will become hot. If adequate cooling and
breathing space are not supplied, or if the generator
is blocked or contained, temperatures can become
extremely heated and may lead to fire.

4. Press the Engine Switch to “ON”.

5. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.

6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and
then pull rapidly.

7. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, move
the choke lever to the “RUN” position.

NOTE

Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1
pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke
lever to the “Run” position for up to the next 3
pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to
spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of
incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.

NOTE

If the engine starts but does not continue to run
make certain that the generator is on a flat, level
surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil
sensor that will prevent the engine from running
when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.

Connecting Electrical Loads

1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting

2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120/240 Volt AC
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.

Connecting Electrical Loads Cont’d.

NOTE

Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company’s power lines or to another power source
may be against the law. In addition this action,
if done incorrectly, could damage your generator
and appliances and could cause serious injury or
even death to you or a utility worker who may be
working on nearby power lines. If you plan to run a
portable electric generator during an outage, please
notify your electric utility company immediately
and remember to plug your appliances directly
into the generator. Do not plug the generator into
any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could
create a connection to the utility company power
lines. You are responsible for ensuring that your
generator’s electricity does not feed back into the
electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building
electrical system, consult your local utility company
or a qualified electrician. Connections must isolate
generator power from utility power and must comply
with all applicable laws and codes.

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads. Never start
or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged
in or turned on.

2. Let the generator run at no-load for several minutes
to stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and
generator.

3. Turn the fuel valve to the “ O FF” p osition.

4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped
the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.

5. Press the engine switch to the “OFF” position.

Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the
engine switch are in the “OFF” position when the engine
is not in use.

11

NOTE

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.

OPERATION

Do Not Overload Generator

Capacity

Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and
starting watts necessary for your purposes.

1. Select the electrical devices you plan on running at
the same time.

2. Total the running w a t ts of the se items . This is
the amount of power you need to keep your items
running.

3. Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices
identified in step 1. Add this number to the number
calculated in step 2. Surge wattage is the extra
burst of power needed to start some electric driven
equipment. Following the steps listed under “Power
Management” will guarantee that only one device will
be starting at a time.

Power Management

Use the following formula to convert voltage and
amperage to watts:

Volts x Amps = Watts

To prolong the life of your generator and attached
devices, follow these steps to add electrical load:

1. Start the generator with no electrical load attached

2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes to stabilize.

3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to attach
the item with the largest load first.

4. Allow the engine to stabilize.

5. Plug in and turn on the next item.

6. Allow the engine to stabilize.

7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.

NOTE

Never exceed the specified capacity when adding
loads to the generator.

Operation at High Altitude

The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea
level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air­fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output
will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000
feet of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend
and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. 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, Champion Power Equipment can provide a
high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main
jet and installation instructions can be obtained by
contacting Customer Support. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the
Champion Power Equipment internet site.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude
for the application of the high altitude carburetor main
jet is listed in the table below.
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 main jet part number
corresponding to the carburetor code found on your
particular carburetor.

lower elevations, the 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.

Generator Storage Cont’d.

NOTE

Our engines work 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.

– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised

fuel can be drawn into the carburetor and cause
damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.

– 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 manufacture’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply,
run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank
when the equipment is not in use for more than 30
days.

DANGER

Generator exhaust contains odorless and colorless
carbon monoxide gas.

To avo id acciden t al o r unin tended ignition of you r
generator during periods of storage, the following
precautions should be followed:

– When storing the generator for short or extended

periods of time make sure that the engine switch
and the fuel valve are set in the OFF position.
