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.
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 shortduration voltage fluctuations.
Starting the Engine

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.
Rev 41331-20110330 English 11
Operation
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.

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 ignition switch to the “Off”
position.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the “Off” position.
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 generator capacity when
adding loads.
Do Not Overload Generator

Operation
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 air-fuel
ratio decrease. Engine power and
generator output will be reduced
approximately 3 ½ % for every 1000
feet of elevation above sea level. This is
a natural trend and cannot be changed
by adjusting the engine. At sufficiently
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.

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 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.

Champion Power Equipment, Inc. (CPE),
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environment Protection Agency (U.S. EPA.)
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) emission regulations.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The California Air Resources Board, US EPA AND CPE are pleased to explain the Federal and California Emission
Control Systems Warranty on your 2011 small off-road engine. In California, new, small off-road engines must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti smog standards. In the other states, new engines
must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines.
CPE must warrant the emission control system on your small off-road engine for the period of time listed below,
provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your small offroad engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the ignition system,
catalytic converter and fuel lines. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related
assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exits, CPE will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emission control system is warranted for two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If, during the
warranty period, emission related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part will be
repaired or replaced by CPE.
OWNER WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine 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 offroad engine, but CPE cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if
your small, off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine 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 should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact:
Champion Power Equipment, Inc.

The emission warranty is a defects warranty. Defects are judged on normal engine performance. The warranty is
not related to an in-use emission test.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System Warranty Coverage.
Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1995 and later model year California small off-road engines
(for other states, 1997 and later model year engines):
1. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year California small off-road engines (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 is:
a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the Air
Resources Board pursuant to its authority in Chapters 1 and 2, Part 5, Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code,
and
b. 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:
a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owners
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 any remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
b. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the
Owners 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 not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or
replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
c. 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 emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty,
shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for
such emissions-related part.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. 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.
g. 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.
h. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts
sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
i. Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part 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.
j. 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.
