CAUTION
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.
NOTE
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball
bearing that requires no additional lubrication for
the life of the bearing.
NOTE
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.
1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
Add Engine Oil Cont’d.
NOTE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
CAUTION
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.
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.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add up to 1.2 qt. (1.1 L) of oil (included) and replace

Add Fuel
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a
minimum octane rating of 87 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 after 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.
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
car buretor.
– 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.
6. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 87.
Do not mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the
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.
WARNING
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.
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may
result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling.

OPERATION
ENGLISH100812
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.
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.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet
styles. They’re designed to protect against virtually
all short-duration voltage fluctuations.
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
3. Turn the Fuel Valve to the “ON” position.
4. Flip the engine switch to the “ON” position.
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.
11
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.
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
sparkplug 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 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.
100812 ENGLISH
OPERATION
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.
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.
Grounding
The generator system ground connects the frame to the
ground terminals on the power panel. The system ground is
connected to the AC neutral wire.
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 watts of these 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:
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 “OFF” position.
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.
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.
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.
12
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 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.

5. Replace the spark arrester if it is damaged.
6. Position the spark arrester in the muffler and attach
with the two screws.
CAUTION
Failure to clean the spark arrester will result in degraded
engine performance.
NOTE
Federal and local laws and administrative
requirements indicate when and where spark
arresters are required. When ordered, spark
arresters are required for operation of this generator
in National Forest lands. In California, this
generator must not be used on any forest-covered
land, brush-covered land, or grass-covered land
unless the engine is equipped with a spark arrester.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Generator Maintenance
Make certain that the generator is kept clean and stored
properly. Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in
a clean, dry operating environment. DO NOT expose the
unit to extreme conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture
or corrosive vapors.
CAUTION
DO NOT use a garden hose to clean the generator.
Water can enter the generator through the cooling
slots and damage the generator windings.
Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the generator.
Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and oil.
Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and debris
from the generator.
Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they
are clean and unobstructed.
Storage
The generator should be started at least once every 14
days and allowed to run for at least 20 minutes. For
longer term storage, please follow these guidelines.
Generator Storage
1. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the tank.
2. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the
generator.
3. Run the generator for a few minutes so the treated
fuel cycles through the fuel system and carburetor.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the “Off” position.
5. Let the generator run until fuel starvation has
stopped the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
6. The generator needs to cool completely before
cleaning and storage.
7. Clean the generator according to the maintenance section.
8. Change the oil.
9. Remove the spark plug and pour about 1⁄2 ounce
(14.8 mL) of oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine
slowly to distribute the oil and lubricate the cylinder.
10. Reattach the spark plug.
11. Store the unit in a clean, dry place out of direct
sunlight.
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
car buretor.
– 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 avoid accidental or unintended ignition of your
generator during periods of storage, the following
precautions should be followed:
– When storing the generator for short or extended
Fuel capacity is 5.7 gallons (21.5 L). Use regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87
and an ethanol content of less than 10% by volume.
Oil
Use 10W-30 automotive oil.
Oil capacity is up to 1.2 qt. (1.1 L).
DO NOT OVERFILL.
Please reference the following chart for recommended
oil types for use in the generator.
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.
Spark Plugs
OEM spark plug: LG F6RTC
Replacement spark plug: NGK BPR6ES or equivalent
Make certain the spark plug gap is 0.6 - 0.8 mm or
(0.024 - 0.031 in.).
Maintenance Valve Clearance
– Intake: 0.10 – 0.15 mm (0.004 – 0.006 in.)
– Exhaust: 0.15 – 0.20 mm (0.006 – 0.008 in.)
Note: Tech bulletin regarding the valve adjustment
procedure is on www.championpowerequipment.com.

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) Exhaust and Evaporative emissions regulations.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The US EPA, California Air Resources Board, and CPE are pleased to explain the Federal and California Exhaust and Evaporative Emission
Control Systems Warranty on your 2020 small off-road engine (SORE) and engine powered equipment. In California, 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 exhaust and evaporative emission control system on your small off-road engine (SORE) for the period listed below,
provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your equipment leading to the failure of
the exhaust and evaporative emission control systems.
Your evaporative emission control system may include parts such as: carburetors, fuel tanks, fuel lines, (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors),
fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. Also included for your exhaust emission control
system may be the fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter and other exhaust emission related assemblies. Where a
warrantable condition exits, CPE will repair your small off-road engine (SORE) at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This exhaust and evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. If any exhaust and evaporative, emission related part on
your engine or equipment is defective in, the part will be repaired or replaced by CPE.
OWNER WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine (SORE) 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), but CPE cannot
deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts.
As the small off-road engine (SORE) owner, you should be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if your small off-road engine
(SORE) 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 distribution center, service center or alternate service
outlet as described in (3)(f) below or CPE dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, Ca. as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs shall be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
The following are specific provisions relative to your Exhaust and Evaporative 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 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 EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE 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 any remainder of the
ECS Warranty Period.
3b. Any warranted, exhaust and evaporative 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 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.
3c. Any warranted, exhaust and evaporative 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 exhaust and evaporative 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.
3d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, exhaust and evaporative 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 exhaust and evaporative 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 shall maintain a supply of warranted exhaust and evaporative emission-related parts
sufficient to meet the expected demand for such exhaust and evaporative emission-related parts.
3i. Any CPE Authorized and approved exhaust and evaporative 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.
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.
