OIL

ENGLISH 100812

Add Engine Oil

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 oil ﬁll cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.

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

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.

100812 ENGLISH

ASSEMBLY

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

ENGLISH 100812

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1. Allow the engine to cool completely before servicing the spark arrester.

2. Remove the two screws holding the cover plate which retains the end of the spark arrester to the mufﬂer.

3. Remove the spark arrester screen.

4. Carefully remove the carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen with a wire brush.

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.

Cleaning

CAUTION

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

periods of time make sure that the Engine

Switch and the Fuel Valve are set in the OFF

position.

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.

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.
