ASSEMBLY
1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Loosen the cover screws and remove the
maintenance cover.
3. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
4. Add oil and replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
5. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
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.
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
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
Full Synthetic 5W-30
Degrees Celsiusº
(Outside)
(Outside)
Degrees Fahrenheitº
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-
in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the
recommended oil change interval.
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

ASSEMBLY
Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an
appropriate ground to help prevent 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.
Failure to properly ground the generator can result
in electric shock.
WARNING
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 after filling. A minimum of
1/4 in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required
for fuel expansion, more than 1/4 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.
Use regular unleaded petrol with a minimum octane
rating of 85.
Do not mix oil and petrol.
Fill tank to approximately 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) below
the top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
DO NOT pump petrol directly into the generator at
the petrol 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.
CAUTION
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may
result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling.
WARNING
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.
NOTE

safety warnings section). In some areas generators must
be registered with the local utility company. Generators
used on construction sites may be subject to local
rules and regulations. Keep on a flat, level surface.
Generators must have at least 5 ft (1.5m) clearance from
all combustible material. In addition they must have at
least 3 ft (91.4cm) of clearance on all sides to allow for
adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Generators
should never be started or operated in ant location that
will not allow for adequate cooling of the generator and/
or the muffler. Allow generators to cool before storage or
transportation. Do not place the generator near any vents
or intakes. Carefully consider wind and air currents when
placing generator.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void
manufacturer’s warranty.
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
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.
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, unless the neutral wire is bonded
to the frame.
Wireless Remote Start (Optional Feature)

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.
NOTE
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, 50 Hz electrical loads.
DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
DO NOT connect 60 Hz loads to the generator.
DO NOT overload the generator.
While charging a device do not place on the exhaust side
of the generator. Extreme heat caused by exhaust can
damage the device, and cause a potential fire hazard.
WARNING
Do not operate a device while it is plugged in to the 12V
DC outlet.
Prolonged exposure to engine exhaust can cause serious
injury or death.
WARNING
12V DC Outlet
The 12V DC outlet can be used with the supplied
charge cable and USB charger and other commercially
available 12V DC automotive style plugs. The DC output
is unregulated and can damage some products. Confirm
your accessory input voltage range is at least 12-24V
DC. When using the DC outlet turn the Economy mode
switch to the “OFF” position.
If the generator has a battery, always turn the battery
switch to the “OFF” position when unit is not in
use, this will stop the battery from being drained.
Follow the maintenance & storage instructions for the
generator & battery when the unit will not be used for
a period of 2 weeks or more.
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.
NOTE

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 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:
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.
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding
loads to the generator.
NOTE
Overload Operation
The overload indicator light will turn on when the rated
load is exceeded. When the maximum load is reached,
the LED will blink and cut power to the receptacles. To
recover the power, shut down the engine, wait until the
light turns off and restart the generator.
Operation at High Altitude
Be aware that engine efficiency can reduce and exhaust
emissions increase when working at high altitude.
Other high altitude issues can include hard starting,
increased fuel consumption and spark plug fouling.
This is a natural trend and cannot be altered by engine
adjustment.
An Important Message About Temperature
Your Champion Power Equipment product is designed
and rated for continuous operation at ambient
temperatures up to 40°C (104°F). When your product is
needed your product may be operated at temperatures
ranging from -l5°C (5°F) to 50°C (122°F) for short
periods. If the product is exposed to temperatures
outside this range during storage, it should be brought
back within this range before operation. In any event,
the product must always be operated outdoors, in a well-
ventilated area and away from doors, windows and other
vents.
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.
