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, 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.
– DO NOT use both AC & DC at the same time.
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. When
using 230v AC It is not recommended to use 12v
DC together as this may damage generator or
equipment.

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.
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
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.
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. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
6. Turn the battery switch to "OFF" position if
applicable.
Important: Always ensure that the Fuel Valve and the
ignition switch and battery 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.
NOTE
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.
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.
NOTE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding
loads to the generator.
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
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.
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.
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.
