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.

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 if operating by
gasoline.
4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
5. Press the engine/ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the ignition
switch are in the "OFF" position when the engine is not in use.
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.

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 3½% for every 1000 ft. 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.

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.

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.
Never operate a damaged or defective generator.
