Operation At High Altitude; Maintenance; Cleaning The Generator - Champion 92001i-DF-EU Operator's Manual

92001i-DF-EU - 1900W RATED DUAL FUEL INvERTER GENERATOR

Operation at High Altitude

The density of air at high altitudes 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.
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, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The
alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained
by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the CPE website.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the
application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the
following table.
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 high
altitude jet part number corresponding to the carburetor code
found on your particular carburetor.
Carb. Code High Alt. Jet Part Number
100005742
100160764
100030032
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 originally
supplied 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.
WARNING
Never operate a damaged or defective generator.
Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
For Emission control devices and systems, read and
understand your responsibilities for service as stated in the
Emission Control Warranty Statement of this manual.
The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance.
Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner.
Correct any issue before operating the generator.
For service or parts assistance, contact our
Technical Support Team at +44(0)-1942-715-407.

Cleaning the Generator

DO NOT spray generator directly with water.
Water can enter the generator through the cooling slots and
damage the generator windings. It can also contaminate the

1. Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the generator.
6000 ft.
2. Use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt and oil.
(1829 m)
3. Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and debris from
the generator.
4. Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they are
clean and unobstructed.
To prevent accidental starting, remove and ground the spark plug
wire before performing any service.
Changing the Engine Oil
Change oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the oil specification
to select the proper grade for your operating environment.
1. Set the generator on top of a work bench or table.
2. Loosen the cover screws and remove the maintenance cover.
3. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick.
