Stopping The Engine - Champion 201110 Operator's Manual

201110 - 9200W ELECTRIC START GENERATOR
To ensure proper operation of the GFCI duplex, perform this test
monthly:
1. With the generator running, plug a lamp into the GFCI
receptacle. Turn the lamp on.
2. Press the "TEST" (C) button located on the front of the
receptacle to trip the device. This should immediately stop
the flow of electricity and shut off the lamp. If the electricity
is not stopped, do not use this receptacle until it has been
serviced or replaced.
3. Press the "RESET" button located on the front of the
receptacle to restore the flow of electricity. If the indicator
light does not come back on or if the GFCI cannot be reset
then it must be replaced.


In any electrical application, some current will flow through
the protective ground conductor to the ground, this is called
leakage current. It takes 4 mA (0.004 A) and higher of leakage
current from the hot wire to the ground to cause a GFCI to trip.
On circuits protected by GFCI's, leakage current can cause
unnecessary and intermittent tripping.
Some stationary motors, such as a bathroom vent fan,
fluorescent lighting fixtures or some refrigerators, may produce
enough leakage to cause nuisance tripping. To avoid nuisance
tripping, a GFCI should not supply:
– Fluorescent or other types of electric-discharge lighting
fixtures.
– Permanently installed electric motors, like air conditioners,
furnaces or refrigerators.

NOTICE

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn off and unplug all connected 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. Press the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the "OFF" position.
Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the ignition
switch are in the "OFF" position when the generator 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.
