Wireless Remote Control

This generator is equipped with a wireless remote control system for starting and stopping. The system consists of (4) main components:

1. Receiver Control Module (RCM)
2. Wireless Remote
3. Battery Switch
4. Ignition Switch

The Remote Control functions are enabled when:
1. The Ignition Switch is in the “ON” position, AND
2. The Battery Switch is in the “ON” position. The Remote Control functions are disabled if either of the above conditions is not met. To start the generator by Remote Control, press the “START” button on the Remote one time. The engine will attempt to start (6) times. The RCM controls the Auto Choke during each attempt to start. If the generator does not start, call Champion Customer Care team for assistance at 1-877-338-0999. To stop the generator by Remote Control, press the “STOP” button on the Remote one time.

Remote Control Power Consumption

While the Ignition Switch is in the “ON: position, the RCM is active and waiting for a remote signal. This function requires electrical current from the battery. If the Ignition Switch is left in the “ON” position for extended periods (several weeks), the battery can be completely drained. Moving the Ignition Switch to the “OFF” position disables the Remote functions, but the RCM still consumes approximately 2 mA from the battery. To prevent battery drain, press the Battery Switch to the “OFF” position. This disconnects power to the RCM so there is no current draw on the battery.

Power Panel Load Management

When the generator initially starts by the Remote, no voltage is supplied to the Power Panel for approximately 15 seconds. This allows the engine to reach full speed before electrical loads are applied to the generator.

The voltage delay at startup only happens when the Remote Control is used. There is no voltage delay when the pushbutton electric start or recoil start method is used.

When the pushbutton electric start or recoil start method is used, the operator must be sure all electrical loads (appliances) are turned OFF during startup and shutdown. Damage to the generator or the attached appliances can be caused by starting or stopping the generator while appliances are plugged in and turned ON.

3. Repeat steps 1-2 for the black (­) battery lead.

Add Engine Oil

CAUTION
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.

NOTE
The generator rotor has a sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearing that requires no additional lubrication for the life of the bearing.

NOTE
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive oil.

1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add up to 1.2 qt. (1.1 L) of oil (included) and replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.

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
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.

CAUTION
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.

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
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
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the recommended oil change interval.

Add Fuel

1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 87 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 ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required for fuel expansion, more than ¼ 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.

CAUTION
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87.
Do not mix oil and gasoline. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
DO NOT pump gas directly into the generator at the gas 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.

WARNING
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling.

NOTE
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.

Grounding

Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.

WARNING
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in 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.

OPERATION

Generator Location

NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or compartment, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle. Please consult your local authority. In some areas, generators must be registered with the local utility. Generators used at construction sites may be subject to additional rules and regulations. Generators should be on a flat, level surface at all times. (Even while not in operation) Generators must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from all combustible material. In addition to clearance from all combustible material, generators must also have at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Generators should never be started or operated in the back of a SUV, camper, trailer, in the bed of a truck (regular, flat or otherwise), under staircases/stairwells, next to walls or buildings, or in any other location that will not allow for adequate cooling of the generator and/or the muffler. DO NOT contain generators during operation. Allow generators to properly cool before transport or storage. Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT place the generator near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind and air currents when positioning generator. Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void manufacturer’s warranty.

WARNING
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
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 system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.

Surge Protection

CAUTION
Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.
Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable appliances use components that are designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
1. Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the outlets feeding your sensitive equipment. Surge suppressors come in single- or multi- outlet styles. They’re designed to protect against virtually all short- duration voltage fluctuations.

Wireless Remote and Electric Start

Wireless remote starting is only possible within 80 feet of the generator. Do not attempt to adjust the carburetor choke. The wireless remote and electric starting systems will automatically close and open the choke.

1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn off all electrical loads connected to the generator. Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position.
4. Press the battery switch to “ON”.
5. Press the ignition switch to “ON”.
6. WIRELESS REMOTE START: press and release the “START” button on the handheld Remote Control device. DO NOT hold the button down, only press the button once. The engine will attempt to start six times.
7. A safety feature is provided which delays the electrical power availability during starting mode. The delay lasts for approximately 15 seconds. The delay is provided to prevent damage to the generator if electrical loads are inadvertently turned on during engine startup.
8. ELECTRIC START: Press and hold the ignition switch to the “START” position. Release as the engine begins to roll over. If the engine fails to start within five seconds, release the switch and wait at least ten seconds before attempting to start the engine again.
9. If the generator fails to start, check the battery condition and cable connections.

NOTE
When the battery switch is in the “ON” position, the switch will light up if the battery is sending out a charge. If the switch does not light up while in the “ON” position, check that the battery connection is still good.

NOTE
The supplied 12V 15AH battery does re-charge while the engine is running, but it is also recommended that the battery be fully charged at least once per month.

Recoil Start

1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn off all electrical loads connected to the generator. Never start or stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position.
4. Press the ignition switch to “ON”.
5. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
7. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts, move the choke lever to the “RUN” position.

NOTE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for only 1 pull of the recoil starter. After first pull, move choke lever to the “Run” position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.

NOTE
If the engine starts but does not continue to run make certain that the generator is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.

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, 60 Hz electrical loads.
   —DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
   —DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator. ­
   —DO NOT overload the generator.

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.

Stopping the Engine

Electric or Recoil

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.

   a. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
   b. Press the ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
   c. Press the battery switch to the “OFF” position.

NOTE
The on/off voltage delay at startup and shut down only happens when the wireless remote control is used. There is no voltage delay when the pushbutton electric or recoil startup or shut down methods are used.
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.

GFCI

Your generator is equipped with one (1) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) duplex. In the event of a ground fault, a GFCI trips automatically to stop the flow of electricity and prevent serious injury. The green indicating light on the receptacle will also turn off. Press the reset button located on the front of the receptacle to restore flow of electricity. (A) The green indicating light will also turn back on. GFCI does not protect against circuit overloads.

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” button located on the front of the receptacle to trip the device. (A) 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 is 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 go out and come back on or if the GFCI cannot be reset then it must be replaced.

WARNING
For the GFCI receptacles to work properly the neutral wire must be bonded to ground or to the generator frame. Your Champion generator comes with the neutral wire already bonded to the frame. If the bonding wire is removed then the GFCI receptacles will no longer function as designed. If the neutral bonding wire is removed to accommodate a transfer switch installation for connection to a house or building, then the transfer switch must not switch off the neutral connection to ground within the building. Champion Power Equipment recommends that you consult with a licensed, local electrician. Due to the variety of local codes, we cannot specifically advise you regarding modifications to the wiring of your portable generator.

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

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 airfoil ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet 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.

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.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance.

WARNING
Never operate a damaged or defective generator.

WARNING
Tampering with the factory set governor will void your warranty.

WARNING
Improper maintenance will void your warranty.

NOTE
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control devices and systems may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
