200950 - 2500W PORTAbLE INvERTER GENERATOR
OPERATION
20
Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to
watts:
Volts × 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 get up to
temperature.
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.
NOTICE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to the
generator.
Eco (Economy) Mode
The Eco Mode switch can be activated to turn on economy control
in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating
the unit during times of reduced electrical output. Eco Mode
allows the engine speed to idle during periods of non-use.
The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is
connected. When the economy switch is off, the engine runs at
normal speed continuously.
CAUTION
For periods of high electrical load or momentary fluctuations,
the Eco Mode should be off.
Parallel Operation
The Champion model 200950 is parallel ready and can be
operated in parallel with another Champion unit to increase the
total available electrical power. A Champion model 100319 parallel
kit (sold separately) is required for parallel operation. For a list of
compatible models or to order a parallel kit, please call customer
service at 1-877-338-0999 or visit
www.championpowerequipment.com.
Detailed instructions for parallel kit installation and operation of
the connected generators are provided in the parallel kit operator’s
manual.
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 dial counter-clockwise to the STOP position.
Important:
Always ensure that the fuel dial and fuel lever vent are
in the “OFF” position when the generator is not in use.
NOTICE
If the generator will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks
or longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine and
fuel storage.
Moving the Generator
–
ALWAYS turn the generator off and ensure the fuel valve is
closed.
–
ALWAYS make sure engine and muffler are cooled down
before the generator can be handled safely (typically 15-30
minutes).
–
Lift unit up by the carrying handle and move to the desired
location.
