ENGLISH

OPERATION

Never exceed the specified capacity when adding 
loads to the generator.

NOTE

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.

NOTE

Observing frost on LPG containers and regulators 

is common during operation and normally is not 

an indication of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and 

travels from the tank to the generator engine it 

expands. The amount of frost that forms can be 

affected by the size of the container, the amount of 

fuel being used, the humidity of the air and other 

operating conditions. In unusual situations this 

frost may eventually restrict the flow of gas to the 

generator resulting in deteriorating performance. 

For example, if the tank temperature is reduced 

to a very low level then the rate at which the LPG 

vaporizes is also reduced and may not provide 

sufficient fuel flow to the engine. This is not an 

indication of a problem with the generator but 

only a problem with the flow of gas from the LPG 

container. If generator performance seems to be 

deteriorating at the same time that ice formation is 

observed on tank valve, hose or regulator then some 

actions may be taken to eliminate this symptom.

 

In these rare situations it can be helpful to reduce 

or eliminate the cold fuel system effects by doing 

one of the following:

 

– Exchanging fuel tanks to allow the first tank to 

warm up, repeating as necessary

 

– Placing the LPG container at the end of the 

generator near the handle, where engine fan air 

flows out from the generator. This air is slightly 

heated by flowing over the engine. The container 

should not be placed in the path of the muffler 

outlet.

 

– The container can be temporarily warmed by 

pouring warm water over the top of the tank.

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 
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.

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.
