12v DC Automotive Style Outlet
The 12V DC outlet(s) can be used with supplied accessories and
other commercially available 12V DC automotive style plugs.
The DC output is unregulated and can damage some products.
Confirm the input voltage range of your item is at least 12-24V
DC. When using the DC outlet turn the Eco Mode switch to the

WARNING
Do not operate a device while it is plugged in to the 12V DC
outlet.
Prolonged exposure to engine exhaust can cause serious
injury or death.
CAUTION
While charging a device do not place on the exhaust side of
the generator. Extreme heat caused by exhaust can damage
the device, and cause a potential fire hazard.
Battery Charging
1. Before connecting the battery charging cable (included)
to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect the
vehicle battery ground cable from the negative (–) battery
terminal.
2. Plug the battery charging cable into the 12V DC receptacle
of the generator.
3. Connect the red (+) battery charger lead to the red (+)
battery terminal.
4. Connect the black (–) battery charger lead to the black (–)
battery terminal.
5. Start the generator.
Important:
The 12V DC outlet is ONLY to be used with the

be damaged. Charge only vented wet lead acid batteries.
Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury
or damage.
NOTICE
Be sure all electric devices including the lines and plug
connections are in good condition before connection to the
generator.
Parallel Operation
The Champion model 92001i-EU is parallel ready and can be
operated in parallel with another Champion unit to increase
the total available electrical power. A Champion parallel kit
(optional equipment) is required for parallel operation. For a list
of compatible models or to order a parallel kit, please contact
your local distributor.
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.
