"
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 100477 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 (optional equipment) 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
owner’s manual.
Stopping the Engine
Remote Stop
1. Turn off all electrical loads. Never start or stop the
generator with electrical devices 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 “STOP” button on the remote.
Engine will shut off but the battery switch, ignition switch, and
fuel valve will remain in the “ON” position waiting for the next
start instruction.
To completely shut down the generator, make sure the ignition
switch, battery switch, and fuel valve are in the “OFF” position.
"
NOTICE
Battery power is drawn while the generator is in standby
mode (battery switch ON). If in standby mode for an
extended period, the battery will be completely drained and
the wireless remote and electric start feature will no longer
function.
Manual Stop
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 valve to the “OFF” position.
4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
5. Press the ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
6. Press the battery switch to the “OFF” position.
Important:
Always ensure that the fuel valve, the ignition
switch, and the battery switch are in the “OFF” position when
the generator is not in use.

NOTICE
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.
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 3
½
% for every 1000 ft. 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, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet.
The alternative main jet and installation instructions can be
obtained by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation
instructions are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of
the CPE website.
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 high altitude 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 originally
supplied 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.
