MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic
maintenance.
Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner.
Correct any issue before operating the generator.
Tampering with the factory set governor will void
your warranty.
Engine Maintenance
To prevent accidental starting, remove and ground spark
plug wire before performing any service.
Oil
Change oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the oil
specification to select the proper grade of oil for your
operating environment.
1. Set the generator on top of a work bench or table.
2. Loosen the cover screws and remove the
maintenance cover.
3. Pop up the rubber maintenance plug, from below
the drain bolt.
4. Remove the drain bolt.
5. Tilt the generator on its side and allow the oil to
drain completely.
6. Replace the drain bolt.
7. Add standard engine oil and replace oil fill cap/
dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Spark Plugs
1. Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug.
2. Use a spark plug socket tool or socket (not
included) to remove the plug.
3. Inspect the electrode on the plug. It must be clean
and not worn to produce the spark required for
ignition.
4. Make certain the spark plug gap is 0.7 - 0.8 mm or
(0.028 - 0.031 in.).
5. Refer to the spark plug recommendation chart when
replacing the plug.
6. Carefully thread the plug into the engine.
7. Use the spark plug socket (not included) to firmly
install the plug.
8. Attach the spark plug wire to the plug.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission
control devices and systems may be performed
by any non-road engine repair establishment or
individual.
NOTE
Never operate a damaged or defective generator.
WARNING
WARNING
Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
WARNING
Oil Cont’d.
0.7-0.8 mm
0.028-0.031 in.
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
8. Reinstall the maintenance cover and tighten the
cover screws.
9. Dispose of used oil at an approved waste
management facility.
GFCI
Your generator is equipped with two (2) Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) duplexes. 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.
A
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.
