OPERATION
Starting LPG Cont’d. LPG
1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
3. Turn the fuel selector switch to the “Vertical”
position and connect LPG hose.
4. Fully open the LPG cylinder fuel knob.
5. Push the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
6. Push the battery switch to the “ON” position.
7. ELECTRIC START: Pull the choke to the “Choke”
position.
8. Press and hold the ignition switch to the “START”
position. Release as the engine begins to start. If
the engine fails to start within five seconds, release
the switch and wait at least ten seconds before
attempting to start the engine again.
9. Do not over-choke. Allow the engine to warm up
several seconds before gradually pushing the choke
to the “RUN” position.
10. RECOIL START: Pull the choke to the “Choke”
position.
11. PULL-TO-PRIME: Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly. Pull with
choke out 1-2 times until you feel a few combustion
pulses that indicates that the engine momentarily
started.
12. Push the choke in.
13. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and
then pull rapidly.
14. If engine fails to start in 1-pull with choke in the
“RUN” position, then pull choke out and repeat the
PULL-TO-PRIME step.
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.
Economy Control Switch
The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to
minimize fuel consumption and noise while operating the
unit during times of
reduced electrical output
, allowing
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.
For periods of high electrical load or momentary
fluctuations, the Economy Control Switch should be
turned OFF.
WARNING
OPERATION
Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company’s power lines or to another power source
may be against the law. In addition this action,
if done incorrectly, could damage your generator
and appliances and could cause serious injury or
even death to you or a utility worker who may be
working on nearby power lines. If you plan to run a
portable electric generator during an outage, please
notify your electric utility company immediately
and remember to plug your appliances directly into
the generator. Do not plug the generator into any
electric outlet in your home. Doing so could create
a connection to the utility company power lines. You
are responsible for ensuring that your generator’s
electricity does not feed back into the electric
utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building
electrical system, consult your local utility company
or a qualified electrician. Connections must isolate
generator power from utility power and must comply
with all applicable laws and codes.
NOTE
Connecting Electrical Loads
1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting
2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC single
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
– DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
– DO NOT overload the generator.
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.
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.
WARNING
12V DC Outlet
The 12V DC outlet can be used with the supplied
charge cable and USB charger and other commercially
available 12V DC automotive style plugs. The DC output
is unregulated and can damage some products. Confirm
your accessory input voltage range is at least 12-24V
DC. When using the DC outlet turn the Economy mode
switch to the “OFF” position.
Parallel Operation
Two (2) Champion model 73001I-DF (EU) generators
can be operated in parallel to increase the total available
electrical power. A Champion model CPGPARKIT3K
parallel kit (optional equipment) is required for parallel
operation. For kit availability, call customer service at your
local dealer.
Detailed instructions for parallel kit installation and
operation of the connected generators are provided in the
parallel kit owner’s manual and operating instructions.
