Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to
watts:
Volts × 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.
NOTIcE
Never exceed the specified capacity when adding loads to
the generator.
Eco (Economy) Mode
The Eco Mode switch can be activated to turn on economy
control in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise while
operating the unit during times of reduced electrical output. Eco
Mode allows 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.
cAUTION
For periods of high electrical load or momentary
fluctuations, the Eco Mode should be off.
12V Dc Automotive Style Outlet
The 12V DC outlet(s) can be used with the 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 “OFF” position.
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 (not 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 output is unregulated and may damage
other 12V DC products. When using the 12V DC outlet, turn the
Economy mode switch to the “OFF” position.
cAUTION
Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable is
connected and the generator is running. It will not give the
battery a boost of power. The vehicle or the generator may
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 82001i-DF (EU) is parallel ready and
can be operated in parallel with another Champion unit to
increase the total available electrical power. A Champion model
100468 parallel kit (optional equipment) is required for parallel
operation.
Detailed instructions for parallel kit installation and operation
of the connected generators are provided in the parallel kit
owner’s manual.
Stopping the Engine
Gasoline
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 EZ Start dial counterclockwise to the STOP
position.

Important:
Always ensure that the EZ Start dial and fuel vent
on the fuel cap are in the “OFF” position when the generator is
not in use.
Propane
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. Close the fuel valve on the propane cylinder.
4. Turn the EZ Start dial clockwise to the STOP position.

NOTIcE
If the generator will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks
or longer, please see the
section for proper engine
and fuel storage.
MAINTENANcE
Make certain that the generator is kept clean and stored
properly. Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in a clean,
dry operating environment. DO NOT expose the unit to extreme
conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture or corrosive vapors.
NOTIcE
When the Maintenance Indicator light is yellow, service is
required per the Maintenance Schedule Section. To reset
the Maintenance Indicator Light, hold down the AC Overload
Reset Button for 3 seconds. (See Power Panel section under
Controls and Features.)
WARNING
Never operate a damaged or defective generator.
WARNING
Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
NOTIcE
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control
devices and systems may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individual.
The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance.
Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner.
Correct any issue before operating the generator.
