OPERATION

Do Not Overload Generator
Capacity
Follow these simple steps to calculate the running and 
starting watts necessary for your purposes. 
1.  Select the electrical devices you plan on running at 

the same time.

2.  Total the running watts of these items. This is 

the amount of power you need to keep your items 
running.

3.  Identify the highest starting wattage of all devices 

identified in step 1. Add this number to the number 
calculated in step 2. Surge wattage is the extra 
burst of power needed to start some electric driven 
equipment. Following the steps listed under “Power 
Management” will guarantee that only one device will 
be starting at a time.

Power Management
Use the following formula to convert voltage and 
amperage to watts:

Volts x 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.

Never exceed the specified capacity when adding 
loads to the generator.

NOTE

Operation using the alternative main jet at 
elevations lower than the recommended minimum 
altitude can damage the engine. For operation at 
lower elevations, the 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.

WARNING

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 3½% for every 1000 
feet 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, Champion Power Equipment can provide a 
high altitude carburetor main jet. The alternative main 
jet and installation instructions can be obtained by 
contacting Customer Support. Installation instructions 
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the 
Champion Power Equipment internet site.
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 main jet part number 
corresponding to the carburetor code found on your 
particular carburetor.
