Setup Guide

Setting up the Champion 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator is easy. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Choose your fuel: Fill the generator with either gasoline or propane.
2. Add oil: Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. The generator comes with a pre-measured oil bottle.
3. Turn on the fuel valve: Open the fuel valve to allow fuel to flow to the engine.
4. Start the generator: Use the electric start button or the recoil start handle to start the generator.
5. Adjust the engine speed: Use the Eco-Mode switch to adjust the engine speed according to your power requirements.
6. Connect your devices: Plug your devices into the outlets and turn them on.

STORAGE

DANGER

Gasoline and gasoline vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator. Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel item that is damaged or appears damaged. DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank. Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat,, and other sources of ignition. DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.

Short Term Storage (up to 1 year)
Gasoline in the gasoline tank has a maximum shelf life of up to 1 year with the addition of properly formulated fuel stabilizers and if stored in a cool, dry place. Gasoline in the carburetor, however, may gum up and clog the carburetor if it isn’t used or drained within 2-4 weeks.

1. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
2. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the gasoline tank.
3. Start the engine by following the directions in the “Starting the Engine: Gasoline” section.
4. Run the generator for 10 minutes so the treated gasoline cycles through the fuel system and carburetor.
5. Turn the EZ Start dial counterclockwise to the “RUN OUT OF FUEL” position.
6. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
7. After the engine stops, turn the EZ Start dial counterclockwise to the “STOP” position.
8. Allow the engine to cool.
9. Remove the maintenance cover.
10. Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of oil into the cylinder.
11. SLOWLY pull the recoil to rotate the engine to distribute and lubricate the cylinder.
12. Re-install the spark plug and spark plug wire.
13. Re-install the maintenance cover.
14. Clean the generator according to Cleaning the Generator.
15. Store the generator in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Long Term Storage (more than 1 year)

For storage over 1 year, the gasoline tank and carburetor must be completely drained of gasoline.

1. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
2. Place the inverter on blocks to allow appropriate gasoline container or pan to slide under inverter.
3. Remove the maintenance cover.
4. Turn the EZ Start dial to the RUN position for gasoline.
5. Using a Phillips screwdriver, rotate drain screw counterclockwise (3) full turns. Gasoline will drain through clear tubing out underneath the inverter. Make sure draining gasoline empties into an appropriate container.
6. When gasoline stops flowing from the clear tube, rotate drain screw clockwise until tight. Properly dispose of the drained gasoline according to local regulations or guidelines.
7. Turn the EZ Start dial to the STOP position.
8. Follow steps 8-12 according to Short Term Storage.

Removing from Storage

If the generator has been improperly stored for a long period of time with gasoline in the gasoline tank and/or carburetor, all fuel must be drained and the carburetor must be thoroughly cleaned. This process involves technically advanced tasks.  If the gasoline tank and carburetor were properly emptied of all gasoline prior to the generator being stored, follow the below steps when removing from storage.

1. Be sure the EZ Start dial is in the STOP position.
2. Add gasoline to the generator according to Add Fuel: Gasoline.
3. Move the EZ Start dial to the START position.
4. After 5 minutes check the carburetor and air filter areas for any leaking gasoline. If any leaks are found, the carburetor will need to be disassembled and cleaned or replaced. If no gasoline leaks are found, turn the EZ Start dial to the “STOP” position.
5. Check engine oil level and add clean, fresh oil if needed. See Oil Specifications for proper oil type.
6. Check and clear air filter of any obstructions such as bugs or cobwebs. If necessary, clean air filter according to Cleaning the Air Filter.
7. Start the generator according to Starting the Engine.

DANGER

• Generator exhaust contains odorless and colorless carbon monoxide gas. 
• To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of your generator during periods of storage, the following precautions should be followed: 
• When storing the generator make sure the EZ Start dial is set to the “OFF” position.
