Assembly 200959 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator ASSEMBLY Your generator requires some assembly. It must be properly serviced with fuel and oil before operation. If you have any questions regarding the assembly of your generator, call our Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999. Please have your serial number and model number available. Unpacking 1. Set the shipping carton on a solid, flat surface. 2. Remove everything from the carton except the generator. 3.
Assembly 200959 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator 3. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel. NOTICE CAUTION Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the Maintenance section for recommended service intervals. Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume. CAUTION DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
Assembly 200959 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Add Fuel: Propane (LPG) CAUTION 1. Confirm the dial is in the OFF position. Do not allow children to tamper or play with the LPG cylinder or hose connections. 2. If using a new propane cylinder, remove the plastic cap from the cylinder valve. 3. Attach the LPG hose assembly (included) to the propane cylinder valve and hand tighten. CAUTION Use approved LPG cylinders equipped with an OPD (overfilling prevention device) valve.
Operation 200959 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator OPERATION – Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is not functional. Generator Location Neutral Bonded to Frame* WARNING – Neutral circuit IS electrically connected to the frame/ground of the generator.
Operation 200959 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Surge Protection 5. Pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly. Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable appliances use components that are designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
Operation 200959 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator 5. Slowly pull the starter cord 3-5 times to prime the engine. NOTICE Keep the dial in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil cord. If generator does not start after first pull, turn the dial to the gasoline “RUN” position for the next three pulls. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling and engine flooding. This will cause the engine not to start.
Operation 200959 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator – DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator. 5. Pull the recoil cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly. – DO NOT overload the generator. WARNING Always remember to plug your appliances directly into the generator and do not plug the generator power cord into any electrical outlet or connect to the circuit breaker panel in your home.
Operation 200959 - 2000W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator Parallel Operation To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, follow these steps to add electrical load: The Champion model 200959 is parallel ready and can be operated in parallel with another Champion unit to increase the total available electrical power.
