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 100263 generators can
be operated in parallel to increase the total available
electrical power. A Champion parallel kit (optional
equipment) is required for parallel operation. For kit
availability, call customer service at 1-877-338-0999 or
visit www.championpowerequipment.com.
Detailed instructions for parallel kit installation, operation,
and rating of the connected generators are provided in the
parallel kit owner’s manual and operating instructions.
