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.
Starting wattage is the surge 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.
4. If the generator power output is cut off due to an overload
condition indicated by the AC overload blinking light, lower
the load by unplugging one or more items, then press the
AC overload reset button before restarting the generator for
continued normal operation.
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 get up to
temperature.
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 button 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.
Parallel Operation
The Champion model 200962 is parallel ready and can be
operated in parallel with another Champion unit to increase the
total available electrical power. A Champion parallel kit (optional
equipment) is required for parallel operation. Model 100319 is the
recommended model for this unit. For a list of compatible models
or to order a parallel kit, please call customer service at 1-877-
338-0999 or visit
www.championpowerequipment.com.
Detailed instructions for parallel kit installation and operation of
the connected generators are provided in the parallel kit operator’s
manual.
