Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS ARE HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors:
–Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
–Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
–Gasoline is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
–Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
–Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly.
–Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs
room to expand when temperatures rise.
–In the case of any petroleum gasoline fire, flames should never
be extinguished unless the fuel supply valve can be turned
OFF. By not doing so, if a fire is extinguished and the supply
of fuel is not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be created.
When adding or removing gasoline:
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
Turn the generator off and let cool for at least two minutes before
removing the gasoline cap. Always loosen the cap slowly to relieve
pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the gas
station. Always use an approved container to transfer the fuel to
the generator.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.
Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat and other sources of ignition.
When starting the generator:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged generator.
Always check that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines
and exhaust system are properly in place.
Always allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before attempting
to start the engine.
Always be certain that the generator is resting firmly on level
ground.
When operating the generator:
DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.
When transporting or servicing the generator:
Always check that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the
gasoline tank is empty.
For LPG compatible models, check that the LPG cylinder is
disconnected and stored securely away from the generator.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
When storing the generator:
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other
sources of ignition.
Do not store generator, gasoline or LPG cylinders near furnaces,
water heaters, or any other appliances that produce heat or have
automatic ignitions.
DANGER
NEVER place a gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG cylinder
or any combustible material in the path of the exhaust stream
during operation of the engine.
WARNING
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel
item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.

201004 - 7500W WIRELESS REMOTE START GENERATOR CONTROLS AND FEATURES
15
Wireless Remote Control
This generator is equipped with a wireless remote control system
for starting and stopping. The system consists of (5) main
components:
1. Receiver Control Module (RCM)
2. Remote Key Fob
3. Battery Switch
4. Ignition Switch
5. Auto-Choke
The Remote Control functions are enabled when:
1. The Ignition Switch is in the “ON” position, AND
2. The Battery Switch is in the “ON” position.
The Remote Control functions are disabled if either of the above
conditions is not met.
To start the generator wirelessly, press the “START” button on
the remote key fob one time. The engine will attempt to start (6)
times. The RCM controls the Auto-Choke during each attempt
to start. If the generator does not start, call Champion Customer
Care team for assistance at 1-877-338-0999.
To stop the generator wirelessly, press the “STOP” button on the
remote key fob one time.
Remote Control Power Consumption
While the Ignition Switch is in the “ON” position, the RCM is active
and waiting for a remote signal. This function requires electrical
current from the battery. If the Ignition Switch is left in the “ON”
position for extended periods (several weeks), the battery can be
completely drained.
Moving the Ignition Switch to the “OFF” position disables the
Remote functions, but the RCM still consumes approximately
2 mA from the battery.
To prevent battery drain, press the Battery Switch to the “OFF”
position. This disconnects power to the RCM so there is no current
draw on the battery.
Control Panel Load Management
When the generator initially starts wirelessly, no voltage is
supplied to the Control Panel for approximately 15 seconds. This
allows the engine to reach full speed before electrical loads are
applied to the generator.
When the generator is stopped wirelessly, the voltage to the
Control Panel is immediately turned off. Then the engine stops
approximately 5 seconds after the “STOP” button on the remote
key fob is pressed. Turning the Control Panel voltage off before
the engine shutdown protects connected appliances from being
damaged by non-60 Hz voltage while the generator coasts to a
stop.
The on/off voltage delay at startup and shut down only happen
when the remote key fob is used. There is no voltage delay when
the push-button electric start or recoil cord method is used.

NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about
1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
When using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in
the dipstick while checking.
NOTICE
Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
CAUTION
This engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
NOTICE
The first 5 hours of run time are the break-in period for the
unit. During the break in period stay at or below 50% of the
running watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the load will also
cause engine speed to vary slightly and help seat piston rings.
After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not decrease the recommended
oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting
in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C) temperatures.

Add Fuel
DANGER
Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes. 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 broken, cut, torn or damaged.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank. Always keep fuel away from
sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of
ignition.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of 10% or less by
volume. ybc
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
1. Remove the gasoline cap.
2. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. Tank is full when gasoline
reaches red circle on screen. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline can
expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of space left
in the tank is required for gasoline expansion, although more
than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Gasoline can be forced
out of the tank as a result of expansion if overfilled, and can
affect the stable running condition of the generator.
3. The approximate fuel level is shown on the fuel gauge on top
of the fuel tank.
4. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87
and an ethanol content of 10% or less by volume.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
DO NOT overfill the tank. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) below the top of the tank to allow for gasoline
expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator at the pump.
Use an approved fuel container to transfer the gasoline to the
generator.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
WARNING
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result
in gasoline splashing over the generator and operator while
filling.

NOTICE
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol
blend gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are
some issues worth noting:
–Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
–These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or
a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor. The
compromised gasoline can be drawn into the carburetor
and cause damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
–If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
–Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or improperly
formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer’s
warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.
Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate
ground to help prevent electric shock.
WARNING
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric
shock.
A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator has
been provided (see Controls and Features for terminal location).
For remote grounding, connect a length of heavy gauge
(12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generator ground
terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground. We strongly
recommend that you consult with a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with local electrical codes.
Neutral Floating*
–Neutral circuit IS NOT electrically connected to the frame/
ground of the generator.
–The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame and
from the AC receptacle ground pin.
–Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin
connection will not function if the receptacle ground pin is not
functional.
Neutral Bonded to Frame*
–Neutral circuit IS electrically connected to the frame/ground of
the generator.
–The generator system ground connects lower frame cross-
member below the alternator. The system ground is connected
to the AC neutral wire.
* See your Specifications section for specified type of grounding.
OPERATION
Generator Location
WARNING
NEVER operate the generator inside any building, garage,
basement, crawlspace, shed, enclosure or compartment,
including a generator compartment of a recreational vehicle.
NEVER operate or start the generator in the back of an
SUV, camper, trailer, truck bed (regular sides, flat or other
configuration), under staircases, stairwells, next to walls
or buildings or in any other location that will not allow for
adequate cooling of the generator or for the proper exit of the
exhaust flow from the muffler system.
DO NOT operate or store the generator in wet weather
conditions such as rain or snow. Using a generator in wet
conditions could result in serious injury or death due to
electrocution.
In some state’s generators may be required to be registered
with the local utility company when used at construction sites
and may be subject to additional rules and regulations, consult
your local municipal authority.
Generators should always be operated on a flat, level surface
at all times (even when not in operation).
Generators must have a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) of
clearance from all combustible material.
Generators must also have a minimum of 3 feet (91.4 cm)
of air flow clearance on all sides to allow for adequate
performance cooling, maintenance and servicing.
Always place the generator in a well-ventilated area. NEVER
place the generator near air intake vents or where exhaust
fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
Always carefully consider wind and air currents when
positioning generator.
Always allow generators to properly cool before transport or
for storage purposes.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may result in
personal injury, damage to the generator and void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
