Fuel Safety
DANGER
PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Propane/LPG (liquified petroleum gas) and LPG Vapors:
–LPG is a hydrocarbon gas that exists in a liquified form
and it’s vapors are highly flammable and explosive.
–LPG and it’s vapors are under pressure and can cause a
fire or explosion if ignited.
–LPG vapors are heavier than air and will settle in low
places while dissipating.
–LPG itself is odorless and tasteless. For safety, a
chemical is added to give it an odor to help detect leaks
quickly.
–If a leak is detected, IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the gas
supply.
–In the event of an LPG fire and only when safe to do so,
first close the regulator valve OFF and then use a dry
powder extinguisher to put out the fire. This is because
if a fire is extinguished before the regulator valve is
closed OFF, then an explosion hazard condition could be
created.
–Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.
–LPG is a skin irritant and can cause severe cold burns
similar to frostbite.
–Always wear proper protective gloves when connecting
to and disconnecting from a propane bottle.
–Always keep LPG away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
DANGER
NG (natural gas) and NG Vapors:
–NG vapors are highly flammable and explosive.
–NG vapors can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
–NG itself is odorless and tasteless. For safety, a
chemical is added to give it an odor to help detect leaks
quickly.
–NG is lighter than air and will collect in higher areas.
–If a leak is detected, IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the gas
supply.

Be sure to properly purge the fuel lines and leak-test according
to applicable codes before placing the generator in service.
Be sure to regularly inspect the fuel system for leaks. For
safety, a chemical is added to Propane/LPG/NG to give it an
odor to help detect leaks quickly. Never operate the generator
if a fuel leak is present.
Install a fire extinguisher near the generator. Keep it properly
charged and be familiar with its use. An ABC rated National
Fire Protection extinguisher is appropriate for use on standby
electric systems. Contact your local fire department with any
questions concerning the fire extinguisher.

Never use a remote or external fuel supply tank or flexible fuel
hose, or any other fuel component that is broken, cut, torn or
damaged.
Burn Hazards
WARNING
DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
ALWAYS avoid contact with hot exhaust components and
gases. Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur
on contact.
ALWAYS allow hot surfaces to cool to the touch.
Entanglement Hazards
WARNING
Use extreme caution when near rotating parts. Rotating parts
can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing and/or accessories.
Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
Operate equipment with guards in place.
DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or
items that could become caught.
Battery Hazards
WARNING
Always read and comply with the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations for
procedures concerning proper battery use
and maintenance.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and generate
explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen
gases. Keep any device that may cause
sparks or flames away from the battery to
prevent explosion.
Always wear protective glasses or goggles
and protective clothing when working
with batteries. Always follow the battery
manufacturer’s instructions on safety,

NOTICE
When maintenance or service work is performed on the
generator or the home’s electrical system, to prevent
accidental startup pull out the fuse from the aXis Controller®
panel and disconnect the batteries.
This generator has ON/OFF switches that when turned off, will
shut down the HSB (if running) and deactivate the aXis Controller®
preventing future starts. These switches should be used in
instances where the HSB needs to stay off regardless of utility
power presence. When either switch is in the OFF position, the
HSB will not exercise or start for any reason.
When both of the switches are in the ON position, the aXis
Controller®will be energized and the HSB will be controlled by the
programming of the aXis Controller®. Both switches need to be in
the ON position in order for the HSB to operate in AUTO mode.
OTE:N Both switches need to be in the ON position to place the
aXis Controller®in the AUTO mode and in order to exercise
the HSB.

aXis CONTROLLER®STATUS ICONS
The status icons are located at the top of the aXis Controller®.
Utility Pole
The utility pole icon will indicate utility is the source of power.
Transfer Power Direction
Shows the direction of power
House
Icon for house receiving power
HSB
The HSB icon will indicate power when the generator is the source
of power
aXis CONTROLLER®INFORMATION ICONS
The information icons are located at the bottom right side of aXis
Controller®icon touch pad.
Hour Meter
The hour meter keeps track of all running time of the HSB. This
includes run time during a utility power outage and during the
weekly exercise cycle. This provides the owner with a record
of operating time which is useful in keeping track of scheduled
maintenance intervals. Refer to the scheduled maintenance chart.
The hour meter can’t be reset. The initial time registered on the
meter when first started up (installed) will reflect the factory test
time, this is a normal industry standard. The hour meter only
reflects hours, it does not reflect RPMs or any other function.
Exercise Icon
The BLUE icons will be lit when the HSB is performing the exercise
period. Refer to “Setting Exercise Time” to establish the weekly
exercise period. When the exercise period is complete the icon will
turn off and the HSB will resume its standby monitoring. The aXis
Controller®must be in the AUTO mode in order to exercise.

aXis CONTROLLER®FAULT ICONS
Low Oil Pressure Shutdown
The RED icon will be lit when the engine oil pressure drops below
a safe operating level. When this fault is detected, the HSB will
shut down and re-start will be disabled. RED icon on the controller
module and exterior LED will be lit.
Check the oil level. The oil level should be at the FULL mark, if
necessary, add oil. DO NOT overfill. Inspect the unit for a possible
oil leak, if a leak is discovered, contact Champion or your nearest
Authorized Champion Dealer. Follow the FAULT CODE RESET
instructions to clear the fault after service.
High Engine Temperature
The RED icon will be lit if the engine operating temperature
exceeds the factory preset limits. If excessive operating
temperature is detected, the HSB will shut down and re-start will
be disabled. The RED icon on the aXis Controller®and exterior
enclosure LED will be lit.
This failure could be the result of an excessive load or high
ambient temperatures. Should this fault occur do the following;
1. Open the enclosure doors to increase air flow throughout the
unit
2. Check oil level add oil if required
3. Inspect the interior and exterior of the enclosure for debris,
leaves, etc., and remove them to increase air flow around and
inside the unit.
4. Once the engine temperature falls into the normal operating
range, generally 30 minutes, follow the FAULT CODE RESET
instructions to clear the fault after service.
5. Close the enclosure doors and the unit is ready to run.
Over crank
The RED icon will be lit if the engine does not start after 5
attempts. This prevents the HSB from damaging itself or other
related components. When the fault is detected, the HSB will shut
down and re-start will be disabled. RED icon on the controller
module and exterior LED will be lit.
This failure could be the result of insufficient fuel supply. Check
the in-line fuel shut off valves and make sure they are in the ON/
OPEN position. Position them in the correct position, follow the
FAULT CODE RESET instructions to clear the fault after service.
If they are in the correct position and the HSB shows a fault light
again, it’s recommended to perform a Manometer pressure check
by an Authorized Champion Dealer or installer. This will make sure
the correct amount of fuel is being delivered to the HSB when it
starts.
Insufficient battery output could result in poor cranking cycles,
not permitting the engine starter to reach optimum starting RPM
to start the engine. This can be verified by checking the Battery
Charger icon, NO CHARGE. If this occurs, the individual battery
voltages must be checked to determine if the batteries are
properly charged or if they have failed. It is extremely important
to follow all cautions and warning per the battery manufacturer
concerning installation, service, maintenance and replacement
procedures.
Hz Over speed/Under speed
The RED icon will be lit if the engine was operating above or below
its preset speed limits. These limits are factory set to protect the
HSB and the circuits connected to the generator output circuits.
When this fault occurs, the HSB will shut down, light the RED icon,
shut down and re-start will be disabled. The exterior warning LED
on the back of the HSB enclosure will be activated and lit.
