Key Features

Tri-Fuel Flexibility

Choose from three fuel sources using the convenient Fuel Select dial:

• Gasoline: Provides the generator’s highest listed output.


• Propane (LPG): Offers an alternative fuel option using a compatible propane tank.


• Natural Gas (NG): Enables connection to a suitable natural gas supply using the included hose kit.

The ability to use all three fuels straight out of the box provides flexibility for different operating conditions and fuel availability.

Power Output by Fuel Type

Fuel Type	Starting Watts	Running Watts	Runtime
Gasoline	11,500W	9,200W	Up to 10 hours at 50% load
Propane (LPG)	10,625W	8,500W	Up to 5 hours at 50% load with a 20 lb tank
Natural Gas (NG)	9,375W	7,500W	Not specified

Runtime depends on load, fuel supply, and operating conditions. Gasoline runtime is based on a full 8.5-gallon tank.

Powerful 459cc Champion Engine

The 459cc engine delivers dependable power for compatible household equipment, tools, and other electrical loads within the generator’s capacity.

Electric Start and Cold Start Technology

The electric-start system includes a battery for convenient starting. Champion’s Cold Start Technology is designed to support reliable starts in cold weather.

CO Shield® Carbon Monoxide Shutdown

CO Shield monitors carbon monoxide accumulation while the generator is operating. If unsafe elevated levels are detected, the system automatically shuts off the engine.

Important: CO Shield is an additional safety feature, not a replacement for indoor carbon monoxide alarms or safe operating practices. Always operate the generator outdoors, far from occupied buildings, with exhaust directed away from people and structures.

Intelligauge Monitoring

The Intelligauge display helps you keep track of:

• Voltage


• Frequency


• Session runtime


• Total runtime

These readings make it easier to monitor generator operation and plan routine maintenance.

Low-Oil Shutdown Protection

A low-oil shut-off sensor helps protect the engine by shutting it down when the oil level becomes too low. The generator has a listed oil capacity of 1.2 quarts and includes engine oil and an oil funnel.

Covered Outlets

The generator includes covered outlets for connecting compatible appliances and equipment.

Outlet Type	Quantity	Description
L14-30R	1	120/240V, 30A locking outlet
L14-50R	1	Listed as a 120/240V, 38A outlet in the supplied description
5-20R GFCI duplex	2	120V, 20A household duplex outlets

The supplied description lists the L14-50R outlet at 38A. Confirm the correct rating in the official manufacturer documentation before publication or use.

Natural Gas and Propane Hose Kits Included

The package includes a 25-foot natural gas hose kit with a female quick-connect fitting and a female flare-by-male NPT adapter. A 6-foot propane hose assembly is also included for compatible propane connections.

Portable Design

The included wheel kit helps make moving the generator more manageable when positioning it for suitable applications.
