Operation

12 Rev 73531i-20100609 E

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads.

Never start or stop the generator with

electrical devices plugged in or turned

on.

2. Let the generator run at no-load for

several minutes to stabilize internal

temperatures of the engine and

generator.

3. Turn the engine switch/fuel valve to the

“Off” position.

4. Allow the generator to cool down

completely to room temperature

5. Turn the fuel cap lever vent to the “Off”

position after the generator has cooled

down completely.

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 extra burst 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.

Power Management

Use the following formula to convert voltage

and amperage to watts:

Volts x 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 stabilize.

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

Overload Operation

The overload indicator light will turn on

when the load exceeds 1750W. If the load

exceeds 1900W, the light will blink and cut

power to the receptacles. To recover the

power, you must shut off the engine, wait 5

seconds, and restart the generator.

Parallel Operation

Two Champion model 73531i generators can

be operated in parallel to increase the total

available electrical power to 3000 watts. A

Champion model 73500i 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 and operation of the connected

generators are provided in the parallel kit

Owner’s Manual and Operating Instructions.

Please note the following important

requirements:

1. The two generators may be stacked one

on top of the other by aligning the lower

pads and upper pockets at each corner

of the generators.

2. Disconnect or turn off all electrical loads

from both generators.

3. The ECON switch must be in the same

position on both generators.

4. Before starting the engines, connect the

AC power outlet cables, the control

cables and the ground cables to both

generators. Follow the instructions

supplied with the parallel kit.

5. Do not disconnect any cables after the

engines have been started.

6. Start both engines and observe the green

output indicator light on both generator

panels.

7. Connect and turn on the electrical

devices.

8. The total electrical load must not exceed

3000 watts.

9. Follow the instructions on the previous

page for turning off the generators.
