will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

hazard-related (e.g., messages relating to property damage).

200911 - 3550W PORTABLE GENERATOR IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Cancer and Reproductive Harm – www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

DANGER

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless,

odorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide will

cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death. If you start to feel

dizzy or weak, get to fresh air immediately.

OPERATE GENERATOR OUTDOORS ONLY IN A WELL

VENTILATED AREA AND POINT EXHAUST AWAY.

DO NOT operate the generator inside any building, including

garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or

compartment, including the generator compartment of a

recreational vehicle.

DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a conﬁned area through

windows, doors, vents or other openings.

DANGER

Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison

you cannot see or smell.

NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and

windows are open.

ONLY use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors,

and vents.

Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in

carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up according to the

manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING

Although the generator contains a spark arrester, maintain

a minimum distance of 5 ft. (1.5 m) from dry vegetation to

prevent ﬁres.

DANGER

Operate equipment with guards in place.

Rotating parts can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing and/or

accessories. Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can

result.

Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

DO NOT wear loose-ﬁtting clothing, dangling drawstrings or

items that could become caught.

DANGER

Generator produces powerful voltage.

DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.

DO NOT use electrical cords that are worn, damaged or frayed.

Use only Champion electrical cords for proper application.

DO NOT operate generator in wet weather.

DO NOT allow children or unqualiﬁed persons to operate or

service the generator.

Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in damp areas and

areas containing conductive material such as metal decking.

Connection to your home’s electrical system requires a

listed 30A transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician

and approved by the local authority having jurisdiction. The

connection must isolate the generator from the utility power

and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes.

WARNING

Do not use generator for medical and life support uses.

In case of emergency, call 911 immediately.

NEVER use this product to power life support devices or life

support appliances.

NEVER use this product to power medical devices or medical

appliances.

Inform your electricity provider immediately if you or anyone in

your household depends on electrical equipment to live.

Inform your electrical provider immediately if a loss of power

would cause you or anyone in your household to experience a

medical emergency.

200911 - 3550W PORTABLE GENERATOR IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Spark from removed spark plug wire can result in ﬁre or

electrical shock.

When servicing the generator:

Disconnect the spark plug wire and place it where it cannot

contact the plug or any other metal object.

DO NOT check for spark with the plug removed.

Use only approved spark plug testers.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on

contact. Combustible material can catch ﬁre on contact.

DO NOT touch hot surfaces.

Avoid contact with hot exhaust gases.

Allow equipment to cool before touching.

Maintain at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to

ensure adequate cooling.

Maintain at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from combustible

materials.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull hand and arm

towards the engine faster than you can let go. Unintentional

startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or

laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could

result.

When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until

resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

DO NOT start or stop the engine with electrical devices

plugged in and turned on.

CAUTION

Exceeding the generator’s running capacity can damage the

generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

DO NOT overload the generator.

DO NOT tamper with the governed speed.

DO NOT modify the generator in any way.

CAUTION

Start the generator and allow the engine to stabilize before

connecting electrical loads.

Connect electrical equipment in the off position, and then turn

them on for operation.

Turn electrical equipment off and disconnect before stopping

the generator.

CAUTION

Improper treatment or use of the generator can damage it,

shorten its life or void the warranty.

Use the generator only for intended uses.

Operate only on level surfaces.

DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust,

or dirt.

DO NOT allow any material to block the cooling slots.

If connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect

them from the generator.

DO NOT use the generator if:

–Electrical output is lost

–Equipment sparks, smokes or emits ﬂames

–Equipment vibrates excessively

200911 - 3550W PORTABLE GENERATOR IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Always turn the generator off and let cool for a minimum of two

minutes before removing the gasoline cap. Afterwards, loosen

gasoline cap to relieve pressure from the gasoline 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 fuel container to transfer the

gasoline 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 make certain that the gasoline cap, air ﬁlter, spark plug,

fuel lines and exhaust system are properly secured, connected

and in place.

Always allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before attempting

to start the engine.

Make certain that the generator is resting ﬁrmly on level ground.

When operating the generator:

DO NOT move or tip the generator during operation.

DO NOT tip the generator or allow fuel or oil to spill.

When transporting or servicing the generator:

Make certain that the fuel valve is in the OFF position and the

gasoline tank is empty.

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 or gasoline near furnaces, water heaters,

or any other appliances that produce heat or have automatic

ignitions.

WARNING

Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel

item that is broken, cut, torn or damaged.
