The Champion Power Equipment 201493 8500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator with CO Shield is the perfect combination of versatility and convenience. Whether you need power for your home or next project, Champion Power Equipment makes powering your life more convenient than ever. The convenient electric start includes a battery, plus Cold Start Technology ensures a quick start in cold weather. Easily monitor power output and track maintenance intervals with Intelligauge, which allows you to keep track of voltage, hertz and run-time hours. Designed with a low oil shut-off switch, this unit includes 1.3-quarts of 10W-30 oil. Operate your Dual-Fuel generator right out of the box on gasoline or propane, and easily switch fuels with our patented fuel select dial that allows for safe switching between fuel sources. Using gasoline, the 458cc Champion engine produces 10,000 starting watts and 8500 running watts, and will run for 10 hours at 50% load when the 7.7-gallon fuel tank is full. It produces 9000 starting watts and 7650 running watts, and will run for 5 hours at 50% load when using a 20-pound propane tank. Also included is a 6.5-foot propane hose with a built-in regulator. With a noise level of 74 dBA from 23 feet, which is a bit louder than a vacuum, this machine can provide home backup in an outage, plus the Volt Guard built-in surge protector prevents overloads and keeps your equipment safe from spikes in voltage. Plenty of outlets are available, with a 120/240V 30A locking outlet (L14-30R), a 120/240V 35A outlet (L14-50R) as well as two 120V 20A GFCI protected household duplex outlets (5-20R). Champion's thoughtful packaging and clear directions make setup hassle free, plus the foldaway U-shaped handle makes it easy to store, while the never-flat tires in the included wheel kit make transport a cinch. Buy this EPA certified generator with confidence - Champion Support and our nationwide network of service centers will back up your purchase with a 3-year limited warranty and FREE lifetime technical support. CO Shield technology monitors the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by engine exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield detects unsafe elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine. CO Shield is not a substitute for an indoor carbon monoxide alarm or for safe operation. DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other openings. Generators must ALWAYS be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings with engine exhaust pointed away from people and buildings. Meets the requirements of ANSI/PGMA G300.Items Included: Engine Oil, Oil Funnel, Propane (LPG) Hose, Wheel Kit, Battery

Q: can u plug an rv into it

28 days ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello Rick, Yes, this generator should be fine to power an RV, though be sure you have set the ground up correctly as this unit's neutral is bonded to frame. When providing power to an RV, any appliances requiring a secured ground attached to the earth may fail. For this reason, we suggest unbonding the neutral and using a grounding rod to externally ground your generator. Please call us at 1-877-338-0999, email us at support@cpeauto.com or use our livechat feature on our website at championpowerequipment.com so we can assist. Thank you.

Q: Is this rated for high altitude use (6,000 ft)

6 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Yes, the Champion 201493 is rated for use at 6,000 ft, but you will need to install a high-altitude carburetor jet kit for optimal performance if you are running it on gasoline. While the generator can physically operate at that elevation, the thinner air at 6,000 ft requires a leaner fuel-to-air ratio to prevent engine issues like hard starting or spark plug fouling.

Good generator

Worked great. Instructions could include a few key improvements such as flipping the switches. It wouldn't work and the guide didn't say but we eventually figured it out. Pretty loud but overall kept the fridge running which is what we needed
