The Champion Power Equipment 201175 8500-Watt Inverter Generator with CO Shield is ultra-quiet and ideal for camping, tailgating, powering items around the RV or providing backup for your essentials. Champion's EZ Start Dial makes getting started quick and easy. Featuring Cold Start Technology, Extended Run Time, Electric Start, and an easy to read fuel gauge. With a 1.2-quart oil capacity (included 10W-30) and a low oil shut-off sensor, this inverter operates at an ultra-quiet 61 dBA from 23 feet, which is about as loud as normal speech. The no tool access panel and oil drain tube allow for easy maintenance. Operate your Dual Fuel inverter right out of the box on gasoline or propane, and easily switch fuels with the EZ Start dial. When the 5.33-gallon tank of gasoline is full, the 420cc Champion engine produces 8500 starting watts and 7000 running watts and will run for up to 14 hours at 25% load. When using a 20-pound propane tank, it produces 8500 starting watts and 6300 running watts and will run for up to 12 hours at 25% load. Our Quick Touch Panel offers fast access to all your controls. The Intelligauge monitors voltage, frequency and operating hours with ease, while Economy Mode monitors power consumption in real time to reduce engine wear and tear. As the electrical load is reduced, the inverter reduces engine speed, providing quieter operation, extended engine life and higher fuel economy. The covered outlets included are a 120/240V 29.2 A outlet (L14-50R), a 120/240V 30A locking outlet (L14-30R), two 120V 20A GFCI household duplex outlets (5-20R), a 12V automotive-style outlet. Buy this EPA certified inverter 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 G300-2018.Items Included: Engine Oil, USB Adapter, Oil Funnel, Propane (LPG) Hose, Wheel Kit, Battery

Q&As

1 - 4 of 4 Questions

Q: Does this need a cover if it is raining

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Thank you for your question. We recommend using a Storm Shield for your unit when operating in inclement weather conditions such as rain, snow, or similar elements. Our Storm Shields are designed with natural airflow to allow safe operation and maintenance while the cover is in place. They are capable of withstanding up to 70 mph winds, 12 inches of rain per hour, and up to 18 inches of snow per day, without triggering the CO sensor on your unit. This will help protect the electrical components while ensuring your unit continues to provide power. If you have further questions or would like more information on your options, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team at 1-877-338-0999, email us at support@cpeauto.com, or message our live chat on our website.

Q: Can you convert this to run off natural gas at home so it doesn’t run out during a long power outage?

2 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Unfortunately, this machine will not run on natural gas. It is designed to run on propane or gasoline only. We cannot recommend or encourage the modification of the generator in this fashion as it will void your emissions warranty. We have been advised by environmental agencies that unless we have certified the emissions after conversion with them, we can no longer make the recommendation. The conversion company will have this responsibility. We are very sorry as we understand how common of a request this is. Sadly, ever changing environmental restrictions are being placed on manufacturers and our hands are tied. Thank you.

Q: Since this is a 240/120V unit, normally the total load would be expected to be split 1/2 and 1/2 on each 120V leg. How much imbalance is OK on this unit. Can the loads be split 25% / 75%, or even 0, 100% on the individual legs?

2 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Receptacles L14-30 and 14-50R can provide 120 or 240 volts. Remember that the generator will only ever put out what is asked of it. So, if you plug in a load that requires 240 volts, it will give off that. In regard to the household outlets on the control panel, they are rated for 120 volts only. Both receptacles do not combine to produce 240 bolts. They will only ever produce 120 volts. You can utilize all of the receptacles on the control panel at the same time, making sure not to overload the generator, as overloading can potentially damage the generator and any appliances attached to it. You can vary load sizes between the outlets to achieve the rating running wattages. Thank you.

Very Pleased

24 days ago
I’ve only had the generated for a few weeks. Reviews from such a short duration of use are not as significant as one from months to years of experience of use are - so take that into consideration. After a lot of research I settled on the Champion brand and then the 201175 model based on the power I needed, the reviews and Champion’s reputation for quality in manufacturing and service. Like many of the other reviews, it was very easy to assemble, add oil and fire up. Using propane there was no hesitation to start, which is what I expected both from the pull start and starter motor. The unit is well thought out, sturdy (heavy) and easy to use. I purchased it primarily for home backup power during electrical outages so I immediately hooked it up to my home’s backup system and ran it for five hours for testing and break-in (2- 2.5 hrs periods). I’m very happy with the results. It worked better than I expected. I ran more circuits than I thought I could and you could hardly tell the difference in engine RPM’s when more power was needed. I had a lot of lights turned on, ran toasters and toaster oven (not at the same time), garage door openers and other needed circuits without any issues and barely a change in rpm’s. The power usage meter only went up to two bars. The noise level was very reasonable and I used a lot less propane than I anticipated. I’m guessing the run time on propane as estimated by Champion are fairly accurate. The first oil change was easy and very user friendly with the attached dedicated drain hose that came with the system. The unit is on the bigger side but fit through my 3’ man door easily. It is heavy, so carting it around on rocks or loose soil would be a challenge. I tested the battery after the break in and it’s getting fully charged as expected but I will be watching the battery as they seem to be the weak link with generator with staters. I have a battery tender I will use if the battery weakens. Overall the 210175 has performed as expected but the real test comes down the road in how well it holds up and what type of service I receive if needed. I have great hopes for Champion because I bought the 201175 based on their reputation and service.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Reliable, dependable, durable.

Just bought about a week ago. This is my second Champion generator. The first got us through a 10 day power outage with gas. It ran daily, started easily, and absolutely made our lives easier during that period. It was so good that we got this one - larger, and DUAL FUEL! Just finished the break in procedures and it started easily an ran like a champ. Thanks again Champion!
