A powerful companion for your next camping trip or weekend project, this generator can also provide plenty of backup power for your essentials during an outage. Power up with Champion's reliable recoil start, plus Cold Start Technology ensures a quick start in cold weather. Designed for safety with convenient push-to-reset circuit breakers, a low oil shut-off sensor plus an included oil funnel for easy changes, this unit has a 1.2-quart oil capacity (recommended 10W-30). The reliable 389cc single-cylinder OHV Champion engine produces 6875 starting watts and 5500 running watts, and will run for up to 10 hours at 50% load when the 7.7-gallon tank of gasoline is full. This generator is EPA certified. 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.
