Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Can I run this generator indoors or in my garage?
No. Like all generators, the Champion 4500W Dual Fuel Inverter must ALWAYS be used outdoors, far away from occupied buildings, with the engine exhaust pointed away from people and structures. Even with the CO Shield auto-shutoff system, generators produce carbon monoxide - a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. CO Shield is a safety backup, not a substitute for safe operation. Always run this unit outdoors with plenty of ventilation.
What is the difference between gasoline and propane performance?
On gasoline, the generator delivers 4500 starting watts and 3650 running watts with a 22-hour runtime at 25% load on a full 4.02-gallon tank. On propane, it delivers 4500 starting watts and 3285 running watts with a 21-hour runtime at 25% load using a 20-lb tank. Gasoline provides slightly higher running wattage, while propane offers the convenience of longer storage life and easy connection to a standard BBQ-style tank.
Is the parallel kit included?
No, the parallel kit is sold separately (Champion Model #100319 - 50A ParaLINK Parallel Kit). With the kit, you can connect two compatible Champion inverters together to double your power output - useful for larger RVs or when powering more equipment simultaneously.
What outlets does this generator have?
The generator includes a 120V 30A RV outlet (TT-30R), a 120V 20A duplex household outlet (5-20R), and a 12V regulated automotive-style outlet. All outlets are covered for weather protection. Note there are no GFCI receptacles on this model.
Does this generator require assembly?
Minimal assembly is required - you will need to add the engine oil (included) before first use. The unit ships mostly assembled. Refer to the included Quick Start Guide or Operator's Manual for full setup instructions before first startup.
How is this generator shipped?
This generator ships via standard ground freight due to its size and weight (92.6 lb.). Please email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for a specific delivery ETA and any questions about the delivery process.
