Description

The Champion Power Equipment 201078 8000-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator 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.

Thanks to our patented CO Shield® technology, you can be sure that you and your family are protected from the dangers of carbon monoxide. Our CO Shield® sensor tests itself automatically and lasts up to a decade. If operated in inappropriate locations, the UL-recognized sensor will alert and shut off the generator automatically before dangerous levels of carbon monoxide accumulate. This indicates the unit should be moved to an open-air environment with plenty of circulation. This unit meets the ANSI/PGMA G300-2018 requirements to ensure the highest level of safety and performance.

The convenient electric start includes a battery, plus Cold Start Technology ensures a quick start in cold weather. In addition, your generator includes a power-extending 25-foot extension cord so you can split 30 amps of power from one cord to four household outlets.

Easily monitor power output and track maintenance intervals with Intelligauge, which allows you to keep track of voltage, frequency and run-time hours. Designed with a low oil shut-off sensor, this unit includes 1.2-quarts of 5W-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 459cc Champion engine produces 10000 starting watts and 8000 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 7200 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™ protects your generator from electrical voltage spikes.

All the outlets have covers for protection and include 120V 30A locking outlet (L5-30R), a 120/240V 30A locking outlet (L14-30R) as well as four 120V 20A GFCI protected household outlets (5-20R).
