Description

The Champion Power Equipment 5500-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 and Extended Run Time, the reliable 224cc Champion engine produces 5500 starting watts and 4000 running watts, and runs for 20 hours at 25% load when the 3.7-gallon fuel tank is full. With a full 20lb propane tank it produces 5500 starting watts and 3600 running watts, and runs for 15 hours at 25% load.

Refueling in the dark is a cinch thanks to Fuel Fill Assist LED, a flip-up LED to illuminate the gasoline fill area.

With a 0.6-quart oil capacity (included 5W-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.

Confidently connect your sensitive electronics since this inverter produces Clean Power (less than 3% THD).

Our Quick Touch Panel offers fast access to all your controls, plus the built-in LED lights make it easy to use in the dark. The Intelligauge with Power Meter 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 in this RV Ready inverter include a 120V 30A L5-30R locking outlet with an RV adapter plug (TT-30R), two 120V 20A household duplex outlets (5-20R), and a 12V automotive-style outlet.

The optional Parallel Kit (sold separately), with included standard 50-amp RV outlet, allows you to increase output by connecting up to two 5500-watt or similar inverters. The never flat tires and new telescoping handle 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 G300-2018.
