Description

The Champion Power Equipment 4500-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. This unit features Cold Start Technology, Extended Run Time, and an easy to read fuel gauge.

With a 0.5-quart oil capacity (included 10W-30) and a low oil shut-off sensor, this inverter operates at an ultra-quiet 61dBA 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).

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 2.3-gallon tank of gasoline is full, the 212cc Champion engine produces 4500 starting watts and 3500 running watts and will run for up to 14 hours at 25% load. When using a 20-pound propane tank, it produces 4500 starting watts and 3150 running watts and will run for up to 21 hours at 25% load.

The covered outlets in this RV Ready inverter include a 120V 29.2A RV (TT-30R), a 120V 20A household duplex outlet (5-20R), and two handy 2.1A USB ports.

The optional Parallel Kit (sold separately), with included standard 50-amp RV outlet, allows you to increase output by connecting up to two inverters. The never flat tires and fold-down 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.
