ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

IDENTIFY/SELECT STANDBY CIRCUITS
IDENTIFY THE BASIC NEEDS
It is very important to understand what items the home owner wants powered by the HSB during a utility failure. The selection of these items will indicate which circuits will be selected for connection to the ATS so that they are powered by the HSB. Unforeseen power outages can last from minutes to days, so it is important to focus circuit selections on those that power household items that are deemed essential and within the output capability of the HSB
An authorized or certified dealer or electrician can come to your home and measure the loads with a clamp-on AMP meter which would provide accurate load demands for each circuit tested.
Once you have identified the customer needs, you can properly size the HSB by referring to the sizing guide provided by Champion, www.championpowerequipment.com or call Champion 1-877-338-0999.
Circuits must be protected by the same size breaker. For example, a 15 amp 120 volt circuit in the ATS will replace a 15 amp 120 volt circuit in the main utility distribution panel. When tied together or backed up, the breakers must be the same size.

SURGE PROTECTION
! CAUTION
Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.
Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable appliances use components that are designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
1. Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the outlets feeding your sensitive equipment. Surge suppressors come in single or multi-outlet styles. They're designed to protect against virtually all short-duration voltage fluctuations.

· Engine Control Module and LED indicators
· ATS Module and LED indicators
· Battery Charger and LED indicators
· Exterior fault code indicator LED on the backside of the HSB
· ATS operation
· Exercise scheduled time of operation
· Scheduled Maintenance
· Fill out and provide the customer a copy of the HSB, ATS model & serial number reference. This information is extremely important for part purchases and service information, these numbers are specific to each HSB and ATS.
· Fill out and provide the customer a copy of the ATS back-up circuits.
· Fill out the Circuit Label inside the ATS.
It's always a good business practice to place business cards in the Owner's and Installation manuals and place dealer stickers on the HSB and ATS for the customer's reference.

NOTICE
By law it is required in many states to have a Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector in operating condition in your home. Carbon Monoxide detector(s) must be installed and maintained indoors according to the manufacturer's instructions. A CO monitor is an electric device that detects hazardous levels of CO. When there is a buildup of CO, the monitor will alert the occupants by flashing a visual light indicator and an audible alarm. Smoke alarms cannot detect CO gas.
CO gas is odorless, colorless and tasteless and is unlikely to be noticed until a person is overcome. Standby generators emit carbon monoxide (CO) gas in the engine exhaust.

CHAMPION POWER EQUIPMENT, INC. (CPE) AND THE UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AGENCY (U.S. EPA)
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with U.S. EPA emission regulations.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The US EPA AND CPE are pleased to explain the Federal Emission Control Systems Warranty on your 2023 small off-road engine (SORE) and engine powered equipment. New engines and equipment must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet U.S. EPA regulations for small off-road engines (SORE). CPE warrants the emission control system on your small off-road engine (SORE) and equipment for the period of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your equipment.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter and fuel lines. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exits, CPE will repair your small off-road engine (SORE) at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emission control system is warranted for two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If, during the warranty period, an emission related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part will be repaired or replaced by CPE.
OWNER WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the small off-road engine (SORE) owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Owner's Manual. CPE recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine (SORE), but CPE cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the small off-road engine (SORE) owner, you should however be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if your small, off-road engine (SORE) or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine (SORE) to an Authorized CPE service outlet or alternate service outlet as described in (3)(f.) below, CPE dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, Ca. as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System (ECS) Warranty Coverage. 1. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1997 and later model year small off-road engines (SORE). The ECS Warranty Period shall
begin on the date the new engine or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser, and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter. 2. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE CPE warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent purchaser that each of its small off-road engines (SORE) is:
2a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to U.S. EPA emissions standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts.
2b. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer's application for certification for a period of two years.
3. THE WARRANTY ON EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS:
3a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection "d" below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
3b. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as necessary", shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
3c. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner's Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection "d" below. Any such emissionsrelated part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty, shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
3d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
3e. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a part covered by the ECS Warranty is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
3f. CPE shall pay for covered emissions warranty repairs at non-authorized service outlets under the following circumstances:
i. The service is required in a population center with a population over 100,000 according to U.S. Census 2000 without a CPE Authorized Service Outlet AND
ii.The service is required more than 100 miles from a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. The 100 mile limitation does not apply in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wyoming.
3g. CPE shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused by a failure under warranty of an emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
3h. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
3i. Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS Warranty maintenance or repair and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce CPE's warranty obligation.
3j. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a CPE engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. CPE shall not be liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a CPE engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or modified part.
