Questions and Answers for Champion Power Equipment 10,625/8500-Watt Electric Start Gasoline and Propane Powered Dual Fuel Portable Generator with CO Shield

A:  Champion Power Equipment (CPE) is a US owned and operated company. All of our products are designed and engineered at our R&D facility in Milwaukee, WI, with assembly performed in China to our exact specifications. In June of 2020, CPE opened its first assembly plant in Jackson, TN, USA. Thank you.

A:  This is a standard portable generator and not an inverter. Thank you.

A:  Gasoline usually has a longer run time over propane. Thank you.

A:  Unfortunately, this machine will not run on natural gas. It is designed to run on propane or gasoline only. We cannot recommend or encourage the modification of the generator in this fashion as it will void your emissions warranty. We have been advised by environmental agencies that unless we have certified the emissions after conversion with them, we can no longer make the recommendation. The conversion company will have this responsibility. We are very sorry as we understand how common of a request this is. Sadly, ever changing environmental restrictions are being placed on manufacturers and our hands are tied. Thank you.

A:  The wheelbase is 27.4 inches. Thank you.

A:  We first recommend knowing how much wattage the welder requires. A simple way of determining wattage is by multiplying its volts by amps (V x A = W). You can also contact the welder's manufacturer for specific wattage needs. Thank you.

A:  We recommend a cord like this to connect the generator to your home's transfer switch: https://www.championpowerequipment.com/product/100395-25-ft-30a-250v-generator-power-cord/

A:  The noise rating is 68 dBA. Thank you.

A:  The generator will charge the battery during operation. Thank you.
