Power & Run Time

The Champion 201169

The Champion 201169 delivers 120/240V and benefits from a tri-fuel technology that allows it to run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When gasoline-powered, it enjoys a running wattage of 6,500W and a peak wattage of 8,125W. When propane-powered, it benefits from 6,000 rated watts and 7,500 peak watts. Its natural gas operation offers 5,500W of rated wattage and 6,875W of starting wattage.

The generator, rated for a noise of 74 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a dishwasher), provides flexibility in starting, offering both a simple traditional pull-start mechanism and a practical and straightforward electric starter (battery included).

The 201169, with a fuel capacity of 8.5 gallons, reaches a run time of around 12 hours at 50% load utilizing gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.71 GPH). Alternatively, it can reach a run time of around 6.5 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.72 GPH) with propane.

Due to the high THD (<20%) of the 201169, it is advised against using it for powering sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

The control panel provides the upcoming 5 AC outlets:

Because the 201169 is equipped with a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: it can power your home during a power outage, as it can be easily connected to your breaker box to power your household.

Portability

Measuring L28.7 x W27.5 x H26.1 in, the classic open frame construction of the Champion 201169 provides stability while enabling convenient maintenance access to components and adequate air cooling. The featured design is ideal for the outdoors and all tough environments.

As the generator's weight is 195.1 pounds, manually moving it or transporting it may be challenging, despite the fact that it is technically considered 'portable' (movable). Despite the restricted maneuverability, its wheel kit (⌀9.5") and its folding handle provides a solution, allowing for convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.

Features

The 201169's control panel

The 201169's status and activity may be monitored conveniently via the control panel, as it features an Intelligauge meter, offering voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours readings.

The fuel level of the generator can be determined quickly, easily, and conveniently with the help of its built-in fuel gauge.

As far as security is concerned, the generator can be used with a peace of mind, as it features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off.

The unit also benefits from the CO Shield™ technology, which monitors accumulation of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) gas produced by the engine's exhaust when the generator is running. If CO Shield™ detects elevated levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine and illuminates a red LED.

Besides the classic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to get you promptly started, the Champion 201169 also comes with some accessories: funnel, oil, natural gas hose with NPT adapter and propane hose are included.
