Power & Run Time

The Champion 201407

The Champion 201407 houses a 459 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, which provides 120/240V, consumes gasoline and delivers a running wattage of 9,000W along with a peak wattage of 11,000W.

Featuring a noise rating of 64 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a normal conversation), the inverter generator is equipped with both a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism and a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included) for starting. To add further convenience, the 201407 can be remotely started (key fob included).

Thanks to a fuel capacity of 6.08 gallons, the 201407 can operate for up to 15 hours with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.41 GPH).

The <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the 201407 ensures a clean sine wave output, providing a secure power source for your sensitive electronics through its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel provides the upcoming 6 AC outlets:

Furthermore, it showcases 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which charging your batteries is made easy.

With its 14-50R outlet, this Champion unit is RV-ready for owners with a 50-amp service in their RVs. In addition, with its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the 201407 is configured to be transfer switch ready, allowing straightforward connection to your breaker box to supply backup power to your home during outages.

Portability

As the Champion 201407 is an inverter generator, its encased design (L28.3 x W28.8 x H27.5 in) offers more aesthetics than a conventional, open frame product. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.

While weighing 200 lbs, the generator is classified as 'portable,' indicating its mobility, albeit its heftiness may limit portability in specific situations. However, its challenging mobility is solved by its set of wheels (⌀9") and its folding handle, which will ease its displacement, once it is on the floor.

Features

The 201407's control panel

For easy status and activity monitoring of the 201407, its control panel integrates a digital Intelligauge data center, offering insights into the frequency, voltage, lifetime run hours and power output.

In addition to this info, a light indicator allows you to instantly see if the oil level is too low.

Benefiting from its built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator allows for easy and immediate gas level inspections.

From a security standpoint, the generator is furnished with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), ensuring peace of mind during operation.

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.

Along the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), useful for starting the generator right away, the Champion 201407's package also includes these accessories: tool kit, funnel, oil and key fob.
