Description

The Champion Power Equipment 201223 4000-Watt Tri Fuel Portable Natural Gas Ready Generator with CO Shield® is a reliable source of power with the flexibility you need. When you are not running your generator on natural gas, you also have the option of operating it on gasoline or propane. The ability to operate your generator on three types of fuel out of the box makes this one of the most versatile generators on the market. The Fuel Select dial allows you to safely select gasoline, propane (LPG), or natural gas (NG) as your fuel source. Using gasoline, the 224cc Champion engine produces 5000 starting watts and 4000 running watts, and will run for 14 hours at 50% load when the 5-gallon fuel tank is full. When using a 20-pound propane tank, it produces 4500 starting watts and 3600 running watts, and will run for 10.5 hours at 50% load. Using natural gas, the engine produces 4050 starting watts and 3240 running watts. To connect this generator to your home’s natural gas source, this generator includes a 25-foot NG hose kit, which includes a female quick connect end, a female flare fitting end and an NPT male adapter. The electric start includes a battery, plus Cold Start Technology ensures quick cold- weather starts. With a 0.6-quart oil capacity, this unit has a low oil shut- off sensor and includes engine oil – all you need is fuel! Easily monitor power output and track maintenance intervals with Intelligauge, which allows you to keep track of voltage, frequency, session run time, and total run time to easily monitor output and track maintenance intervals. This generator has a noise level of 68 dBA from 23 feet, which is a bit louder than a vacuum. The covered outlets include a 120V 30A locking outlet (L5-30R), a 120V 30A RV outlet (TT-30R) and a 120V 20A duplex household outlet (5-20R). 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.

Great value for the money works well multiple fuel sources
Set name: 8125W Tri Fuel
Very easy to use definitely reliable perform very well. It is a little noisy, but not severe. I love the fact that it has multiple fuel sources. Strong enough to support my house during the power outages we’ve recently recently had.

A fantastic mid-sized portable backup generator
Set name: 8125W Tri Fuel
I have not yet used this in a power outage situation, but in my general setup and couple of trial usages could not have been smoother. It comes with absolutely everything you need, other than a couple 1/2" (or 12mm) box wrenches to attach the wheels, and your choice of fuel. Test 1 was a propane tank and using the battery start, it fired up immediately. I didn't max out the load by any stretch but this is about the same noise level as a much smaller pull-start gasoline-only unit I had previously for over a decade. The natural gas option is a game changer. I am in the process of running a new 3/4" line for my permanent installation with a switching panel to isolate it from city power in an emergency situation. It runs a small mini split a/c and the fridge, plus small lights, fans, etc ... No more clamoring to fill 5-gal gasoline cans before storm season. And for "mobile" use, the simplicity of propane really is more handy than I had expected. Love love love it! ... show more

Fantastic generator
Set name: 125000W Tri Fuel
We bought this to replace our older generator. It was easy to set up, love the push button start! You can also run it on either gas, propane or natural gas. I love having the option of using propane if I am low on gas! I lose power periodically and love the ease of use!!!

Pleased so far
Set name: 5000W Tri Fuel
Received the box with all parts. It took about 30 minutes start to finish to remove the shipping brackets, install the wheels and front stands, attach battery wiring and fill with oil. I hooked a 20lb bottle of propane up and it successfully started pretty quick. I let it run for 20 min with no load. In my opinion, it ran quieter than I expected. The only reason I didn’t give the generator 5 stars is because the metal tubing frame at the bottom was slightly bent near the wheel bracing. The wheel installed fine but it’s direction of turn is not exactly straight. I can live with that and pleased overall. ... show more

Good machine
Set name: 8125W Tri Fuel
This generator is a good machine. I’m using the NG option but also ran for a bit on gasoline. It handles the load well and is very straight forward to operate. Starts east - the electric start option is nice to have. No issues so far!

Assembly Issues, the operator panel fell off.
Set name: 125000W Tri Fuel
It took a while to get the transfer switch, cords, and adapters I wanted to provide power incase of an outage. There is a 5 hour recommended break-in period under varying load conditions. For the break-in I used an electric dryer and a couple other appliances. Drying clothes causes the dryer element to cycle thus varying the load. ABOUT AN HOUR INTO THE RUN THE WHOLE OPERATOR PANEL CAME LOOSE. ALL BUT ONE OF THE 4mm NUTS HOLDING IT IN PLACE WERE LAYING ON THE CONCRETE. After putting everything back together I was able to finish the break-in run period. Sure hope that is the last issue with the assembly. Somebody got into a hurry. ... show more
