The Champion 201223 is a portable tri-fuel generator that runs on gasoline, propane (LPG) or natural gas (NG). A Fuel Select dial lets the user choose the fuel source. It is RV ready and includes a 25-foot natural gas hose kit.
On gasoline, the 224cc Champion engine produces 5000 starting watts and 4000 running watts. A full 5-gallon tank runs for 14 hours at 50% load. On a 20-pound propane tank, it produces 4500 starting watts and 3600 running watts, and runs for 10.5 hours at 50% load. On natural gas, it produces 4050 starting watts and 3240 running watts.
The electric start includes a battery. Cold Start Technology supports quick starts in cold weather. The CO Shield system is a carbon monoxide sensor with automatic shutoff. A low oil shut-off sensor is also built in. The generator comes with engine oil, so only fuel is needed. It is not for sale in California.
