Note on the 30 A outlet. The 30 A receptacle on this machine is a locking outlet, not the TT-30R an RV cord plugs into. If you are powering a coach you will need an adapter, or a model with a proper RV receptacle — ask and we will point you at one.
Altitude — this matters more than the sticker suggests
Champion's own operator's manual for this machine states that engine power and generator output are reduced by about 3.5% for every 1,000 ft of elevation above sea level. That sentence is in the manual, not on the product page, and it is the number that decides whether this generator does what you bought it for.
- Denver, ~5,280 ft: about 18% off — roughly 7,337 W instead of 9,000 W.
- Colorado Springs, ~6,035 ft: about 21% off — roughly 7,099 W instead of 9,000 W.
- Monument / Palmer Divide, ~7,000 ft: about 24% off — roughly 6,795 W instead of 9,000 W.
- Leadville / high passes, ~9,000 ft: about 32% off — roughly 6,165 W instead of 9,000 W.
Read this before you buy it for the Front Range. Champion publishes a high-altitude main jet for this model, but it covers 3000 ft.-6000 ft. (914 m-1829 m) — and Colorado Springs is 6,035 ft. Champion offers no jetting above that band for this particular unit. It will still run, with the power loss in the table above, but you would be outside the range Champion supports. If this generator is going to live above 6,000 ft, talk to us first: there are models in this same line that Champion does jet for your elevation, and we would rather sell you one of those.
One warning worth repeating. Champion is explicit that a high-altitude jet must not be run below its minimum altitude — “Operation using the alternative main jet at elevations lower than the recommended minimum altitude can damage the engine.” If you take the machine back down to sea level, the standard jet goes back in.

The Champion Power Equipment 201423 11,000-Watt Tri-Fuel Portable Natural Gas Ready Inverter Generator with CO Shield® is designed with your safety and convenience in mind. A cost-effective solution that delivers power and peace of mind, this generator will provide all the backup power you need for power outages and emergencies. For projects, the 459cc Champion single-cylinder OHV engine has what it takes to handle a multitude of power tools and large equipment you need to get the job done. Champion has convenience covered. Starting and stopping your generator from up to 80 feet away with the wireless remote key fob is a snap. No matter what you’re powering, you’ll enjoy the on/off push-button power with electric start, battery included. The fuel select dial allows you to safely select gasoline, propane (LPG), or natural gas (NG) as your fuel source. Using gasoline, the 459cc Champion engine produces 11,000 starting watts and 9000 running watts, and will run for 15 hours at 25% load when the 6.08-gallon fuel tank is full. When using a 20-pound propane tank with included 6-foot propane hose assembly, it produces 11,000 starting watts and 8100 running watts, and will run for 8 hours at 25% load. Designed with a low oil shut-off switch, this unit has a 1.2-quart oil capacity (recommended 10W-30). Confidently connect your sensitive electronics since this inverter produces Clean Power (less than 3% THD). All the outlets have covers to protect them from moisture and dirt and include two 120V 20A GFCI protected duplex household outlets (5-20R), a 120/240V 30A locking outlet (L14-30R), a 120/240V 37.5A outlet (14-50R), and a 12V regulated automotive-style outlet. The Intelligauge with Power Meter monitors voltage, frequency and operating hours with ease, while Economy Mode monitors power consumption in real time to reduce engine wear. As the electrical load is reduced, the inverter reduces engine speed, providing quieter operation, extended engine life and higher fuel economy. This generator is EPA certified. Buy with confidence - Champion Support and our nationwide network of service centers will back your purchase up 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.
