Frequently Asked Questions - DS10000EH DuroStar
How do I start the DuroStar DS10000EH generator?
Ensure the generator is on a level surface. Check oil and fuel levels. Turn the fuel valve to ON. Set the choke lever to CHOKE (if cold). Insert the key and turn to START, or use the recoil starter. Once started, gradually move the choke lever to RUN. For electric start, ensure the battery is charged.
What type of oil should I use?
Use SAE 10W-30 oil for general conditions. For hot climates, SAE 30 is recommended. The oil capacity is approximately 1.16 quarts (1.1 liters). Always check the dipstick and change oil after the first 20 hours, then every 100 hours thereafter.
How do I switch between gasoline and propane?
Make sure the engine is off and cool. Set the fuel selector switch to the desired fuel. For propane, ensure the propane tank valve is open and the hose is connected. For gasoline, ensure the tank has fuel. Then start the generator normally. It can run on either fuel, but not both simultaneously.
What is the break-in procedure?
During the first 20 hours of operation, do not apply heavy loads. Vary the load periodically. Change the oil after the first 20 hours to remove metal particles from initial wear. This ensures long engine life.
How often should I change the spark plug?
Inspect the spark plug every 100 hours of operation. Replace it every 200 hours or if it shows signs of wear or fouling. Use a spark plug with a 0.028-0.031 inch gap (0.7-0.8 mm).
Why does my generator shut off unexpectedly?
Common causes include low oil (shutdown sensor triggers), overload, or a clogged fuel filter. Check oil level first. If overloaded, reduce connected loads. If fuel filter is dirty, replace it. Also ensure the CO sensor (if equipped) has not detected carbon monoxide.
Can I run the generator in the rain?
No. Never operate the generator in rain or wet conditions to avoid electric shock. Always place it on a dry, level surface under a canopy or shelter that does not block airflow. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
What is the noise level of the DS10000EH?
The noise level is approximately 74 dBA at 25 feet, which is comparable to a vacuum cleaner. Use a muffler and place the generator away from living areas to reduce noise impact.
How do I maintain the generator during long-term storage?
Drain the fuel tank and carburetor (or run dry) to prevent gumming. Change the oil. Clean the air filter. Remove the spark plug and pour a tablespoon of oil into the cylinder, then pull the recoil slowly to coat the cylinder walls. Store in a dry, ventilated area.
What size circuit breaker do I need for the generator?
The generator has built-in breakers: a 40-amp main breaker and individual 20-amp and 30-amp breakers for outlets. For connecting to a house panel, use a transfer switch rated for the generator's output. Do not exceed the rated current of the outlets.
