Frequently Asked Questions - XP15000EH DuroMax

What type of oil does the XP15000EH use?

The recommended oil is SAE 10W-30. Use about 54 fl. oz (1.6 L) of high-quality detergent oil. Change oil after the first 20 hours and every 50 hours thereafter. Check oil level before each use.

Can I run the generator on both gasoline and propane?

Yes, the XP15000EH is a dual-fuel generator. Use the fuel select switch to choose between gasoline (GAS) and propane (LPG). Make sure to turn off the gasoline valve when using propane and vice versa. Note: Running wattage is slightly lower on propane (11,400W vs 12,000W).

How do I start the generator using gasoline?

1. Turn breaker off. 2. Open gas valve. 3. Close choke (pull out). 4. Set fuel switch to GAS. 5. Turn key to START (crank for no more than 5 seconds). 6. Once running, push choke in. 7. Turn breaker on. Refer to manual for detailed steps.

What is the surge wattage and why is it important?

Surge wattage is the maximum power the generator can supply for a short time to start motors or compressors. For the XP15000EH, surge is 15,000W on gasoline and 14,250W on propane. Ensure the total starting watts of your appliances do not exceed the surge rating.

How often should I change the oil?

Change oil after the first 20 hours, then every 50 hours or every 3 months, whichever comes first. Use SAE 10W-30 and dispose of old oil properly at an auto parts store.

Is the generator safe to use in wet conditions?

No, do not use the generator in rain or wet conditions. Risk of electrocution. Use only in dry areas with proper ventilation. If necessary, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) with extension cords in damp locations.

What type of spark plug does the XP15000EH need?

Use DENSO 5357 spark plugs. The engine has two spark plugs (one per cylinder). Gap them to 0.7-0.8 mm (0.028-0.031 in). Replace every 100 hours or if damaged.

How do I store the generator for a long period?

1. Turn off breaker and let generator cool. 2. Run it with fuel valve off until it stalls. 3. Drain the fuel tank and carburetor bowl. 4. Add 2 tbsp oil into spark plug hole and pull recoil once. 5. Remove battery and keep on a tender. Store in dry, ventilated area.

What does the AVR do?

The Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) maintains stable voltage output. It works with carbon brushes. If voltage fluctuates or drops, inspect the AVR and brushes. Replacement is described in the manual.

Can I connect the generator to my house?

Yes, but only through a transfer switch installed by a qualified electrician. Never plug directly into a wall outlet (backfeeding). This can cause electrocution to utility workers. Use heavy-duty extension cords for portable use.

1. Attach grounding wire

a. Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut against a grounding wire.

b. Connect the other end to a copper or brass grounding rod that's driven into the earth.

A generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire.

Close-up of a mechanical clamp or bracket with a metal rod inserted, set against a grassy background (no text or symbols visible)

Grounding codes can vary by location. Please contact a local electrician to check the grounding regulations for your area.

WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electrocution.

High Altitude Operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions. High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your generator at altitudes above 5,000 feet (1,500 meters), have a dealer perform this carburetor modification. This engine, when operated at high altitude with the carburetor modifications for high altitude use, will meet each emission standard throughout its useful life. Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000-foot (300-meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.

When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air/fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) with a modified carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage.

Close-up of a hand holding a white plastic cup, with a control panel visible in the background (no text or symbols on the cup or background)

1. Check the oil

The generator is equipped with an automatic shutoff to protect it from damage due to low oil. Nonetheless, you should check the oil level of the engine before each use to ensure that the engine crankcase has a sufficient amount.

To check the oil level:

a. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.

b. Remove dipstick.

c. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the stick.

d. Insert the dipstick completely back into its hole in the engine case. the pull it out again. There should now be oil on the stick. If there is no oil on the stick, or oil only at the very end of the stick, you should add oil until the engine crankcase is filled (see "Adding Oil" portion of the "Maintenance" section).

e. Be sure to replace the dipstick when finished checking oil.

NOTE: The oil capacity for this generator is 54 fl. oz (1.6L).

Step 2 - Check the Gas Level

Close-up of a car door with a switch and circular icon (no visible text or symbols)

• The chart below shows the rated and surge wattage of your generator according to its model number.
• The rated wattage corresponds to the maximum wattage the generator can output on a continuous basis.
• The surge wattage corresponds to the maximum amount of power the generator can output for a short period of time. Many electrical devices such as refrigerators require short bursts of extra power, in addition the rated wattage listed by the device, to stop and start their motors. The surge wattage ability of the generator covers this extra power requirement.

Fuel Source Rated (Running Wattage) Surge (Peak) Wattage
Gasoline 12,000 15,000
Propane 11,400 14,250

The total running wattage requirement of the electrical devices connected to the generator should not exceed the rated wattage of the generator itself. To calculate the total wattage requirement of the electrical devices you wish to connect, find the rated (or running) wattage of each device. This number should be listed somewhere on the device or in its instruction manual.

If you cannot find this wattage, you may calculate it by multiplying the Voltage requirement by the Amperage drawn: Watts = Volts x Amps. If these specifications are not available you may estimate the Watts required by your device by using the chart on the next page.

Once you have found the rated wattage requirement of each electrical device, add these numbers to find the total rated wattage you wish to draw from the generator. If this number exceeds the rated wattage of the generator, DO NOT connect all these devices. Select a combination of electrical devices, which has a total rated wattage lower than or equal to the rated wattage of the generator.

CAUTION - The generator can only run at its surge wattage capacity for a very short time. Connect only electrical devices requiring a rated (running) wattage equal to or less than the rated wattage of the generator. Never connect devices requiring a rated wattage equal to the surge wattage of the generator.

NOTE: The above wattage figures are estimates only.

Try to check the wattage listed on your electrical devices before consulting this chart.

USING THE GENERATOR (CONTINUED)

Connecting a Load to the Generator

NOTE: Be sure to attach devices to the correct receptacle (outlet).

• 120v devices can be directly connected to the 120v ONLY receptacles.
• 120v devices can be connected to the 120/240v receptacle using an appropriate adapter.
• 240v devices can ONLY be connected the 240v receptacle.

CAUTION: Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to the generator.

1. Plug in devices

Plug in devices to the appropriate receptacle. When using the generator in 120/240v mode, balance the load as closely as possible. Placing more load on one side of the circuit will reduce the breaker trip period.

2. Turn breaker on

Flip the circuit breaker up to the on position to allow power to the receptacles.
