Step 3 - Adding Oil

The generator requires engine oil to operate properly. The generator, when new from the package contains no oil in the crankcase*. You must add the proper amount of oil before operating the generator for the first time. This amount is equal to the oil capacity of the engine crankcase:

Model Number	DS13000EH
Engine Oil Capacity	40.5 fl. oz (1.2L)

WARNING: Do not apply engine oils with additives or 2-stroke gasoline engine oils. They don't have enough lubrication, and may shorten the engine's service life.

Engine oil recommended: SAE 10W-30. Viscosity varies with regions and temperatures. Choose your oil viscosity using the chart to the left.

* A small amount of oil from factory testing may be present on arrival.

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 3,000 feet (900 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 3,000 feet (900 meters) with a modified carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage.

STARTING THE GENERATOR

If this is not your first time using the generator there are still steps you should take to prepare it for operation each time you use it.

IMPORTANT: At this point you should be familiar with the procedures described in the first portion of this section entitled "GENERATOR SETUP" If you have not yet read this section, go back and read it now.

BEFORE YOU START YOUR GENERATOR

Step 1 - Check the oil

Close-up of a medical or laboratory device with a metallic rod inserted into a textured, fibrous material (no visible text or symbols)

Close-up of hands holding a black object with a metallic clip, no visible text or symbols

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. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap.
c. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the stick on the inside of the cap.
d. Insert the dipstick as if you were replacing the cap and then remove 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 cap when finished checking oil.

NOTE: The oil capacity for your generator can be found in the "Specifications" section of this manual.

Step 2 - Check the gas level

Close-up of a car door with a double-headed lock and a parking sign (no readable text or symbols)

1. Check Fuel Level

Before starting the generator, check to see that there is sufficient gasoline in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge on top of the tank will give a rough estimate of the gasoline level. The gauge will appear white then fill red as the tank is filled.

Note: Fuel gauge may not register with less than 1/3 fuel tank full.

WARNING: Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable.

• Do not fill tank near an open flame.

• Always allow engine to cool for several minutes before refueling.

- DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Fuel expands when shaken or heated. ALWAY leave 1^1/2 space or more at the top of the tank.

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.
