Step 4 – 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 | XP12000EH |
---|---|
Engine Oil Capacity | 40.5 fl. oz (1.2 L) |
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.
- Synthetic oil may be used after the 8 hour initial break-in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting in cold temperatures <5ºC (41ºF).
---|---
| Add oil
a. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
b. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine.
c. Using a funnel, add the appropriate amount of oil into the crankcase. You will know the crankcase is full when the oil level has reached the lower lip of the opening you have just poured the oil into.
d. Replace the oil filler cap.
| WARNING: Do not overfill the crankcase. This may damage the motor and shorten the overall life of your generator.
Step 5 – Adding Gasoline (Optional)
Add gasoline
a. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
b. Unscrew gas cap and set aside (NOTE: the gas cap may be tight and hard to
unscrew).
c. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill.
The fuel gauge on the top of the gas tank indicates how much gasoline is in
the generator gas tank.
d. Replace fuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
Model Number | XP12000EH |
---|---|
Gas Tank Capacity | 8.3 US gal. (31 L) |
WARNING: Gas can expand. Do not fill the gas tank to the very top. Leave a minimum of 1.5 in open space. Gasoline and gas fumes are highly flammable. Do not fill the tank near an open flame. Always check for fuel spills.
IMPORTANT:
- To ensure that the generator runs smoothly use only FRESH, UNLEADED GAS WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF 87 OR HIGHER.
- Never use an oil/gasoline mixture. Never use old gas.
- Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
- Gas can age in the tank and make it hard to start up the generator in the future.
- Never store generator for extended periods of time with fuel in the tank.
Step 6 – Grounding the Generator
|
---|---
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.
Grounding codes can vary by location. Please contact a local electrician to
check the grounding regulations for your area.
Note: If the generator is connected to a home, then it won’t be necessary
to attach the separate grounding wire and you can opt to use your home ground
instead. Please see a certified electrician for further options with grounding
your generator.
WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electrocution.
High Altitude Operation
At high altitudes, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich.
The 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 by 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
Check the Oil
|
---|---
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 it
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.
Model Number | XP12000EH |
---|---|
Engine Oil Capacity | 40.5 fl. oz (1.2 L) |
Check the Gas Level (Optional)
Check fuel level
If running the engine on gasoline 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 the tank near an open flame.
- Always allow the engine to cool for several minutes before refueling.
- DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Fuel expands when shaken or heated. ALWAYS leave 1 1/2“ space or more at the top of the tank.
- ALWAYS use fresh fuel or stabilized fuel. Old gasoline (older than 30 days) can cause permanent damage to the fuel system.
- Always check for fuel spills.

AC Usage
- You may connect electrical devices running on AC current according to their wattage requirements.
- 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 to 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 | 9500 | 12000 |
Propane | 9025 | 11400 |
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.

avoid a spark.
CAUTION: The DC receptacle is for recharging 12 Volt automotive-type
batteries only. Do not connect any other device to this receptacle.
CAUTION: Never try to jump start a car with your generator.
DANGER: Stored batteries emit highly explosive hydrogen gas when charged.
Batteries also contain acid, which can cause severe chemical burns.
DANGER: Do not allow open flames or cigarettes nearby for several minutes
after charging a battery.
DANGER: Always wear protective goggles and rubber gloves when charging a
battery.
DANGER: If battery acid gets on your skin, flush with water. If battery
acid gets in your eyes, flush with water and call a physician immediately.
DANGER: If battery acid is swallowed, drink large quantities of milk and
call a Physician immediately.
Voltage Selector Switch
This generator features Power Boost Technology, which gives the user the
ability to double the power in the generator for more heavy duty applications.
The voltage selector switches the dual 120V AC windings of the generator to
produce “120V ONLY” or “120/240V”. If a 240V appliance is connected to the
4-prong receptacle, the switch must be in the “120/240V” position. If only
120V appliances are being connected to the generator select the “120V ONLY”
position to double the 120V amperage and automatically balance the load.
Idle Control Usage
| Idle control
The idle control feature lowers the RPM of the generator when there is no load
to save gas and decrease engine noise.
When a load is applied, the engine will resume normal speed to provide usable
power.
Turn on the idle control when using intermittent loads like power tools and
air compressors.
The idle control feature is designed for gasoline only use.
---|---
WARNING: Power is unusable when idle control is engaged.
- DO NOT use the idle control function when using the generator for backup house power.
- Idle control function will cause massive fluctuations in voltage and hertz.
- Low amperage loads may not trigger the idle up function.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Proper maintenance and storage of your generator are essential to ensure
trouble-free use of your generator when you need it.
By following the maintenance and care requirements, you can keep your
generator running smoothly and efficiently for years to come.
Proper routine maintenance of your generator is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.
WARNING: Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously injured or killed. Always follow the inspection, maintenance recommendations, and schedules in this instruction manual.
- Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs.
- Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
- To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-related parts.
Maintenance Schedule
Remember that this schedule is based on the assumption that your machine will be used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load, high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.

Break-In Period
As the best practice for any new combustion motor it’s recommended to perform the break in procedure as follows:
- Run the generator for the first 6-8 hours on conventional oil, then change the oil. After the break-in period synthetic oil may be used.
- During the break in period of the first 6-8 hours keep the generator load under 50% for optimal results.
- Check and clean the air filter if necessary after the break-in period.
Maintenance Log
As a best practice it’s recommended to keep a log of the generator hours and maintenance to ensure your generator is always operating to its full potential.
Date | Generator Hours | Maintenance Performed |
---|---|---|
Checking the Oil
| 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 it
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. The oil will be visible in the oil fill spout when full.
f. Be sure to replace the cap when finished checking oil.
