CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY
Carbon Monoxide
Generators are convenient, but they can also be dangerous. All fuelburning appliances and equipment release a poisonous gas called carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide (also known as CO) can be dangerous for humans and pets, even in small amounts, because it blocks oxygen from getting into your body. Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death in a very short time. It is odorless, tasteless and invisible, so you may be exposed without knowing it. That is why carbon monoxide is sometimes called “the silent killer.”

CO-ALERT

Description
The DuroMax CO-ALERT system was created to protect our customers and their families from dangerous carbon monoxide. Just like the detector for your home the COALERT tests the air for to keep you safe and healthy.

CO Detected
If dangerous carbon monoxide levels are detected: The indicator will light red. The engine will shutdown. The engine will not restart for 5 minutes.
Maintenance Required
If an error in the CO-ALERT system is detected the indicator will light yellow. Please contact DuroMax service at 844-DUROMAX for assistance.

12

As the only safe way to use a portable generator, taking your generator outside is absolutely mandatory to keep your family safe from carbon monoxide. But there’s even more you can do. By educating yourself about all carbon monoxide risks, you’ll be better prepared to protect your family from this colorless, odorless threat. Visit takeyourgeneratoroutside.com for more information.

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 Engine Oil Capacity

XP13000X 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. * 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.

25

GENERATOR SETUP (CONTINUED)

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 Gas Tank Capacity

XP13000X 8.3 US gal. (31L)

DANGER

DO NOT OVERFILL

1.5″

THE GAS TANK

OVERFILLING CAN RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION, OR DEATH.

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.

26

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.
27

28

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.
29

BEFORE YOU START YOUR GENERATOR
Step 1 – 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 Engine Oil Capacity

XP13000X 40.5 fl. oz. (1.2L)

30

Step 2 – 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.

DANGER

DO NOT OVERFILL

USING THE GENERATOR

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. In addition to the rated wattage listed by the device, many electrical devices such as refrigerators require short bursts of extra power to stop and start their motors. The surge wattage ability of the generator covers this extra power requirement.

Fuel Source Gasoline

Rated (Running) Wattage 10500

Surge (Peak) Wattage 13000

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.

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 to 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, 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.
3. Turn on connected devices
Start or turn on appliances, starting with the biggest loads first.
42

Choosing the Right Power Cord

Long or thin cords can drain the power provided to an electrical device by the generator. When using such cords, allow for a slightly higher rated wattage requirement for the electrical device. See the table below for recommended cords based on the power requirement of the electrical device.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Proper maintenance and storage of your generator is 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 smooth and efficient for years to come.
47

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
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.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE (CONTINUED)

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.
