ENGINE CIRCUIT BREAKER  
GENERATOR  
FEATURES  
This circuit breaker, or fuse, protects the  
battery charging circuit. A short circuit will  
trip the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker  
will also trip if you install battery wrong.  
Push circuit breaker button to reset. On  
Model PGH11000IE, the fuse is located  
inside of the Keyswitch box.  
All models have a 120-volt ground fault  
circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle. The  
GFCI protects you against hazardous elec-  
trical shock caused when your body be-  
comesapaththroughwhichelectricitytrav-  
elstoreachground.Thiscouldhappenwhen  
you touch an appliance or cord that is ‘live’  
through faulty mechanism, damp or worn  
insulation, etc.  
OIL ALERT SYSTEM

system is wired into the ON/OFF Switch.  
When protected by the GFCI, you may still  
feel a shock, but the GFCI should cut it off  
quickly. A person in normal health should

Check the GFCI receptacle every month.  
This insures it is working right.  
RECEPTACLE CIRCUIT  
BREAKER  
See engine Owner’s Manual for more  
information.  
1. Push black TEST button. Red RESET  
button should pop out. This should trip  
GFCI, resulting in no electrical power  
at receptacle. Verify this by plugging  
test lamp with good bulb into recep-  
tacle. If lamp does not work, GFCI re-  
ceptacle is good.  
The circuit breakers protect the receptacles  
and alternator. Overloading generator will  
trip circuit breaker. A short circuit in item  
being powered will also trip breaker. If this  
occurs, unplug electrical load from recep-  
tacle. Let circuit breaker cool down. Push  
circuit breaker button to reset.

WARNING: If RESET button  
does not pop out, do not use the  
GFCI receptacle. Contact a quali-  
fied electrician for repairs.

BATTERY  
FUEL  
We ship the generator without oil in the  
engine crankcase. You must add oil before  
startingengine.SeeengineOwner’sManual  
for specific oil type.  
WARNING: Battery gives off  
explosive gases. Keep sparks,  
flames, and cigarettes away. Do  
not remove or install battery  
cables when engine is cranking  
or running. Only service or use  
battery in a well-vented area.  
WARNING:Gasolinepresents  
a hazard of fire or explosion.  
Gasoline is flammable. Its vapor  
is explosive.  
• Keep fuel out of children’s  
reach.  
CHECKING OIL LEVEL AND  
ADDING OIL  
Refuel generator in a well-  
ventedarea.Donotfillfueltank  
in the dark. Do not refuel while  
engine is running. Unhook all  
electrical loads and shut off  
engine before refueling.  
Follow steps below to check oil level. Make  
sure engine is level and stopped.  
WARNING: Battery contains  
sulfuric acid. Contact with skin  
or eyes may cause severe burns.  
Do not tilt generator with battery  
installed.Tiltingcouldcausebat-  
tery acid to spill. Wear protective  
clothing and face shield when  
servicing. Keep out of children’s  
reach.  
1. Remove dipstick (see Figure 6). Wipe  
dipstick clean.  
2. Insert dipstick into oil filler neck. Do  
not screw it in. Oil level should be at  
top of filler neck. Oil should cover most  
of dipstick. For Model PGH11000IE  
only, the oil should be between the two  
dots on dipstick.  
• Do not overfill fuel tank. Al-  
ways allow room for fuel to  
expand.Ifyouoverfilltank,fuel  
can overflow onto hot engine.  
This can cause fire or explo-  
sion. After refueling, tightly  
close fuel tank cap.  
• Do not spill fuel. Fuel or fuel  
vapor may ignite. If fuel spills,  
make sure area is dry before  
starting engine.  
• Never smoke in refueling area.  
Never allow open flames or  
sparks in area.  
• Store fuel in approved con-  
tainer. Store fuel in a well-  
ventedareafreeofopenflames  
or sparks.  
3. If level is low, fill to top of oil filler neck  
(see Figure 6). For Model PGH11000IE  
only, fill to top dot on dipstick. Only use  
oil recommended in engine Owner’s  
Manual.  
• If battery acid gets on your  
skin, wash with water.  
• Ifbatteryacidgetsinyoureyes,

You may need to use this generator as a  
standby power source. During a power out-  
age, the generator will power selected items  
in a building. Have generator and additional  
wiring installed by a skilled, licensed elec-  
trician. This is not a do-it-yourself job. Fol-  
low all local codes.  
WARNING: For a grounding  
point, do not use metal pipe be-  
ing used to carry combustible  
materials or gases.  
WARNING: The electrician  
mustinstalladouble-throwtrans-

IMPORTANT: The engine speed is preset.  
The throttle is locked in preset position. Do  
not adjust throttle. Preset position lets en-  
gine run at 3600 RPM under load. The  
engine must maintain 3600 RPM for gen-  
erator to create correct voltage. Running  
engine at lower speeds will damage genera-  
tor and powered items.  
Note: If engine does not start, check  
the oil in the crankcase.Add oil as nec-  
essary. Be sure engine is on a level sur-  
face. See Oil Alert System, page 6.  
Choke Lever (Open Position)  
5. As engine warms up, slowly move  
choke lever fully to the right (see Fig-  
ure 19). This opens the choke. On  
Model PGH11000IE, the choke will au-  
tomatically open.  
IMPORTANT: Never start generator with  
electrical loads connected. Start engine be-  
fore adding electrical loads.  
Choke Lever (Closed Position)  
1. Make sure gasoline tank is full. See  
Figure 19 - Choke Lever Opened (Model  
PGH7500IE Shown)  
Fuel, page 7, for fuel information.  
2. Move fuel valve lever to the ON posi-  
tion (see Figure 16).  
3. Move choke lever fully to the left (see  
Figure 16) or pull choke button out  
(Model PGH11000IE only, see Figure

IMPORTANT: The engine speed is preset.  
The throttle is locked in preset position. Do  
not adjust throttle.  
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION  
Follow the steps below to stop engine.  
This generator will not perform well at high  
altitudes without proper adjustment. See  
engine Owner’s Manual for details.  
1. Remove all electrical loads from gen-  
erator (see Disconnecting Electrical  
Loads). Remove electrical loads one at  
a time.  
ADDING ELECTRICAL  
LOADS  
2. Let engine run for two or three min-  
utes after removing electrical loads.  
This lets engine cool slightly.  
IMPORTANT: Do not overload generator.  
Make sure total wattage of all electrical  
loads does not exceed rated wattage of gen-  
erator. Overloading may shorten generator  
life. It could also cause internal damage to  
generator. Overloading will trip circuit  
breaker.  
3. Turn engine switch to the OFF posi-  
tion (see Figure 20).  
Figure 21 - Fuel Valve Lever Off (Model  
PGH7500IE Shown)  
4. Turn fuel valve lever off. Do this by  
moving valve lever fully to the left (see  
Figure 21).  
1. Check items to be powered. Their  
nameplate lists their wattage ratings.  
Note: The wattage ratings for some  
electrical motors are misleading. They  
may require up to three-times their  
rated wattage to start. You must figure  
total electrical load wattage. Make sure  
total wattage of all electrical loads does  
not exceed rated wattage of generator.

WARNING: The muffler be-  
comesveryhotduringoperation.  
The muffler remains hot for a  
while after shutdown. Let engine  
cool before storing.  
AND REPAIRS  
Note: We supply the engine Owner’s  
Manualwithgenerator.Refertothatmanual  
for questions concerning engine mainte-  
nance and repairs.  
WARNING: Only a qualified  
electrical service person should  
service and repair the alternator  
on this generator. Use only fac-  
toryapprovedreplacementparts.  
IMPORTANT: Keep generator level while  
in storage. Never store generator upside  
down or standing on end.  
Non-enginepartsrequirelittlemaintenance.  
Keep generator clean. Use a damp cloth to  
clean outside surfaces. Never use water to  
clean generator. Water can cause damage to  
internal parts. Use vacuum to clean air inlet  
and outlet louvers of alternator.  
Note: We supply the engine Owner’s  
Manualwithgenerator.Refertothatmanual  
for questions concerning engine storage.  
Use a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL® or an  
equivalent,whenstoringgeneratorwithfuel  
in fuel tank. This will minimize fuel gum  
deposits from forming in engine.  
CAUTION: The engine speed  
is preset. The throttle is locked in  
preset position. Do not adjust  
throttle. Preset position lets en-  
gine run at 3600 RPM under load.  
The engine must maintain 3600  
RPM for generator to create cor-  
rect voltage. Running engine at  
lower speeds will damage gen-  
erator and powered items.

Always specify model and serial numbers when communicating with the factory.  
We reserve the right to amend these specifications at any time without notice. The only warranty applicable is our standard written warranty.

See engine Owner’s Manual for engine warranty information.  
TWO-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY  
GASOLINE PORTABLE GENERATORS  
DESA International warrants each alternator, generator, or electric product of its manufacture, to be free from defects in material and  
workmanship for two years from the date of first purchase from an authorized dealer, provided that the product has been properly  
installed, maintained, and operated in accordance with all applicable instructions. The bill of sale or proof of purchase mustbe presented  
at the time a claim is made under this warranty.  
This warranty is extended only to the original retail purchaser. This warranty covers only the parts and labor required to restore this unit  
toitsproperoperatingcondition.Warrantypartsmustbeobtainedthroughfactoryauthorizeddealersandservicecentersforthisproduct.  
These dealers and service centers will provide original factory replacement parts. Failure to use original factory replacement parts voids  
this warranty.  
This warranty does not apply to parts that are not in original condition because of normal wear and tear, or parts that fail or become  
damaged as a result of misuse, abuse, negligence, accident, lack of proper maintenance, alteration, modification, tampering,  
contaminated fuels, repair using improper parts, or repair by anyone other than an authorized dealer or service center. Routine  
maintenance is the responsibility of the owner. Travel, handling, transportation, and incidental costs associated with warranty repairs  
are not reimbursable under this warranty and are the responsibility of the owner.  
DESA International makes no warranty with respect to the engine and engine components not of its manufacture. They are subject to  
warranties of their manufacturers.  
To the full extent allowed by the law of the jurisdiction that governs the sale of the product, this express warranty excludes any and all  
other expressed warranties and limits the duration of any and all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness  
for a particular purpose to two years from the date of first purchase, and DESA International’s liability is hereby limited to the purchase  
price of the product and DESA International shall not be liable for any other damages whatsoever including indirect, incidental, or  
consequential damages.  
Some states do not allow limitation of how long an implied warranty lasts or an exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential  
damages, so the above limitation of damages may not apply to you.  
This warranty provides the original purchaser with specific rights. For information regarding those rights, please consult the applicable  
state laws.
