FAMILIARIZATION
Transporting
CAUTION: Units are heavy. Observe safe lifting procedures when transporting.
Before transporting generator, it is important to turn off both the engine switch and the fuel
petcock. Keep generator level at all times to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may
ignite.
WARNING: Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can cause serious burns or fire. Let
the engine and muffler cool before transporting the generator.
Storage
Make sure that the generator storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust. Store the
generator in dry, well-ventilated area.
WARNING: Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can cause serious burns or fires.
Let the engine and muffler cool before storing the generator.
Accessories
Accessories available for generators include wheels, handles, a lifting hook, and frame. The
battery frame is required for use with electric start generators (D6000E and D7000E).
Assembly of Accessories
NOTE: Two people are needed for these installations. Install the wheel kit before adding
gasoline or engine oil to prevent damage to the engine. If you are installing accessories after
running the generator, be sure that the gas tank is empty, and that the fuel petcock is turned to
the off position, that is, horizontal to the ground. Be sure that the oil is drained from the engine.
you may use figures 3 and 4 to check that the accessory kit contains the appropriate pieces.
NOTE: After approximately 20
hours of operation, accessory
bolts may loosen. Tighten them
as needed.

chassis. Install the wheel axle to the upper chassis. Use the short bolts (figure 3A) for these
two steps. Insert the two larger washers, on on each end of the axle. Slide the tires on the
axle. Insert the two small washers on the outside of the wheels. Insert cotter pins into the holes
in the axle. Place the generator upright so that it is resting on the wheels and stands.
HANDLE KIT ASSEMBLY (FIGURE 6)
Install handles on the engine side of the generator by placing the handle assembly on the top
horizontal bars, and then inserting the bottom clamp. Use the long bolts (figure 3B) to secure
the bottom clamp to the top clamp. Tighten the bolts until the assembly is snug or until the gap
between the top and bottom clamps is closed.
LIFTING HOOK ASSEMBLY (FIGURE 6)
Insert the lifting hook under the two horizontal bars, and position it according to the complete
generator diagram at the beginning of this manual. Place the top clamp over the horizontal bars
and fasten to the lifting hook using the long bolts(figure 3B). Tighten the bolts firmly until the gap
between the top clamp and the lifting hook is closed. For correct location of lifting hook for the
DG4300, DG6000 and DG7000, DG6000E and DG700E, please refer to the separate insert.
ELECTRIC START BATTERY FRAME ASSEMBLY
WARNING: Read and follow all safety instructions included with the battery.
You must use a 12V, 18-35 AH or more battery. It should measure no more than 8" long X 5-
1/4" wide X 7" tall.
Attach the battery tray and guard to frame rods as shown in figure 7. Place the battery on the
battery tray so that the bracket will not interfere with battery terminals as shown in figure 8.
Insert the bent rods into holes in the battery tray. Align the battery bracket with threaded ends
of rods. Be sure that the bracket will not contact the terminals of the battery. If the battery
bracket contacts the battery terminals, it could cause a short. Use wing nuts to tighten the
battery bracket.
Attach the starter cable leads shown in figure 8 to the battery. Route the leads so that they do
not hang loosely between the generator and the battery terminals. Attach the red, positive cable
to the positive battery terminal and attach the black, negative cable to the negative battery
terminal. The leads are equipped with a nut, washer and bolt for securely attaching leads to
battery terminals.
CAUTION: Keep the insulated covering on the starter cable leads until you attach them to
the battery terminals. Starting the generator with start cable leads exposed could cause electric
shock, fire, or explosion.
