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

shuts down the engine and prevents engine
restarting if the oil level falls too low.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.
