,&WARNING:
Risk of explosion or fire. Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. Refuel outdoors
preferably or only in well-ventilated areas. Do not refuel or check gasoline level while the
engine is running. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame, a source of sparks
(such as welding), or near operating electrical equipment. Do not smoke when filling fuel
tank.
1. Remove fuel cap (G).
2. Add fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 86
octane to the fuel tank (H). NOTE: Do not mix oil with gasoline.
WARNING: Never fill fuel tank completely. Do not fill above the shoul-
ders on the debris screen (NN) as shown to provide space for fuel
expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment before
starting engine.

ENGINE SWITCH
The engine switch (S) must be in the ON position to start. To stop the engine, place switch
in the OFF position. See Starting
and Stopping
under Operation for complete starting and
stopping instructions.
ELECTRIC START
DG4400B, DG6300B AND DG7000B
On these generators, the engine switch (S) can be placed in three positions; OFF, ON and
START. See Starting
under Operation for complete starting instructions.
18V BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER
The DG4400B, DG6300B and DG7000B models have an electric start feature that uses an
18V battery pack (F) to start the engine. The battery pack is charged by using the charger.
See Charger Procedure
under Assembly for charging procedure.
MAIN BREAKER
The main breaker (T) protects the alternator. Overloading the generator will trip the main cir-
cuit breaker. A short circuit in an electrical device being powered can also trip the main circuit
breaker. If the main breaker trips:
1. Disconnect the electrical loads from all receptacles.
2. Place the main circuit breaker (T) in the OFF position and then back into the ON position
to reset..
iMPORTANT: If the main breaker turns to the OFF position when no electrical loads are con-
nected, contact a DEWALT factory service center or a DEWALT authorized service center.
