5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Starting the Generator
The DK6000iAED offers three starting methods: Remote Start, Electrical Start, and Recoil Start.
General Starting Steps (before choosing method):
- Ensure the generator is on a level surface and properly grounded.
- Verify sufficient fuel (gasoline or propane) and engine oil levels.
- Ensure no electrical devices are connected to the outlets.
- Turn the Main Switch (6) to the "ON" position.
- Select your desired fuel source (Gasoline or Propane) using the fuel selector switch.
Remote Start:
- With the generator prepared as above, press the "START" button on the remote control.
- The generator should start automatically.
Electrical Start (One Push Start):
- With the generator prepared as above, press the One Push Start Button (4).
- Hold until the engine starts.
Recoil Start:
- With the generator prepared as above, grasp the Recoil Handle (3) firmly.
- Pull the handle slowly until resistance is felt, then pull quickly and smoothly to start the engine. Repeat if necessary.
5.2 Connecting Electrical Devices
- Once the generator is running and stable, you can connect your electrical devices.
- Use the appropriate outlets: 20A Outlet (15), 30A Outlet (11), 30A Outlet (16), or USB Duplex (12).
- Do not overload the generator. Ensure the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed the generator's running wattage.
- If a Circuit Breaker (17) trips, reduce the load and press the reset button on the breaker.
5.3 Low Idle Switch (7)
The Low Idle Switch helps conserve fuel and reduce noise during periods of low power demand. When activated, the engine speed will automatically adjust to the load. For maximum power or when starting high-load appliances, ensure this switch is off.
5.4 Parallel Operation
For increased power output, two or three DK6000iAED generators can be connected in parallel using a compatible parallel kit (sold separately).
Steps for Parallel Connection:
- Ensure both generators are turned off and cooled.
- Connect the parallel kit cables to the Parallel Connectors (13) on both generators.
- Follow the starting procedure for both generators.
- Once both generators are running, you can connect your devices to the outlets on the parallel kit.
5.5 Stopping the Generator
- Disconnect all electrical devices from the generator.
- Allow the generator to run for a few minutes without load to cool down.
- Turn the Main Switch (6) to the "OFF" position.
- If operating on propane, close the valve on the propane tank.

9. User Tips
- Fuel Efficiency: Utilize the Low Idle Switch (7) for fuel efficiency when running light loads. This will automatically adjust engine speed to match demand.
- Power Management: When connecting multiple appliances, start with the highest wattage items first, then add smaller items. This helps the generator stabilize its output.
- Regular Checks: Before each use, quickly check oil and fuel levels, and ensure the area around the generator is clear for proper ventilation.
- Propane for Storage: If storing the generator for an extended period, consider running it on propane until the gasoline in the carburetor is consumed. This helps prevent carburetor issues from stale gasoline.
- Remote Start Convenience: Keep the remote control in a safe, accessible place for quick and easy starting, especially in emergency situations.
