Flip-A-Switch Starter Adds Convenience to Generators

DeWalt introduces two new easy-to-start generators, each featuring a non-removable, heavy-duty electric starter switch. The generators provide the convenience and safety of electric start without the possibility of a lost key.

Incorporating a standard Honda starter motor, the 11-hp, 6,000-watt DG6000E and 13-hp, 7,000-watt DG7000E reduce the risk of injury from a recoil rope when an engine backfires. The flip-a-switch electric starter provides added convenience in cold climates where repeated pulling of the recoil might be necessary to activate the generator and in situations where the unit is truck-mounted and reaching the recoil is awkward. The electric-start capability may also save fuel because workers are more likely to shut off the engine if it's effortless to restart when needed. The new generators also have recoil starter for backup.

Both units have Honda's premium OHV GX engine with special air intake, choke and carburetion to ensure reliable performance under all conditions including extreme temperatures in cold climates. A super-quiet muffler and idle control reduce noise and facilitate fuel efficiency. In addition, both generators have a brushless alternator for low maintenance and lasting dependability. For convenience, each has a control-panel with two 120-volt GFCI receptacles, two 120-volt twist-locking receptacles and a 120/240-volt receptacle.

“With these DeWalt electric-start generators, rental customers can work faster rather than spending time trying to start the motor,” says Wil Granger, product manager. “Meanwhile, rental dealers appreciate the reliability and the low maintenance. It makes their jobs easier, too.”
