Echo DGK7F Diesel Generator
Echo DGK7F 7 kVA industrial diesel generator — 6.5 kW (1-phase) continuous, 62 dB(A) at 23 ft, Kubota Z482, 14 hr runtime at full load.
The ECHO DGK7F is a Tier 4 Final mobile diesel generator rated 6.5 kW continuous single-phase, built around a Kubota Z482 engine in an enclosure ECHO rates at 62 dB(A) at no load, measured at 23 ft. It is designed for rental fleets and contractors — equipment that gets used hard, moved often, and maintained on a schedule.
Altitude
ECHO does not publish a derate figure for this machine — not on the sell sheet and not on the spec page. That is worth saying plainly rather than filling the gap with someone else's number. What the sheet does give is the engine and how it breathes, and that is what decides the answer: this one is indirect injection, naturally aspirated. A naturally aspirated diesel loses real output as air thins, because nothing is restoring intake density — and at Front Range elevations that is not a rounding error. Size it for the site, not for sea level.
We are at 6,035 ft in Colorado Springs and we sell into sites well above that. Tell us the elevation the machine will actually work at and we will get the derate in writing from ECHO before you order, rather than after you find out. A set that is quietly short of its nameplate at 8,000 ft is the most common and most expensive mistake in this business, and it is entirely avoidable.
Options. Trailer, block heater, battery charger, cam locks, fire extinguisher and shore power are factory options ordered with the unit — ask and we will quote the machine as you actually want it configured.

Features and specifications
- Kubota Z482 diesel. Indirect injection, naturally aspirated, 29.23 cu in (0.479 L), 11.3 hp (8.4 kW) @ 3600 rpm. US EPA Tier 4 Final.
- Standby rating. 7.2 kW, above the continuous rating, for backup duty rather than prime power.
- Output. 120 / 240 V single-phase. 54 A at 120 V, 27 A at 240 V. Voltage selector switch with lockout protection. Frequency regulation 60 Hz ±0.25%.
- Fuel. 9.5 gal (36.4 L) internal with 110% fluid containment. Burn is 0.68 gal/hr at full load, 0.55 at 3/4, 0.47 at 1/2 and 0.36 at 1/4 — about 14 hours at full load on the internal tank, less as you load it harder than a rental set usually runs.
- Sound. 62 dB(A) at no load and 64 dB(A) at full load at 23 ft, using a tuned muffler, longer exhaust and air dams that double the cooling path rather than insulation alone.
- Size and weight. 42.7" x 25.0" x 34.9", 744 lb dry. Trailered: 64.94" x 55.0" x 68.21", 1,104 lb.
- Alternator. Revolving field brushless AC. 12 V DC electric starting.
Four outlets: a 120 V GFCI 5-20R, a 120 V L5-30R twist-lock, a 120/240 V L14-30R twist-lock and a 120/240 V 50 A twist-lock.
Ultra-quiet design
Echo industrial generators are built for sound-sensitive jobsites: air dams and insulated panels double the cooling air path, heavy-gauge door panels and sound-absorbing foam damp the enclosure, and a tuned muffler with an extended exhaust pipe cuts both high and low frequency noise -- without power-robbing auxiliary fans.
