Operator should wear personal protection suitable for
the environment and task. Example: Heat resistant
gloves, hearing protection and safety glasses when
operating or maintaining the generator.
Do not attempt major repairs or internal work on the
generator. Leave this job to a qualified repair shop or
a Pulsar authorized service center.
Never operate any generator underground or in any
kind of enclosed, explosive or IDLH (Immediately
Dangerous to Life and Health) environment.
This generator makes enough electrical power to
cause serious shock or electrocution if misused.
Never touch any exposed wires or operate any
generator with wet hands.
Always keep children and pets away from any
generator whether it is running or not.
Always use an inline GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) when connected loads operate in a damp
location.
Always shut down the generator and allow it to cool
completely before attempting any adjustments,
maintenance or repair.
Never add fuel while the generator is running!
Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline with a cloth
rag or paper towel, but do NOT place it in a trash can
until it is completely dry.
Never connect in series (Daisy Chain) electrical extension cords! You must consult
a Wire Gauge Calculator to determine the appropriately sized cable cross-section
for your specific use case, load profile, and run distance.
Do NOT attempt to connect in parallel any different model of generator. Use only
Pulsar approved parallel kits with generators that are certified to work together.
You MUST maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet (2
meters) between the generator and any structure or
other flammable materials
Only dispose of oil or gasoline in accordance with
your municipal recycling or waste management
program, NEVER place it in the trash for collection!

the right until it is fully open. You may need to
do this slowly in very cold weather.
15
Connect Load(s)
Allow the engine to warm up for at least 30
seconds, then attach your loads from
smallest to largest, allowing the generator to
stabilize between each load applied.
Take care not to exceed the load limits of the
generator, especially with inductive loads
such as motors.
Power output is based upon sea level, +15C,
and 30% RH. Changes in elevation and
weather can reduce the generator capacity.
