Operation
2. If the OVERLOAD light turns on and the generator stops producing
power, it has been overloaded.
3. Turn off and disconnect all electrical devices and stop the engine.
Compare device requirements to generator rating and reduce the
total wattage of connected devices if necessary. Move anything that
may be limiting generator ventilation away.
4. Check if any circuit breakers have tripped and make sure that ALL
circuit breakers are reset before starting the generator again.
5. Restart the engine and reconnect devices while being careful to not
overload the generator.
6. Any generator will produce less power at high altitudes and/or in hot
weather. Please contact Pulsar Support at 866.591.8921 for details.
NOTICE
Do not run the engine with too little oil. Engine will shut off if
engine oil level is too low.
Low Oil Indicator
1. If the engine oil level is too low, the LOW OIL light turns on and the
engine will automatically shut off.
2. The engine cannot be restarted until the proper amount of oil has
been added. Add the appropriate type of oil until the oil level is at
the proper level. SAE 10w-30 oil is recommended for general use.
Stop The Engine
1. Turn off and unplug all connected electrical loads. Never start or
stop the generator with electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
2. Push and hold the START/STOP button for 1-3 second or push STOP
on the remote start key fob for 1-3 second.
3. Main Switch down to OFF position.
4. Turn the fuel selector knob to the off position.
Low Idle Switch
1. Turn the Low Idle Switch ON to limit noise and fuel consumption for
lighter generator loads.
2. The Low Idle Switch to OFF to operate engine at full speed when:
● Starting the generator
● A heavy load is applied
Voltage Selector
The Voltage Selector allows more current to be available at 120V
outlets if 240V output is not required:
● Switch to 120V only: 120V sockets and 120V/240V dual voltage
sockets can be used, but 120V/240V dual voltage sockets can only
output 120V.
● Switch to 120V/240V: Both 120V and 240V outlets can be used.
NOTE: Do not change the switch while under load. For parallel function,
switch position must be at 120/240V.
