Safety Instructions
NOTE
Improper treatment of the generator could damage it and shorten 
its life.
● Use generator only for intended applications.
● If you have questions about intended use, ask a dealer or contact 
your local Pulsar service center.
● Operate generator only on solid, level surfaces.
● DO NOT expose the generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or 
corrosive vapors.
● DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
● If connected devices overheat, turn them off and disconnect them 
from the generator. 
Shut off the generator if:
● Electrical output is lost.
● Equipment sparks, smokes, or emits ames. 
● Unit vibrates excessively.
Parallel Kit Precautions
WARNING
To prevent serious injury, death, and generator and/or equipment 
damage from electric shock and re:
1. Follow Parallel Kit instructions provided with it for connection 
and use of a Parallel Kit.
2. Only connect two identical Inverter Generators together using 
a Parallel Kit.
3. Connect Parallel Kit only to terminals marked "Parallel” on the 
front of the Generator.
4. Do not remove or connect a Parallel Kit while the Generator is 
running.
5. Do not use a Parallel Kit that is attached to only one Generator.
Carbon Monoxide Safety
Carbon Monoxide
Generators are very convenient, but they can also be very 
dangerous. All fuel-burning appliances and equipment release a 
poisonous gas called carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide (also 
known as CO) can be dangerous for humans and pets, even in 
small amounts, because it blocks oxygen from getting into your 
body. Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death in a very short 
time. It is odorless, tasteless and invisible, so you may be exposed 
without knowing it. That is why carbon monoxide is sometimes 
called “the silent killer”.
CO Sentry
The CO Sentry system was created to protect from dangerous carbon 
monoxide. Just like the detector for your home the CO Sentry tests the 
air for dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. If dangerous levels of 
carbon monoxide are detected this generator will automatically shutoff.
WARNING
Automatic shutoff accompanied with a ashing RED light in the CO 
Sentry portion of the control panel is an indication that the generator 
was improperly located. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or carbon 
monoxide detectors in your home indicate an alarm, get to fresh air 
immediately. Call emergency services. You may have carbon monoxide 
poisoning.
CO Sentry Indicator Lights
RED
Carbon monoxide has accumulated around the generator. After shut-off, 
the RED indicator light in the CO Sentry area of the control panel will 
ash to provide notication that the generator was shutoff due to an 
accumulating CO hazard. The RED light will ash for at least ve 
minutes after a CO shut-off. Move the generator to an open, outdoor 
area far away from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away. Once 
relocated to a safe area, the generator can be restarted. Introduce fresh 
air and ventilate the area where the generator had shut down.
YELLOW
A CO Sentry system fault occurred. When a system fault occurs, the 
generator is automatically shut down and the YELLOW indicator light in 
the CO auto-shutoff area of the control panel will ash to provide 
notication that a fault has occurred. The YELLOW light will ash for at 
least ve minutes after a fault. The generator can be re-started, but may 
continue to shutoff.
