Safety Instructions
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฀flames.
•฀Unit฀vibrates฀excessively.
Parallel฀Kit฀Precautions
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.
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฀flash฀to฀provide฀notification฀that฀the฀generator฀was฀shutoff฀
due฀to฀an฀accumulating฀CO฀hazard.฀The฀RED฀light฀will฀flash฀for฀at฀least฀
five฀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฀flash฀to฀provide
notification฀that฀a฀fault฀has฀occurred.฀The฀YELLOW฀light฀will฀flash฀for
at฀least฀five฀minutes฀after฀a฀fault.฀The฀generator฀can฀be฀re-started,
but฀may฀continue฀to฀shutoff.
To฀prevent฀serious฀injury,฀death,฀and฀generator฀and/or
equipment฀damage฀from฀electric฀shock฀and฀fire:
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.
WARNING
WARNING
NOTE
Automatic฀shutoff฀accompanied฀with฀a฀flashing฀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.
