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.
