•
on the unit before starting the engine.
• Never smoke while operating or fueling this unit.
•
• Generator should have at least 5 feet of clearance from buildings or other equipment during operation.
•
• When adding or draining fuel, unit should be turned off for at least 2 minutes to cool before removing fuel cap. If unit
has been running then the fuel cap is under pressure, remove slowly.
• To keep fuel from spilling, secure unit so it cannot tip while operating or transporting.
• When transporting unit, disconnect the spark plug wire and make sure the fuel tank is empty with the 3 in 1 switch is
turned to the off position.
WARNING! Starter and other moving parts can catch on clothing, jewelry, and hair.
• Do not wear loose clothing or gloves.
• Remove jewelry or anything else that could be caught in movingparts.
• Tie back or wear protective head covering to contain long hair.
WARNING! Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in to the receptacles. Failure to
do so could damage the generator and / or connected electrical devices.
• Always start the engine and let it stabilize before connecting any electronic devices.
• Disconnect all electronic devices before stopping the engine.
WARNING! Never exceed generators wattage / amperage capacity. This could damage the generator
and / or connected electrical devices.
• Check operating voltage and frequency requirements of all electrical devices prior to plugging them into the generator.

•
WARNING! Only use this unit as it is intended or serious injury or death could result.
• Do not bypass any safety device. Moving parts are covered with guards. Make sure all protective covers are in place.
• Never transport or make adjustments to this unit while it is running.
• Never insert objects through cooling slots.
WARNING! Never modify this unit in any way or modify governed speed.
• Increasing governing speed is dangerous which can result in personal injury and / or damaged equipment.
• Decreasing governing speed adds an excessive load and can damageequipment.
• Only when operating at the preset governing speed will this generator supply the correct rated frequency and voltage.
WARNING! Generator must be properly grounded to prevent electrocution.
• Only operate generator on a levelsurface.
• Always connect the nut and ground terminal on the frame to an appropriate ground source.
WARNING! This generator produces a very high voltage which could result in burn or
electrocution causing serious injury or death.
• Never handle the generator, electronic devices, or any cord while standing in water, while barefoot, or when hands or
feet are wet.
• Always keep the generator dry. Never operate generator in rain or under wetconditions.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in a damp or highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel work.
• Never plug electronic devices into generator having frayed, worn, or bare wires. Never touch bare wires or make
contact with receptacles.
•
generator at all times.
• If using the generator for back up power, notify the utility company.
•
install a transfer switch. Failure to isolate the generator from the power utility could result in serious injury or death to
electric utility workers.

Oil Warning Indicator Light
When the oil falls below the minimum level, the oil warning indicator
light comes on and the engine stops automatically. The engine will not
start nutil the proper amount of oil is in the crankcase.
Note: If the oil warning indicator light does not come on and the
engine stalls, turn the Start Switch to “RUN” and pull the recoil
starter.
Engine Overload Indicator Light
If the engine overload indicator light comes on, the generator s wattage
/ amperage capacity has been exceeded by connected electrical
devices or by a power surge. When this occurs, the green AC Pilot
Indicator Light will go off. The engine will continue to run, (but the red
Engine Overload Indicator Light will stay on and power will no longer be
supplied to connected electronic devices.)
How to Correct
1.
2.
Disconnect any electronic devices then stop the engine.
Reduce the total wattage of connected electronic devices until it is
within the generator’s rated output.
Inspect the Air Inlet and Control Panel for any blockage. Remove
blockage if found.
Restart Engine.

Fuel Selector Switch
When the Switch is in the Gas position and the Gasoline is "On", the generator is ready to start on Gasoline.
When the Switch is in the LPG position and the Gasoline is "Off", the generator is ready to start on LPG.
Choke Lever
When starting the generator on gasoline, pull out the "Choke" lever to allow the unit to start. Once started, push the
choke back in to allow the unit to run normally.
Note: The Choke is not required to start a warm engine

Note: The engine overload indicator light may turn on for a few sec- onds when attaching a load due to a power surge.
This is normal.
AC Pilot Indicator Light
The green AC Pilot Indicator Light comes on when the engine starts and generates power.

Engine Economy Control
•When the Engine Economy switch is turned to the “ON” position, the economy control unit automatically determines the
generator’s proper engine speed based on the connected electronic load. This results in superior fuel economy and
reduces noise.
When the Economy switch is turned to the “OFF” position, the engine runs at the rated speed of 4,100 r/min.

CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS

Note:The Economy switch must be turned to the “OFF” position when using electronic devices that require a large
starting current, such as acompressor.
Parallel Outlets
Located just above the Ground Terminal, the generator’s Parallel Outlets enable a user to run two PG2000BiSR
generator’s simultaneously. This operation requires special cables. When operating parallel generators, the rated output is
3.0kVA and the rated current is 25A/120VAC. For cables and instructions consult a PULSAR dealer for a PARALLEL
OPERATION CABLE KIT.
Fuel Cap
Turn counterclockwise to remove the fuel cap.
Fuel Cap Air Vent
The fuel cap is equipped with an air vent to stop fuel from flowing to the
carburetor. The Air Vent must be in the “ON” position to allow fuel to flow
so that the engine can run. Turn the Air Vent to the “OFF” position to stop
fuel flow.
Ground Terminal
The generator’s ground terminal must always be used to connect the
generator to a driven ground rod. Connect the ground terminal to the driven
ground rod with a 12 AWG (American Wire Gage) copper wire. The wire
connects to the terminal between the lock washer and nut. Tighten the nut
securely to ensure good connection. Grounding the generator protects you
from electric shock that results from a build up of static electricity or
undetected ground faults.
