General Precautions
Gasoline and Oil
• Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the engine and fuel
tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
• Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and
connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
• Do not refill the fuel tank while the engine is running or while the engine is still hot. Do not
operate the generator with known leaks in the fuel system
• Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can create a potentially
explosive condition. This buildup can occur after repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or
hot engine shutdown. If this occurs, open exhaust system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the
gases to dissipate before attempting to restart the generator.
Hot Components
Power Output

General Precautions
Work Area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator. Provide barriers or
shields as needed.
Electrical Safety
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs.
• Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user in the event of an electrical malfunction.
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug, where one blade is wider than the
other. This plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose generator to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the power cord. Keep power cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged power cords immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.
These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.

General Precautions
Electrical Safety
• All connections and conduits from the generator to the load must only be installed by trained and
licensed electricians, and in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal electrical
codes and standards, and other regulations where applicable.
• The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in accordance with all relevant
electrical codes and standards before operation.
• Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections while standing in water, or on wet or
soggy ground.
• Do not touch electrically energized parts of the generator and interconnecting cables or
conductors with any part of the body, or with any non-insulated conductive object.
• Connect the generator only to a load or electrical system (120 volt) that is compatible with the
electrical characteristics and rated capacities of the generator.
• Before servicing equipment powered by the generator, disconnect the equipment from its power
input.
• Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where the insulation is cracked,
cut abraded or otherwise degraded. Replace terminals that are worn, discolored, or corroded.
Keep terminals clean and tight.
• Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.
• Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
฀฀฀฀Personal Safety
• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a generator. Do
not use generator while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating generators may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts. 7

General Precautions
Personal Safety
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF” position and disconnect
the spark plug wire when not in use.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI approved safety impact eye
goggles. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
• Do not force the generator. Use the correct generator for your application. The correct generator
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use the generator if the power switch does not turn it on or off. Any generator that cannot
be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
Generator Use and Care
Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF” position and disconnect the spark plug wire before
making any adjustment, changing accessories, or storing the generator. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the generator accidentally.
Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Generators are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator. Tag damaged generators “Do not
use” until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the generator’s operation. If damaged, have the generator serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained generators.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one generator may become hazardous when used on another generator.

Installation
• Ensure installation meets all applicable safety, local and national electrical codes. Have
installation performed by a qualified, licensed electrician and building contractor.
• All electrical work, including the earth-ground connection, should be completed by a licensed
electrician.
• Any separate fuel storage or generator supply facility must be built or installed in full compliance
with all relevant local, state, and federal regulations.
• It is recommended to use the generator only in well ventilated, outdoor areas. A running
gasoline engine will generate carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that, if inhaled, can
cause serious injury or death. If the generator is installed indoors, exhaust fumes must be piped
out of the building using leak-free, heat resistant piping. Pipes and silencer should not use any
flammable materials, nor should they be installed near the same. Generator exhaust fumes
must be within legal limits and installation must always meet local building codes.
฀฀9Maintain labels and name plates on the generator and engine. These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Pulsar Products Inc. Immediately for a replacement.
