Safety Information
Operating a generator safely is paramount. Always follow these general safety guidelines and refer to the complete safety section in your printed manual for detailed instructions and warnings.
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) Hazard: Generators produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Operate the generator outdoors only, far away from windows, doors, and vents. The NE27BISCO is equipped with a CO Sentry sensor that automatically shuts off the generator if harmful levels of carbon monoxide are detected.
- Fire Hazard: Gasoline and propane are highly flammable. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool. Do not smoke or allow open flames near the generator.
- Electrical Shock Hazard: Do not operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly grounded.
- Hot Surfaces: The generator's engine and muffler become very hot during operation and remain hot for some time after shutdown. Avoid contact with hot surfaces.

Setup
Before first use, proper setup is crucial for safe and efficient operation.
1. Unpacking and Inspection:
Carefully remove the generator from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Ensure all included accessories (e.g., oil funnel, spark plug wrench, propane hose) are present.
2. Adding Engine Oil:
The generator is shipped without engine oil. It is essential to add the correct type and amount of oil before starting. Refer to the specifications section for recommended oil type and capacity.
- Place the generator on a level surface.
- Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick.
- Using the provided funnel, slowly pour the recommended oil into the oil fill opening until it reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
- Securely replace the oil fill cap/dipstick.
Note: The generator features a low oil shutdown sensor that will prevent the engine from starting or will shut it off if oil levels are too low, protecting the engine from damage.
3. Fueling the Generator:
This is a dual-fuel generator, capable of running on gasoline or propane (LPG).
For Gasoline Operation:
- Ensure the generator is off and cool.
- Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
- Open the fuel tank cap and carefully fill the tank, leaving space for expansion. Do not overfill.
- Securely close the fuel tank cap.
For Propane (LPG) Operation:
- Connect the provided propane hose to the generator's LPG inlet and to a standard propane tank.
- Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Slowly open the valve on the propane tank.

4. Grounding the Generator:
For safety, the generator must be properly grounded. Connect a ground wire from the generator's ground terminal to an appropriate grounding rod or approved grounding source.
Operation
Starting the Generator:
Ensure the generator is on a level surface, outdoors, and away from any enclosed spaces.
For Gasoline Start:
- Ensure the fuel source switch is set to "GAS".
- Move the choke lever to the "CHOKE" position.
- Turn the engine switch to "ON".
- Pull the recoil starter handle firmly until the engine starts.
- Once the engine starts, slowly move the choke lever to the "RUN" position.
For Propane (LPG) Start:
- Ensure the propane tank valve is fully open.
- Ensure the fuel source switch is set to "LPG".
- Move the choke lever to the "CHOKE" position.
- Turn the engine switch to "ON".
- Pull the recoil starter handle firmly until the engine starts.
- Once the engine starts, slowly move the choke lever to the "RUN" position.
Connecting Electrical Loads:
Once the generator is running stably, you can connect your electrical devices to the AC 120V 20A duplex plug, USB-A, USB-C, or DC 12V 8A outlets. Do not exceed the generator's rated wattage.
Economy Mode:
The Economy Mode switch, when engaged, allows the engine speed to automatically adjust to the load, improving fuel efficiency and reducing noise levels. For sensitive electronics or light loads, activate Economy Mode. For heavy loads or starting high-demand appliances, turn Economy Mode off.
Parallel Capability:
The Pulsar NE27BISCO generator is equipped with parallel connectors, allowing you to link it with another compatible Pulsar inverter generator to double your power output. Refer to the parallel kit instructions for detailed setup.

Stopping the Generator:
- Disconnect all electrical loads.
- Turn the engine switch to "OFF".
- If operating on propane, close the valve on the propane tank.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your generator. Always perform maintenance with the engine off and cool.
Routine Checks:
- Engine Oil: Check oil level before each use. Change oil according to the maintenance schedule in the full manual.
- Air Filter: Inspect and clean the air filter regularly. Replace if damaged.
- Spark Plug: Inspect the spark plug periodically. Clean or replace as needed.
- Fuel Filter: Check and clean/replace the fuel filter as recommended.
The integrated digital hour meter helps you track operating hours to plan maintenance intervals effectively.
Storage:
For extended storage, prepare the generator to prevent fuel degradation and engine damage.
- Drain the gasoline from the fuel tank and carburetor, or use a fuel stabilizer.
- If using propane, disconnect the propane tank.
- Change the engine oil.
- Clean the exterior of the generator.
- Store in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area.
