Power Management; Charging A 12 Volt Battery; Cold Weather Operation - Pulsar PG6580E Manual De Instrucciones

Hour Meter (See Fig 15)
The digital hour meter operates whenever the engine is running and keeps track of how many hours the unit has been used.
Use this meter along with the manual to determine when and what type of service on the unit is needed. The display will
show the word "P25" at the first 25 hours of operation and again at every 100 hours of operation after.

Power Management

Start engine without anything connected to generator.
•
• When engine has stabilized, plug in and turn on first load. It is strongly recommended to plug in devices with the largest
power requirement first and the smallest power requirement last to help prevent overloading the generator.
•
Allow generator output to stabilize (engine and attached devices run evenly) before plugging in the next load.
Charging a 12 Volt Battery (See Fig 16)
This generator can be used to charge a 12 volt automotive or storage battery by taking the following steps:
• Use a wire brush to clean battery terminals if corroded.
• Connect the Battery Charging Cable Connection Plug to the 12 Volt D.C. Receptacle.
• Connect the red cable clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal.
• Connect the black cable clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal.
• Start generator engine. Let engine run while battery charges.
• Battery is considered fully charged when the static DC voltage reads 12.7 or above.

Cold Weather Operation

Under humid conditions where temperatures drop to 40ºF (4ºC) the carburetor and/or crankcase breather system may begin
to freeze. To prevent icing take the following steps:
1. Replace any old fuel with clean, fresh fuel.
2. Use synthetic SAE 5W-30 engine oil. Check oil daily or after every 8 hours of use.
3. Ensure generator is serviced according to the maintenance schedule under "Maintenance" section of manual.
4. Shelter unit from elements.
