Thank you for purchasing your NorthStar portable generator! 

 

About Your Generator 

 

This engine-driven, portable generator is designed to provide up to 8000 Watts of 
electrical power 

(6600 watts continuous, 8000 watts surge).

 

  

It can supply power: 

 

1.  As a portable power source.  You can plug appliances directly into the generator’s 

electrical outlets.   

2.  As a back-up, standby power source for a building.  A licensed electrician can connect 

the generator to your building’s electrical system via the installation of an 

UL-approved 

transfer switch.

   (See the “Installation & Initial Set-up” section of this manual to learn 

more about specific requirements and precautions relating to wiring the generator to your 
building’s electrical system.)  

 

You must select a generator adequately sized for your power needs.

  You need to 

determine the power needs of all the appliances/tools you wish to power at the same time and 
choose a generator rated to provide at least that power level.  See the “Power Load Planning & 
Management” section of this manual to determine your specific power load requirements and 
then compare them to this generator’s rated capacity.  You must not overload the generator.  
Overloading will cause damage to the generator and attached electrical devices, and may also 
result in fire.

 

 

Be sure to read about site selection and grounding requirements for running this 
generator.  

More detailed information can be found in the “Installation & Initial Set-up, Steps 

5 & 6” of this manual. 

 

This generator is too heavy for one person to lift without mechanical assistance.

  An 

optional wheel kit is available from NorthStar and is recommended if you will be moving the 
generator unassisted.  Other optional accessories available from NorthStar include a vinyl 
cover for storage, UL-approved transfer switches, and extension cords. 

 

Contact NorthStar Product Support at 1-800-270-0810 with questions about optional 
accessories or to order. 

 

Read this Manual 

 

   WARNING 

 

Improper use or maintenance of this generator can result in 

serious injury or death 

from 

carbon monoxide poisoning, electric shock/electrocution, fire/explosion, or burns. 

  

Read this manual completely 

before using the generator and follow all instructions and 

safety rules. 

 

You must follow all instructions and safety precautions presented throughout this manual.  A 
summary of important safety information can be found at the end of the manual.  Keep this 
manual for reference and review.
