Operating Range of the Generator
• Ambient air temperature: 23F–104F (-5 ~ 40°C)
• Relative humidity <95%
• Recommended elevation <5,000 feet (1,500m) reduced
power at >3,300 feet (1,000 m)
Ideal Atmospheric Conditions
• Ambient air temperature: 77F (25°C)
• Relative humidity: 30%
• Atmospheric pressure: 1,000 millibars
Standard Deration:
• Every 9°F (5°C) increase in ambient air temperature will
reduce generator output by about 2%
• Every 30% of increase in relative humidity of air will reduce
generator output by about 1.5%
• Every 1,000 feet, (300m) elevation increase will reduce
generator output by about 4.5%
Even when not in use the generator is potentially
hazardous. Follow the checklist below before starting the
generator. If any problems are found, do not use the
generator until it has been repaired by an authorized
Pulsar Products service center.
