A few recommendations if this is your first generator / outdoor power equipment with this kind of 212/224cc Honda clone motor.
Fill with the provided oil. Before turning the master switch to run, slowly pull the recoil starter a few times to get a little bit of lubrication on everything. run for 5 minutes, drain it and marvel at all the metal shavings left from the factory (completely normal on these engines). A suction style fluid exchanger makes this super easy.
Refill with some new oil, run for an hour, drain and refill. Recommend going for a higher zinc oil like valvoline vr1, driven, Mobil 1 classic car, etc… during break in.
Run for 3-4 hours with varying loads, switching eco mode on and off, etc. Stay below half load if you can. Drain oil and refill with a synthetic oil of your choosing. I like a euro 0w40 or 5w40 in these to cover hot and cold weather here in the Midwest, but those usually aren't a spec from the manual so caveat emptor.
If this is purely an emergency / backup source for you, do the break in on propane. No risk of old gas gumming up the carburetor if you do that. Otherwise, highly recommend ethanol free recreation fuel and stabil if this is something you use only occasionally. If you're running it daily/weekly for work and going through tanks of fuel every week/month… your run of the mill 87 octane gas is fine.
These come with garbage spark plugs from the factory that often fail or cause hard starting within the first 20-30 hours. Get an NGK BPR6ES from rockauto or a local parts store for ~$5 and don't worry about it for at least a few hundred hours (also sold under Honda brand name at a lot of big box retailers like Home Depot or Lowe's). Amazon is filled with fake spark plugs and I'd avoid them as a source.
Community Reviews
This Pulsar dual fuel inverter generator stands out as a 6,000 watt, 240 volt backup power option with remote start, especially for homes, well pumps, mini splits, and outage use. The dual fuel setup is handy for propane storage and avoids some gas maintenance, and the price drew strong interest as a solid value for the wattage. Reported drawbacks include heavy weight at 98 pounds, loud operation around 67 decibels, and some concern about the CO sensor and outlet compatibility. A practical pick if you need higher output and 240 volt capability.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. It has a 240V L14-50R receptacle, and the 240V output is specifically useful for well pumps, small HVAC, EV charging, and whole-home backup through an interlock or inlet. The 14-50 outlet also supports higher amperage than a 14-30 connection.
Yes, it has an automatic CO minder/CO sensor. The concern is that the sensor could fail early and be an expensive repair, and it should not be relied on as a substitute for running the generator outdoors at least 8 feet from the home.
It can start on propane after a few push-button attempts, and the recommended break-in is about 5 hours at under 50% load followed by an oil change. One setup tip is to use the included oil carefully, since the 34 oz capacity is easy to overfill if poured all at once.
It is described as an inverter generator, but the photos look like an open-frame design. Open-frame inverter generators are common at larger sizes, and other listings also identify this model as an open-frame inverter generator.
It is reported at about 67 dB and described as very noisy for its size. That level is typical for a larger generator, so it may be noticeable during normal use.

This is my first gen, and plan running it exclusively on propane unless no other option.
Really don't wanna mess it up, so this sounds like a good way to start it off. Now to see how easy it is to change the oil.
