Electrical Safety
This generator produces high voltage electricity.
The generator produces enough electric power to cause serious shock
or electrocution if misused.
Always connect the generator to a suitable ground circuit.
When servicing the generator, disconnect the spark plug wire and
place it where it cannot contact the plug. Turn the engine switch to the
OFF position.
Do not check for a spark with the plug removed. Use only approved
spark plug testers.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as
rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands
are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry and
away from all sources of moisture.
Do not store the generator outdoors unprotected from the weather.
If the Generator has been subjected to water, moisture, or ice check
all of the electrical components on the control panel before each use.
Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical
components that could result in electrocution.
Do not connect the generator to a building’s electrical system unless
an isolation switch has been installed that meets applicable electrical
codes and regulations.
To avoid overloading the generator, ensure that the load is kept within
the rating stated on the generator. Overloading will damage the unit
and / or shorten its operating lifespan.
Both the P1000i and P2000i can be paralleled with another P1000i or
P2000i using the POLARIS parallel kit.
Do not over charge a battery with the DC receptacle, over charging
the battery may result in battery damage and potential ignite if a spark
is introduced.
