FIRST USE INSTRUCTIONS
Fuel Recommendation
POLARIS recommends the use of 91 octane fuel or higher. Do not use
fuel containing more than 10% ethanol. Do not use petrol containing
methanol.
IMPORTANT: Operating the generator with an obstructed fuel system will
result in serious engine damage. Perform maintenance as recommended.
IMPORTANT: Thoroughly read “Safety” section and all safety information
when handling fuel.
IMPORTANT: In order to insure the optimum output and the maximum
service life of the generator, the generator should run at a 50% load for the
first 20 hours.
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive and can cause serious injury.
Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only
outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately.
Do not spill fuel when filling the fuel tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel
is not covered under warranty. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard, causes
environmental damage, and can damage paint and plastic. Wipe up spills
immediately. Do not fill above bottom of strainer.
Refuel in a well ventilated area before starting the engine. If the engine has
been running, allow it to cool.
Never refuel the engine inside a building where vapors may reach flames
or sparks. Keep fuel vapors away from electrical appliances.
