SAFETY
Safety Warnings and Precautions
Fire Safety
• Exhaust system components are very hot during and after use. Hot
components can cause burns and fire. Do not touch the hot exhaust
system components. Always keep combustible materials away from
the exhaust system.
• Ensure that any spilled fuel is properly wiped up prior to using the
generator as fuel vapors are flammable.
Extension Cord Information
• Read the manufacturer starting and running wattage details and
operating instructions for the device(s) and appliance(s) that will be
used. Often this information can be found in the owner's manual or on
specification decals on the device or appliance.
• POLARIS recommends using only U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc.) approved extension cords labeled with the use, size, and wattage
rating. Only use heavy-duty extension cords with a three-prong
(grounded) plug for your safety. Decide on what length extension
cord is required as cord length determines the extension cord gauge.
Remember, as the cord gets longer, the current capacity of the cord
decreases.
• Never use an extension cord designated as “indoor use only”
outdoors.
• Store all extension cords indoors when not in use. Outdoor conditions
can deteriorate a cord over time.
• Never keep an extension cord plugged in when not in use. The cord
will still conduct electricity until it is unplugged from the outlet.
• Before plugging an extension cord or power cord into the generator,
check the cord for any signs of damage.
Equipment Modifications
Modifying the generator by adding or removing any parts, components,
or any modifications not approved by POLARIS may void the warranty.
Such modifications may make the generator unsafe to operate and could
result in severe injury to operators and / or bystanders, as well as
damage to the generator. Some modifications may not be legal in your
area. If in doubt, contact your authorized POLARIS supplier.
