Safety Warnings and Precautions

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.
