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.
