Safe Operating Precautions

DC Operation

Connecting the Battery Charging Cable (included)

1.Position the SMART throttle switch to OFF.

2.Disconnect the vehicle ground cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

3.Plug the battery charging cable into the DC receptacle. See page 19.

4.Connect the red lead of the battery charging cable to the positive (+) battery terminal and then the black lead to negative (-) battery terminal.

Start the generator

Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable is connected and the generator is running. The vehicle’s charging system or the generator may be damaged.

An overloaded DC circuit, excessive current draw by the battery, or a wiring problem will trip the DC circuit fuse. If this happens, The fuse must be replaced before the DC receptacle is operative. Replace the fuse with one of the same size and rating (5 amp). Exceeding the current rating may lead to alternator damage. If the DC circuit protector fuse continues to trip, discontinue charging and see your authorized POLARIS generator supplier.

The circuit protector does not prevent overcharging the battery. Over charging the battery may result in battery damage and potential ignite if a spark is introduced.
