Importance of Maintenance

Good maintenance is essential for safe and economical operation. Proper maintenance will also help reduce air pollution.

To ensure the longevity of the generator, the following pages include a periodic maintenance schedule and inspection and maintenance procedures. Other, more difficult tasks, require special tools and expertise provided by a POLARIS technician or other qualified mechanic.

The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If the generator is operated under unusual conditions, such as sustained high load or high temperature, or dusty conditions, consult the servicing supplier for applicable recommendations.

To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new, POLARIS Genuine parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.

All necessary replacement parts and labor incurred, with the exception of authorized warranty repairs, become the responsibility of the registered owner. If, during the course of the warranty period, part failures occur as a result of owner neglect in performing recommended regular maintenance, the cost of repairs are the responsibility of the owner.
