Maintenance Safety

Personal safety is critical when attempting to service the generator. Improperly installed or adjusted components can make the generator unstable or dangerous. Improperly installed electrical components can cause engine or electrical systems failure. In either event, damage or serious injury could result. If you do not have the time, tools, and/or expertise necessary to complete a procedure properly, please see your POLARIS supplier for service.

Failure to correct a problem before operation and improper maintenance can cause a malfunction resulting in injury or death. Always follow the inspection and maintenance schedules and requirements in this manual.

The following important safety precautions cannot warn of every possible hazard from maintenance. The decision to perform a given task must be evaluated by the individual performing it.

Safety Precautions

Read the safety section of this manual.

Ensure the engine is off before performing any maintenance or repairs. This should minimize the potential for exposure to the following hazards:

•Fuel and fire - Avoid flames, sparks, and smoking during service.

•Carbon monoxide poisoning - Avoid indoor operation of engine and stay away from open windows and doors.

•Burns - Allow the engine and exhaust system to cool before touching. Exercise caution when working around hazardous materials.

•Injury from moving parts - Avoid running the engine unless specifically instructed.

Follow the instructions and ensure the required tools are used.

Exercise caution when working around petrol to reduce the possibility of fire or explosion. Use only non-flammable solvents to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-related components.
