MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance
•Always stop the engine before servicing. Disconnect all devices and extension cords to avoid receiving an electrical shock.
•Periodic checks and maintenance are very important for keeping the generator in good condition.
•Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust, and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use POLARIS Genuine parts available from your POLARIS supplier.
•Before beginning any maintenance procedure, read the instructions for the entire procedure. During some procedures, potentially hazardous products may be used. Always follow the instructions and warnings on the product packaging.
