SAFETY

Fire Safety

Generator exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite
some materials and burn skin if touched.
• Keep the generator away from buildings, other
equipment, and combustible materials during
operation.
• Do not enclose the generator in any structure.
• Keep children and pets away from generator.
• Exhaust system components are very hot during
and after use. Hot components can cause burns
and fire. Do not touch the hot exhaust system
components. Always keep combustible materials
away from the exhaust system.
• Ensure that any spilled fuel is properly wiped up
prior to using the generator as fuel vapors are
flammable.

Extension Cord Information

• Read the manufacturer starting and running
wattage details and operating instructions for the
device(s) and appliance(s) that will be used. Often
this information can be found in the owner's
manual or on specification decals on the device or
appliance.
• Polaris recommends using only U.L. (Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc.) approved extension cords
labeled with the use, size, and wattage rating.
Only use heavy-duty extension cords with a three-
prong (grounded) plug for your safety. Decide on
what length extension cord is required as cord
length determines the extension cord gauge.
Remember, as the cord gets longer, the current
capacity of the cord decreases.
• Never use an extension cord designated as
"indoor use only" outdoors.
• Store all extension cords indoors when not in use.
Outdoor conditions can deteriorate a cord over
time.
• Never keep an extension cord plugged in when not
in use. The cord will still conduct electricity until it
is unplugged from the outlet.
• Before plugging an extension cord or power cord
into the generator, check the cord for any signs of
damage.

Equipment Modifications

Modifying the generator by adding or removing any parts,
components, or any modifications not approved by Polar-
is may void the warranty. Such modifications may make
the generator unsafe to operate and could result in se-
vere injury to operators and / or bystanders, as well as
damage to the generator. Some modifications may not be
legal in your area. If in doubt, contact your authorized Po-
laris dealer.
