Safety Warnings and Precautions

Electrical Safety

This generator produces high voltage electricity.
• The generator produces enough electric power to cause serious shock
or electrocution if misused.
• Always connect the generator to a suitable ground circuit.
• When servicing the generator, disconnect the spark plug wire and
place it where it cannot contact the plug. Turn the engine switch to the
OFF position.
• Do not check for a spark with the plug removed. Use only approved
spark plug testers.
• Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as
rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands
are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the generator dry and
away from all sources of moisture.
• Do not store the generator outdoors unprotected from the weather.
• If the Generator has been subjected to water, moisture, or ice check
all of the electrical components on the control panel before each use.
Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short circuit in electrical
components that could result in electrocution.
• Do not connect the generator to a building's electrical system unless
an isolation switch has been installed that meets applicable electrical
codes and regulations.
• To avoid overloading the generator, ensure that the load is kept within
the rating stated on the generator. Overloading will damage the unit
and / or shorten its operating lifespan.
• Both the P1000i and P2000i can be paralleled with another P1000i or
P2000i using the POLARIS parallel kit.
• Do not over charge a battery with the DC receptacle, over charging
the battery may result in battery damage and potential ignite if a spark
is introduced.
