12

SAFETY

USING ALCOHOL OR DRUGS

WARNING

Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while

operating this generator.

Operating this generator after consuming alcohol or

drugs could adversely affect operator judgment.

CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY

WARNING

Generator exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) vapors. Exposure to

Carbon Monoxide by people or pets can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.

ALWAYS operate generator according to all warning and instruction labels and

this manual.

• This portable generator runs on gasoline. The generator exhaust vapor

contains carbon monoxide (CO).

• Carbon monoxide is odorless. You cannot smell it.

• Carbon monoxide is colorless. You cannot see it.

• The generator is for outdoor use only. Never run the generator in an enclosed

area. Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide vapor that can cause

loss of consciousness or death. Operate the generator in an open, and well

ventilated area.

• Do not use the generator indoors in garages, basements, crawl spaces,

sheds, portable buildings, or similar areas even if doors and windows are

open or if ventilating fans are used to circulate air.

• Do not use the generator near windows, doors, vents or any other building

openings even if they are closed. Poor seals on a door, as one example,

could still permit high levels of carbon monoxide to infiltrate the living area of a

home.

• Be sure to install approved carbon monoxide detectors in your home that

have battery back-up systems that will continue to detect the presence of

carbon monoxide during electric-power outages. Test these devices and

replace batteries as recommended by their respective manufacturers.

IMPORTANT

If you experience a headache, fatigue, nausea / vomiting, confusion, or

seizures, immediately get to fresh air and away from the unit. Do not delay for

any reason.

13

SAFETY

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

DANGER

This generator produces high voltage electricity sufficient to cause death by

electrocution.

• 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 severe shock or electrocution. Keep the generator dry and away from

all sources of moisture.

• If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check all

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 load is kept within the rated power

range stated on the generator. Overloading will damage the unit and / or

shorten its operating lifespan.

SAFETY

EXTENSION CORD USE

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.

CHOOSING A PROPER EXTENSION CORD

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 outdoors that is designated as “indoor use only”.

EXTENSION CORD SAFETY

Your generator is equipped with optional cord holder hooks

q

for storage of an

extension cord. See for assembly instructions.

Store all extension cords indoors when

not in use. Outdoor conditions can

deteriorate a cord over time.

Before plugging an extension cord or

power cord into the generator, check

the cord for signs of damage.

CAUTION

Do not store an extension cord on the generator while the generator is in use.

Hot surfaces from the engine could result in damage to the cord. Wait until

generator has been turned off and cooled before storing an extension cord on

the hooks.

IMPORTANT

The cord will still conduct electricity until it is unplugged from the outlet.

15

SAFETY

FIRE SAFETY

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do

not smoke or allow flames or sparks where generator is refueled or where

gasoline is stored. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine OFF.

CAUTION

Generator exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials and burn

skin if touched.

• Keep the generator at least 3 feet (1 m) 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.

EXPOSURE TO EXHAUST

WARNING

Exhaust fumes from your generator are poisonous and can cause loss of

consciousness or death in a short time. Never start the generator or let it run in

an enclosed area. Only operate this generator while outdoors.

16

SAFETY

HOT EXHAUST SYSTEMS

WARNING

Exhaust system components are very hot during and after use of the machine.

Hot components can cause burns and fire. Do not touch hot exhaust system

components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust

system.

Use caution when operating near tall grass, especially dry grass. Always

inspect the exterior of the generator and areas near the exhaust system before

and after use. Promptly remove any grass, debris, or foreign matter clinging to

the generator. Pay particular attention to the exhaust system area.

NOTICE

Do not apply the storage cover to the generator while the engine components

are still hot. Wait until generator has sufficiently cooled before covering.

17

SAFETY

RUNNING GENERATORS IN PARALLEL

WARNING

Only connect in parallel with a Polaris Power P3200iE or P2000i generator with

an approved parallel cable (sold separately). Attempting to connect other

brands or models will void your warranty and could cause severe injury.

EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS

Your POLARIS generator is designed to provide safe operation when used as

directed. Modifications to your generator may negatively impact generator

stability. Failure of critical machine components may result from operation with

any modifications, especially those that increase power.

Do not install any non-POLARIS-approved accessory or modify the generator

for the purpose of increasing power output. Any modifications or installation of

non-POLARIS-approved accessories could create a substantial safety hazard

and increase the risk of bodily injury.

Modifying the generator by adding or removing any parts, components, or any

modifications not approved by Polaris may void the warranty. Such modifications

may make the generator unsafe to operate and could result in severe injury to

operators and bystanders, as well as damage to the generator. Some

modifications may not be legal in your area. If in doubt, contact your authorized

POLARIS dealer.
