Adding Engine Oil
Failure to use the recommended 4-stroke engine oil may
result in engine damage, see page 39 for recommended
engine oil.
1. Place the generator on a flat, level surface. Remove
the maintenance cover (see “Maintenance,
Removing the Maintenance Cover”).
2. Remove the oil filler cap / dipstick (A).
3. Fill the engine crankcase with the specified amount
(20.3 ounces / 0.6 liters) of engine oil.
4. Insert the dipstick in the filler hole and tighten the
dipstick.
5. Remove the dipstick and verify that the oil level is at
the upper limit (B). Add additional oil and inspect the
level as needed until the upper limit has been
reached.
6. Re-install the dipstick (A). Use a clean shop rag to
clean any spilled oil.
7. Re-install the maintenance cover.
Fuel Recommendation
Polaris recommends the use of 87 octane fuel or higher.
Do not use fuel containing more than 10% ethanol. Do not
use fuel with lower than 87 octane rating.
IMPORTANT: Operating the generator with an
obstructed fuel system will result in serious engine
damage. Perform maintenance as recommended.
IMPORTANT: Thoroughly read “Safety” section and
all safety information when handling fuel.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive and can
cause serious injury. Stop the engine and keep heat,
sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Do not spill fuel when filling the fuel tank. Damage
caused by spilled fuel is not covered under warranty.
Spilled fuel is a fire hazard, causes environmental
damage, and can damage paint and plastic. Wipe up
spills immediately. Don’t fill above bottom of strainer.
Refuel in a well ventilated area before starting the en-
gine. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool.
Never refuel the engine inside a building where va-
pors may reach flames or sparks. Keep fuel vapors
away from electrical appliances.
