PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
NOTE: Always perform the recommended pre-
operation inspections before each use. Always
perform the inspections at the beginning of a project
and when removing the generator from storage.
Failure to perform the recommended pre-operation
inspections could result in minor or moderate injury
or property damage. When inspection reveals the
need for adjustment, replacement, or repair, perform
service promptly or visit your authorized Polaris
dealer for assistance.
Pre-Operation Checklist
Remove the maintenance cover (see “Maintenance,
Removing the Maintenance Cover”) to expose the
generator inner components.
Engine Oil
Perform “Oil Level Inspection” (see “Maintenance,
Engine Oil”). Add oil as needed.
Fuel Line
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.
Inspect the fuel hose for cracks or damage. Replace as
needed.
Fuel Level
Check the fuel level and refuel as needed (see
“Operation, Refueling”).
Exhaust System
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be
very hot. Allow the muffler to cool before servicing.
Inspect the exhaust system for leakage. Tighten or re-
place the gasket as needed.
Carburetor
Inspect the choke knob operation.
Air Filters
Inspect the air filters (see “Maintenance, Air Filters”).
Clean or replace as needed.
