OPERATION
Do not allow starter grip to snap back against the
generator. Return it gently to prevent damage to the
starter.
8. If the choke knob was positioned to CLOSE to start
the engine, move it to OPEN as the engine warms up.
9. After a 2 to 3-minute warm up, select ON or OFF on
the SMART throttle switch as desired.
10. If connecting loads to generator, reference “AC
Operation” or “DC Operation” as outlined later in this
chapter.
Stopping the Engine
Continually stopping the generator with a load
applied can lead to damage of the control module.
In case of emergency, position the engine switch to OFF
to stop the engine. Under normal conditions, perform the
following procedure.
1. Shut off or disconnect all appliances connected to the
generator.
2. Position the ignition switch to OFF.
3. Shut off the fuel.
AC Operation
Before connecting a device or power cord to the gen-
erator, ensure it is in good condition. Faulty applianc-
es or power cords can create a potential for electrical
shock.
If an appliance begins to operate abnormally,
becomes sluggish, or suddenly stops, immediately
shut it off. Disconnect the appliance and determine
whether the problem is the appliance or if the rated
load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
Ensure the combined electrical rating of the device or
appliance does not exceed the maximum allowed by
the generator. Never exceed the maximum power rat-
ing of the generator. Do not exceed the current limit
specified for any one receptacle. Power levels be-
tween rated and maximum may be used for no more
than 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting a device or power
cord to the generator, ensure the device is in good
condition and its electrical rating does not exceed the
maximum allowed by the generator.
NOTE: When the electric motor starts, the overload
indicator (middle light) may illuminate (RED) and
extinguish within 4 seconds. If the overload
indicator remains illuminated, consult your Polaris
dealer.
1. Perform “Starting the Engine” (page 18) and ensure
that the output indicator (A) illuminates (GREEN).
