Periodic Maintenance
• Always stop the engine before servicing.
Disconnect all devices and extension cords to
avoid receiving an electrical shock.
• Periodic checks and maintenance are very
important for keeping the generator in good
condition.
• Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust, and replace parts
as necessary. When inspection reveals the need
for replacement parts, use Polaris Genuine parts
available from your Polaris dealer.
• Before beginning any maintenance procedure,
read the instructions for the entire procedure.
During some procedures, potentially hazardous
products may be used. Always follow the
instructions and warnings on the product
packaging.
