Electrical Systems
Generator Cooling System
The generator is liquid cooled. The cooling
system includes a radiator, cooling fan,
water pump, a coolant reservoir/recovery
container, and is similar to an automotive
engine cooling system.
Check and maintain the coolant level at the
coolant recovery container located on the front
of the generator.
Generator Slide-Out
(If Equipped)
The generator may be mounted on a
slide-out cradle.
Generator Maintenance
Refer to the generator manufacturer’s information
in the Owner’s Information Package for details
on generator operation and maintenance.
Automatic Generator Start
Control System
(If Equipped)
The Automatic Generator Start Control System
(AGS) performs two distinct functions:
1. Start the auxiliary generator
automatically in response to low battery
voltage.
*The AGS continuously monitors the
coach battery system and will start the
generator automatically when one “bar” is
displayed on the battery level indicator.
2. Start the auxiliary generator
automatically in response to air
conditioning requests.
*The AGS continuously monitors the
thermostat of the air conditioning system
and starts the auxiliary generator, if
the temperature rises to the preset level
requiring conditioning .
Main Features
(Automatic Gen. Start)
Easy to use push button operation controls all
functions of the AGS.
Time is indicated to the hour by an internal real
time clock. Quiet time periods can be entered
in hours to prevent automatic operation of the
auxiliary generator during inappropriate times.
Hours may be set either for AM or PM.
A Time Zone indicator is provided for easy
changing of local time when traveling .
NOTE
For detailed information on how to use the Automatic
Generator Start Control System see the Owner’s
Information Package.

CAUTION
Do not check the coolant system at the radiator cap
when the generator is hot. Check the system at the
coolant recovery container only.
!
WARNING
Keep all obstacles and body parts clear of the gen-
erator and slide-out mechanism when extending or
retracting the generator.
!
WARNING
Exhaust gases are deadly. Inspect the genera-
tor exhaust system thoroughly before starting the
generator engine. Do not block the tail pipe or situ-
ate the motor home in a place where the exhaust
gases have any possibility of accumulating either
outside, underneath, or inside your vehicle or any
nearby vehicles. Outside air movements can carry
exhaust gases inside the vehicle through windows or
other openings remote from the generator exhaust.
Operate the generator only when safe dispersion of
exhaust gases can be assured, and monitor outside
conditions to be sure that exhaust gases continue to
be dispersed safely.
