GENERATORS
If a generator is fitted the vehicle must be regularly serviced
to achieve the optimum performance. Engine speed is used
to govern the output and frequency of the unit in KW and Hz,
and if this is allowed to vary beyond a safe level, permanent
damage could be caused to certain electronic equipment
such as 12 V chargers etc.
IMPORTANT
Periodically, preferably not less than once a year, the motor
home electrical installation should be inspected and tested.
A report on the condition should be obtained as described
in the Regulations for Electrical Installations, published by
the Institute of Electrical Engineers. It is important that the
main switch at the site point should be switched off, the
supply flexible cable disconnected and any cover replaced
on the socket outlet at the site supply point. It is dangerous
to leave the supply flexible cable connected.
If a fault should develop with your electrical system that is
not described in the ‘fault table’ and your supplying dealer
cannot resolve the problem, Sargent Electrical systems
operate a telephone help line that is available during
normal office hours.
