PRESIDIO
Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death.
Follow all instructions in this section as well as the ones outlined in the generator
operator’s manual.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure to read and understand the generator owner’s manual before
operating the generator. Observe all operating instructions and warnings as well as all
recommended maintenance schedules and procedures.
The onboard generator allows the motorhome to be fully self-contained. It provides access to
120 Volt A/C when shore power is unavailable, but keep in mind that when in use the
generator exhausts deadly carbon monoxide gas! NEVER sleep in the motorhome with the
generator running! Before you start and use the generator inspect the exhaust system. Do not
use the generator if the exhaust system is damaged. Test the carbon monoxide detector every
time you use the motorhome. Know what the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are:
• Dizziness
• Vomiting
• Nausea
• Muscular twitching
• Intense headache
• Throbbing in the temples
• Weakness and sleepiness
• Inability to think coherently
If you or anyone else experience any of these symptoms get to fresh air immediately. Shut the
generator down and do not operate it until it has been inspected and repaired by a
professional. If the symptoms persist seek medical attention.
1. DO NOT operate the generator while sleeping. You would not be aware of
exhaust entering the motorhome, or alert to symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning.
2. Never store anything in the generator compartment. Always keep the
compartment clean and dry.
3. DO NOT operate the generator in an enclosed building or in a partly enclosed
area such as a garage.
4. Review the safety precautions for fuel and exhaust fumes elsewhere in this
manual.
5. DO NOT operate the generator when the motorhome is parked in high grass or
brush. Heat from the exhaust could case a fire in dry conditions.
