Transfer Switch
The transfer switch will automatically transfer AC power from the shore power cord
or generator through the transfer switch to the 30 Amp 120 Volt AC breaker panel or
the 50 Amp 120/240 Volt AC breaker panel (depending on floor plan and options). In
the event both shore and generator power are available, generator power will override
shore power after a 30 second delay. This allows the generator time to warm up before
applying an AC load. Once the generator is shut down, shore power will be available
after a two second delay. Plug sensitive electronic equipment (such as laptops) into a
surge protector.
CAUTION:
The transfer switch does not have a surge protection or high/low voltage
cutout.
NOTE:
The shore cord is not electrically connected to the generator. When the
generator is operating, the electrical contacts of the shore cord are not
electrically energized.
NOTE:
To prevent damage to the transfer switch contacts do not have appliances on
or AC loads plugged into outlets when hooking up to shore power or starting
the generator. The transfer switch will begin to disengage at approximately 90
Volts AC. Operation at this voltage may damage the transfer switch, appliances
or other items plugged into outlets. Start the generator and disconnect from
shore service until the shore service supply voltage stabilizes.
generator - 120 volt ac (optIonal)
Depending on options, the generator is either 4.0 Kw or 5.5 Kw. The generator is located in a curbside compartment. The
generator can be started from the following locations:
Generator remote switch on the dash.
Generator control panel located on the generator.
Requirement for Operation:
House battery power must be On.
Prior to the first start of the day, perform a general inspection including oil and coolant levels. Keep a
maintenance log on number of hours in operation since the last service. Perform any service or maintenance that
may be due.
Before Starting the Generator:
Clear people and animals from hazards of electrical shock and moving parts.
All appliances and other large AC electrical loads must be
OFF
.
NOTE:
If the generator cranks but does not readily start, the generator may require priming. Hold the Start/
Stop switch to the to the Stop position to prime. Repeat if necessary. The generator fuel pick-up tube
is cut to approximately ¼ tank to prevent the generator from depleting the fuel supply for the engine
of the motorhome.
