generator. Consult the OEM manual for operator programming information.
2. The AGS system is enabled by pressing the AUTO GEN key followed by pressing
the ENTER key on the face of the Energy Command control panel. You will be asked
to momentarily turn the chassis ignition switch “on” and back “off” to complete the
enabling process.
3. Once enabled the AGS system will be disabled the next time the chassis ignition key is
cycled to either the “on” or “off” position. The AGS may be manually re-enabled after
an ignition key cycle.
4. The AGS system, when enabled, and with the above conditions met, can start and stop
the generator according to:
Front air conditioner call to run
Rear air conditioner call to run
Coach battery low charge level
Coach battery charge level prior to camp ground quiet time (when AGS is set
to quiet time ON mode)
Maintenance
Follow the generator owner’s manual for maintenance intervals and recommendations.
During periods of extended storage:
1. Add a diesel fuel additive to the chassis fuel tank to prevent algae growth.
2. Completely fill the chassis diesel fuel tank to prevent water condensation and rust in
the tank.
3. Cover the end of the generator exhaust pipe with screen to prevent bug and rodent
intrusion.
With the exception of simple items, such as normal maintenance (i.e., oil changes, etc.),
all service work should be done by an authorized repair facility. Improper adjustments can
damage the generator and electrical appliances and can result in a safety hazard.
Exercising Your Generator
– it’s also very important to run your generator regularly,
to keep everything in good working order and in the case of gasoline sets, to avoid fuel
varnishing, which can affect performance, if the generator is stored for an extended time.
Lack of exercise can cause moisture build-up and fuel system degradation that make it run
poorly. In fact, in as little as 30 days, the fuel in gasoline-powered generators can begin to
gum and varnish the fuel system. Fuel varnishing results in hard starting and surging. (A
surging generator never settles at a stable operating speed.)
To prevent such problems, it is recommended to run gasoline generators at a minimum
of 50 percent capacity (2000-watts, or one air conditioner for a 4000-watt set) for two
hours once every four weeks. This is necessary to help keep moving parts lubricated, expel
moisture and control fuel varnishing in the carburetor. A long two-hour exercise period is
preferable to several short periods. While traveling, this can be accomplished by running the
air conditioning.
If any discrepancy or problem is noted, contact your dealer for assistance.
