The factory-installed generator will produce 120-volt AC power for use when camping in
areas where shore power is unavailable. 120-volt power from the generator is output to the
AC distribution center by way of a factory-installed automatic transfer switch. In the
default mode, the automatic transfer switch connects the generator to the AC distribution
center when the generator is operating and shore power is disconnected.
Be aware the generator, when operating, gives off carbon monoxide.

NOTE: Refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for detailed operating and safety
information.
Before starting the generator
1. Make sure the carbon monoxide detector is working.
2.
Turn “off” air conditioners and all other appliances.
3. Check for fuel, exhaust and coolant leaks.
STOP the generator immediately if there is a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak and have it
repaired!
To start the generator manually
