SECTION 6
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - 30 AMP
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 genset immediately if there is
a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak and
have it repaired!
To start the generator manually
1. A remote start/stop switch is located
inside the motorhome. A second start/stop
switch is located on the generator.
2. Press the operation control switch to start
the generator. (Depending on how cold it
is, preheat can take up to 15 seconds.)
3. The hour meter will monitor minutes of
usage when the generator is running.
For top performance and engine life,
especially in colder weather, let the genset
engine warm up for two minutes before
connecting (turning ON) appliances.
Maintenance
With the exception of simple items such as
normal maintenance (i.e., oil changes, etc.),
all service work should be done by a repair
facility authorized by the generator OEM.
Improper adjustments can damage the
generator and electrical appliances, and can
result in a safety hazard. If any discrepancy or
problem is noted, contact your dealer for
assistance.

Your RV is equipped with a factory-installed
inverter that converts 12-volt DC current to
120-volt AC current. It is important that you
familiarize yourself with the inverter function
and operation. The inverter should be OFF
when not in use.
The factory-installed inverter is not
intended for use with medical device(s).

There may be a 12-volt DC outlet (not
applicable on all models) in your RV. When
the 12-volt DC outlet socket is used as a
power source for an electric appliance, make
sure that the electric appliance operates at
12-volts and has an electric capacity of 60 (5
amps) watts or less. Cap the 12-volt DC outlet
when it is not in use as the socket might
become clogged by foreign material and
become short-circuited.
CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY!
Do
not run the genset when your motorhome
is indoors or in a confined space.
Asphyxiation or carbon monoxide
poisoning hazards exist whenever
generator exhaust gasses can accumulate.
Excessive cranking can overheat and
damage the genset starter motor. Do not
crank for more than 20 seconds at a time.
Wait at least two minutes before trying
again. If the genset does not start after the
third try, refer to the generator OEM
manual for more information.
