Pre-Start Checks
Prior to the fi rst 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.
WARNING:
Disable the Auto Gen Start feature
before servicing the generator.
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:
The generator may require priming. To
prime hold control switch in the OFF
position. Repeat if necessary. The diesel
generator fuel pick-up tube is cut to
approximately ¼ tank so as not to run
the main engine out of fuel.

switch in START position
until the generator starts.
Release switch. On diesel
models, the control switch
may flash up to 15 seconds,
indicating engine preheat.

WARNING:
Excessive cranking can overheat
and damage the starter motor. DO
NOT crank the engine more than 30
seconds at any one time. Wait at least
two minutes before resuming. If the
generator fails to start refer to the
manufacturer’s manual.
WARNING:
When the motorhome is parked,
position the dash air conditioner
vent control in the OFF position to
prevent exhaust gases from entering
the motorhome. The engine exhaust
contains Carbon Monoxide, which is
an odorless and colorless gas. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause
unconsciousness and/or death. Inspect
the exhaust system thoroughly before
starting the generator. DO NOT
block the exhaust pipe or situate the
motorhome where the exhaust may
accumulate either outside, underneath,
or inside the motorhome or any nearby
vehicles. Operate the generator only
when safe dispersion of exhaust can be
assured. Monitor the outside conditions
to be sure that the exhaust continues to
disperse safely.
WARNING:
When parking near high grass, hot
exhaust pipe or hot exhaust gases can
ignite the grass.
CAUTION:
An exhaust extension adds weight and
stresses the generator exhaust system.
Damage to the exhaust piping or
exhaust manifold can result allowing
Carbon Monoxide gases to accumulate
under or leak into the motorhome.
