When refueling there is always a possibility the fuel may be
contaminated. Contamination of fuel affects the performance of the
generator. Diesel fuel may contain water or a microbe growth (black slime).
Propane, due to the refining process, may contain lightweight oil. Any
contamination of fuel greatly reduces the total output of the generator and
may cause erratic AC output.
NOTE: The motorhome manufacturer does not cover damage to
the generator caused by fuel contamination, or to appliances due to
erratic AC voltage.
If a circuit breaker trips in the main AC breaker panel, or on the gener-
ator control panel, there may be a short circuit or too many loads.
NOTE: The generator will continue to run after a circuit
breaker trips.
If a circuit breaker trips, disconnect or turn off as many loads as possible.
To reset the circuit breaker, switch the circuit breaker to OFF ; then switch
back to ON to reconnect the circuit. If the circuit breaker immediately trips,
the electrical distribution system has a short or the circuit breaker is faulty.
Call a qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker does not trip, reconnect a
combination of loads that will not overload the generator or cause the circuit
breaker to trip again. Remember to compensate for elevation and temperature
changes when reconnecting loads.
NOTE: An appliance or load may
have a short if it causes a circuit
breaker to trip after reconnection.
DO NOT continue to reset
breaker. Have the problem
corrected before resuming
operation.
