These brief operation instructions are for quick reference only. Any quick start instructions provided should
not take the place of the complete Operation Manual provided by this item's manufacturer.
Your
generator may be
located in a side compartment or in the front of the coach in
between the frame rails of the
chassis. Some generators
are
mounted on slides for easy access andmay need to
be unlocked before free movement is
allowed.
The generator is wired into the Automatic Transfer Switch and will power all of the 120 volt circuits in your coach.
The main breakers for the output legs are located on the generator start panel.
Maintaining the Generator
Before starting your generator
for the first time each day, and subsequently after each eight-hour run cycle, perform the
following checks
to make sure it is ready to be used.
1. Make sure the carbon monoxide detectors in your unit are working.
2. Check for signs of fuel or exhaust leaks.
3. Make sure there is adequate clearance around the generator for proper ventilation. Also check for sloping
ground or any other obstructions that may have occurred. Tall grass or other items that come in contact with the
generator may interfere with ventilation or cause a fire.
4. Check the oil and coolant levels, and inspect for leaks.
5. Check the battery connections to make sure they are tight and clear of corrosion.
6. Inspect the generator compartment for road debris or damage that might affect the performance or safety.
7. Turn off major appliances (such as air conditioners, televisions, and other electronics that may excessively load
the generator or may be sensitive to initial voltage surges).
The hour meter installed on the generator calculates the number of running hours of the generator motor. This is used
for
maintenance schedules.
Regular oil changes and other maintenance performed at the prescribed intervals will greatly
extend the life of your generator.
