GENERATOR
If your unit is equipped with a generator, it will be located
at the rear of the vehicle. Access to the generator is from
underneath the chassis. There is no access through the
interior so as to prevent exhaust gas from seeping into the
living compartment. The generator will provide an added
source of power to run the electrical system when you are
not plugged into a 110 volt power source.
To start your generator, locate the START/STOP switch on
both switch panels, touch the START button. If the generator
does not crank check the Generator breaker below the driver
side ottoman. If the generator runs but does not generate
power check the breaker inside the generator compartment.
Your generator is an gasoline generator that draws its fuel
supply from your gasoline tank, the generator will shut down
when the gasoline tank reaches
¼
. Once the generator is
running, it supplies power to the entire electrical system, just
as if your unit were plugged into a 110 volt power source.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you run your generator for
½
hour under load each month. This will allow the system
to maintain fresh fuel, the engine to be lubricated and the
electronic components to avoid corrosive build up.
NOTE:
If you are running your generator in freezing
temperatures and the interior of the coach is below 32
degrees F or 0 degrees C, it is recommended that the 150
amp disconnect breaker is tripped to avoid charging the
batteries through the converter/charger. In some cases
owners will use the furnace to warm the interior of the
coach and allow the batteries to charge. Press the red
button on the breaker to trip the breaker. When the breaker
is tripped a lever will swing out below the center bar, to
reset the breaker push the lever up under the center bar.
