GENERATOR INSTALLATION
in RECREATIONAL VEHICLES
INTRODUCTION
Use this section as a guide when installing a generator set in a recreational vehicle, and then refer
to the appropriate operation section for specific instructions. The installation of a RV generator set shall
comply with current standards of ANSI / RVIA EGS-1, NFPA 1192 / ANSI A 119.2, ANSI / NFPA 70,
NFPA 551 and applicable articles of the National Electrical Code. Generator set installations must also
comply with state and local requirements.
MARINE APPLICATION
RV generator sets do not comply with United States Coast Guard (USCG) requirements and
must not be used for marine applications. Use only generator sets specified for marine use in marine
installations. USCG regulation 33CFR183 requires a generator set to be “ignition protected” when used
in a gasoline fueled environment.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This information section covers the RV generator set models listed below. To determine which
model is involved, check the model number found on the Power Technology nameplate attached to the
frame of the generator being installed. Follow all instructions to ensure proper installation and operation.
Each generator set features a Kubota diesel engine, rotating-field alternating current generator,
and a relay controller. The generator is directly connected to the engine for permanent alignment. Each
controller includes a Start / Stop switch for test operating the set at the controller. Also included is an On
/Off switch to reset the controller or lockout any remote switch to prevent starting while service is being
performed. The controller may be equipped with a switch to operate the mechanism used to move the
generator out of the coach for servicing. (Supplied by the coach manufacture). After the set is attached
to the frame of the vehicle, all that is usually required to make it operational is the following.
1. Attaching the exhaust system.
2. Add proper amount of radiator coolant.
3. Add oil to crankcase, to the dipstick FULL mark.
4. Connect fuel lines, remote switch, load leads and battery terminals.
