2. Push the START button on the generator control panel or the remote panel. The engine will
automatically stop.
Connecting to Utility Power
Connecting the generator to a public utility (or any other power supply) can lead to electrocution of
personnel working on the utility lines, damage to equipment and fire. An approved switching device or
transfer switch must be used to prevent a dangerous connection.
When the RV has provisions for connecting to utility power (shore power), such as a cord for plugging into a
power receptacle at a campground, it must also have an approved switching/transfer device to keep the
generator and utility from being simultaneously connected.
Loading the Generator
The generator can power AC motors, air conditioners, AC/DC converters, charge batteries, and other
appliances. The total appliance load that can be powered depends upon the generator’s rated power for
each model. The generator will disconnect AC output power at the AC breaker(s) on the front panel of the
generator if the total sum of the loads exceeds the generator’s rating.
To avoid overloading the generator and causing shutdowns, compare the sum of the RUNNING loads of the
appliances that are likely to be used at one time to the power rating of the generator. Use Fig. 4 below or the
ratings of the appliances to obtain the individual appliance loads. It may be necessary to run fewer
appliances at the same time. The sum of the appliance loads must not exceed the rating of the generator.
