Section 6: Electrical System
Generator
The factory-installed generator will produce 120-volt AC power for use when camping in
areas where shore power is unavailable. 120-volt power from the generator is output to the
AC distribution center by way of a factory-installed automatic transfer switch. In the default
mode, the automatic transfer switch connects the generator to the AC distribution center
when the generator is operating and shore power is disconnected.
Before Starting the Generator
1. Make sure the carbon monoxide detector is working.
2.
Turn “off” air conditioners and all other appliances.
3. Check for fuel, exhaust and coolant leaks.
STOP the generator immediately if there is a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak and have it
repaired!
To Start the Generator Manually
1. Press the operation control switch to start the generator. Depending on the outside
temperature, preheat can take up to 15 seconds.
2. The hour meter will monitor minutes of usage when the generator is running.
3.
Before stopping the generator, turn off air conditioners and large electrical loads and
allow the generator to run 3 to 5 minutes to cool down. Flip the red start/stop switch
to stop.
For better performance and engine life, especially in colder weather, let the generator engine
warm up for two minutes before turning “on” 120-volt appliances.
CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! Do not run the generator when
your RV is indoors or in a confined space. Asphyxiation or carbon mon-
oxide poisoning hazards exist whenever generator exhaust gasses can accu-
mulate.
MOVING PARTS AND ELECTRICITY can cause severe personal injury
or death. To reduce exposure to these hazards, always disable AGS (if so
equipped) before:
 Sleeping in vehicle, unless vehicle has a working CARBON MONOX-
IDE detector.
 Parking vehicle in garage or confined space.
 Parking vehicle for storage.
 Servicing vehicle for storage.
 Servicing generator.
 Servicing batteries.
 Servicing appliances or electrical systems.
 Fueling the vehicle.
DO NOT run the generator or use the AGS AUTO ON or QUIET ON
modes (if so equipped) when your RV is indoors or in a confined space.
Asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning hazards exist whenever genera-
tor exhaust gasses can accumulate.
