Section 6: Electrical System
Generator
Your motorhome may be equipped with an LP or diesel powered generator. In certain gaso-
line engine motorhomes, the generator will be gasoline powered as well. The generator
produces 120/240-volt power compatible with the motorhome electrical system. It can be
used to power the entire motorhome when 120/240-volt shore power is not available.
Automatic Generator Start (AGS) (if so equipped)
Vegatouch systems include an AGS screen to program your generator to automatically start
and stop at specified times. The AGS button is located on the Home screen of the Vegatouch
display. Please refer to your V egatouch User Guide in your warranty portfolio.
Transfer switch
For more information see the
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)
section.
Before Starting the Generator
1. Make sure the carbon monoxide detector is working.
2. Turn off air conditioners and all other 120-volt appliances.
3. Check for fuel, exhaust and coolant leaks.
STOP the generator immediately if there is a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak. Have all
leaks repaired prior to placing the generator back in service.
NOTE: Certain Class A motorhomes may be equipped with a Vegatouch
touchscreen system. The generator instructions can be found in the Vega -
touch User Guide included in your warranty portfolio or online at http://www.
fireflyint.com .
NOTE: The diesel (or gas) generator requires 12-volt power from the
house auxiliary batteries to start, and draws diesel fuel (or gas) to operate
from the chassis fuel tank. If the fuel level in the chassis fuel tank drops
to or below ¼ full, the generator will automatically shut off and cannot be
re-started until the fuel tank is filled to above ¼ full.
