Section 6: Electrical System
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.
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.
Excessive cranking can overheat and damage the generator starter motor. Do
not crank for more than 20 seconds at a time. Wait at least two minutes before
trying again. If the generator does not start after the third try, refer to the gen-
erator manufacturer’s user manual for more information.
