10.2.2 AUTOMATIC POWER
TRANSFER SWITCH
Your motorhome is equipped with an automatic
power transfer switch that transfers the electrical
load between the shoreline or generator power
source. It automatically transfers all the load to
shoreline whenever it is plugged in. The shore-
line must be unplugged to utilize power from the
generator.
When the generator is started, the transfer unit
bypasses all electrical loads for 30 to 45 seconds
to allow for easy starting. Then when the generator
is running smoothly, the electrical load is applied.
When the shoreline is plugged in to an outside
power source the transfer unit automatically
switches away from the generator to the shoreline.
If you wish to use the generator only, unplug the
GENERATOR REFUELING
10.2.3 GENERATOR REFUELING
In the case of a Diesel Generator, the pick-
up tube is located within the main fuel tank. This
fuel pick-up is shorter than the engine pickup tube,
to prevent the vehicle from being without fuel while
on site.
In the case of a propane generator, the
propane tank supplies the generator as well as
the coach appliances. The consumption of this
propane has no effect on the vehicle fuel system.
WARNING
Do not smoke when refuelling. Keep fl ames,
sparks and smoking material away from fuel or
fl ammable fumes.
