GENERATOR SAFETY
1. Electrical
2. Asphyxiation
a. Do not run the generator and a ventilator fan at the same time. This could draw gases into the motorhome.
b. Do not open windows or ventilators on the side where exhaust pipes are located.
c. Park so that winds will carry gases away from the vehicle. Be aware of potential gas fumes from other nearby ve-
hicles.
d. Do not operate the generator if there is any obstruction such as vegetation, snow, buildings, etc. which could deflect
gas fumes under or into the motorhome.
5.6
AUTOMATIC POWER TRANSFER SWITCH
Automatic Switch Over
Switch from power cord to generator simply by starting generator.
Built-in Delay
20 - 30 second (nominal) delay prevents starting generator under load. Allows necessary engine warm-up before trans-
fer.
This switch automatically transfers power when switching between 110 volt shore power and generated power. It pre-
vents damage to any circuitry should the shore power and generator be used simultaneously.
WARNING
Never check generator oil level while generator engine is running.
WARNING
All internal combustion engines produce carbon monoxide (CO) gas fumes when
running. This gas is poisonous, colourless, odourless, tasteless and lighter than air.
These gases can readily be drawn into your motorhome. Take the following pre-
cautions when running any engines.
TOTAL
CAUTION
In normal usage it is never advisable to start generator under load. To prolong the lift of air conditioner, microwave, etc
(and this power switch), follow this rule: ALWAYS CHECk THAT APPLIANCES ARE OFF BEFORE STARTING OR
STOPPING GENERATOR.
WARNING
Extreme care and caution should be exercised when handling the generator and
its components. Carelessness can be dangerous and even fatal.
Never touch any electrical leads, equipment or appliances when your hands are
wet or when you are standing on wet ground or in water.
Any repair of the generator should be done by authorized service centers only.
Never attempt to repair it yourself.
