Operation Warnings and Cautions
1. Do not simultaneously operate the generator
and a power vent, which could draw exhaust
gases into the vehicle.
2. Do not open windows or vents on the end or
side of the vehicle where exhaust pipe of the
generator is located.
3. Park the vehicle so that the wind will carry the
exhaust away from the vehicle. Also, note the
position of other vehicles to be sure their
exhaust will not enter your vehicle.
4. Do not operate the generator engine while
parked if vegetation, snow, buildings,
vehicles, or any other object can deflect the
exhaust under or into the vehicle.
Check auxiliary generator oil level frequently
during periods of use.

WARNING
The exhaust of all internal combustion
engines contains carbon monoxide (CO).
This poisonous gas is colorless, odorless,
tasteless, and lighter than air. The
exhaust systems of both your motor home
engine and your generator engine have
been installed with your safety in mind.
However, certain precautions must be
taken when using them to protect yourself
from conditions beyond the control of the
manufacturer.
WARNING
Never check generator oil level while
generator engine is running.
