ELECTRICAL GENERATOR
SLIDEOUT SERVICE TRAY
The generator service tray can be extended
and retracted on a slideout frame mechanism.
To Extend Generator Frame For
Service:
1. Pull the travel-locking pin from the slide rail.
It is located on the driver side of the generator
and can be seen by looking down just inside of
the hood panel opening as indicated by the
arrow in the photo below. The pin is tethered
to the rail assembly by a small cable.
2. Pull the slide frame outward until generator
frame is fully extended.
3. After storing the generator, be sure to reinsert
the travel pin into the slide rail frame. You
may need to move the generator and grille
panel in or out slightly by hand to align the
holes properly to insert the pin.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM –
HOUSE 12-VOLT DC
The DC voltage system consists of the chassis
battery, the 12-volt house batteries, and the 12-
volt power converter.
Converter
See “Power Center.”
Chassis Battery
The chassis battery is used to operate the
engine starter and automotive accessories and
controls found on the instrument panel. The
slideout room systems and the electric step are
also connected to the chassis battery.
See your chassis manual for further
information on chassis batteries and chassis
electrical system.
House Batteries
House batteries are “deep-cycle” type
batteries specially designed for recreational
vehicle use. They will provide longer lasting
power than standard automotive starting batteries
