Generator Operation Warnings and Caution
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 you from conditions beyond the control of the
manufacturer.
18.
Do not simultaneously operate the generator engine and a ventilator that could draw exhaust gases into
the vehicle.
19.
Do not open windows or ventilators on the end or side of the vehicle where exhaust pipe of the generator
is located.
20.
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.
21.
Do not operate the generator engine when parked if vegetation, 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. Refer to the generator manufacturer’s
information in your “Info Case” for specific recommendations.
WARNING
Never check generator oil level while generator engine is running.
