SECTION 9
– Electrical Systems
Class A
9 – Electrical Systems
To use the 110-volt generator, plug the power
cord into the generator receptacle within the
shoreline compartment before starting the
generator.
Starting and Stopping the
Generator
The generator switches are located on the dash
and on the monitor panel as well as on the
generator itself. The generator starter circuit does
not rely on the automotive battery, so the switch
will operate whether the ignition switch is on or
off.
This coach may be equipped with one of
several models of generators. Consult the
generator owner’s manual in your Owner
InfoCase for specific instructions on starting and
stopping your generator.
Basic Generator Operation
•
See generator manufacturer’s operating
information for specific instructions.
•
Reduce all electrical loads. (Shut off lights,
fans, appliances, etc.)
•
If the generator has not been run for two
weeks or more, you may need to prime the fuel
system before attempting to start.
Starting:
•
Press the generator starter switch on and hold
until generator engine is running, then release.
•
Let the generator engine stabilize and run
smoothly before turning appliances or
electrical equipment on.
•
Refer to the output specifications of your
generator in the generator manufacturer’s
manual.
•
Do not overload generator by turning too
many items on. Overloading will cause the
circuit breaker on the generator to trip. If this
happens, the generator will run but no
electricity will be present in the coach. You
must then reset the circuit breaker on the side
of the generator.
Stopping:
•
Before shutting generator down, turn off
electrical loads and let engine run at no-load
for a few minutes to cool down.
•
Press the generator switch Off and hold until
the generator engine comes to a complete
stop.
WARNING
Careless handling
of the generator and
electrical components can be fatal.
Never
touch electrical leads or
appliances when your hands are wet, or
when standing in water or on wet ground.
Do not
attempt to repair the generator
yourself. Service should be performed by
an authorized service center.
Do not
plug the power cord into the
generator receptacle while the generator
is running.
