preheat . Let go when the light comes on
continuously, indicating that the generator
is running and that the starter has been
disconnected . (Depending on how cold
it is, preheat can take up to 15 seconds,
extending the time that the light blinks.)
2. See the Troubleshooting Guide in RV
Genset Operator’s Manual located in
the Owner’s Information Package if the
generator does not start after several tries.
To stop the generator:

Generator Operating Safety
Precautions
Read and understand the generator operating,
maintenance and safety instruction furnished in
your Owner’s Information Package.
• Do not smoke or use an open flame near
the generator unit or fuel tank.
• Do not use generator ventilation air for
heating any space.
• Check engine fuel lines. Fuel leakage in or
around the compartment is an extreme fire
hazard. Do not use the generator until fuel
leaks are repaired.
• Be aware of exhaust gas (carbon
monoxide) poisoning symptoms . Refer
to the section on Carbon Monoxide
Safety Precautions in the On The Road
chapter of this manual.
• Check the generator exhaust system after
every usage and whenever the system
may have been damaged, and repair
any leaks or obstructions before further
operation. Disconnect the battery(ies)
before performing any maintenance on
the generator. Allow the generator to cool
before performing any maintenance .
• Do not use the generator as an emergency
power source to a general residential
or industrial utility line. This is illegal
and may cause shock or electrocution to
power line utility personnel attempting to
repair power lines.
WARNING
Do not place flammable material or store any other
materials in the generator compartment.
!
WARNING
Do not operate the generator when parked in or
near high grass or brush. Exhaust component heat
may cause a fire.
!
WARNING
Do not modify the generator installation or exhaust
system in any way.
Do not use the generator as an emergency power
source to a general residential or industrial utility
line. This is illegal and may cause shock or electro-
cution to power line utility personnel attempting to
repair power lines.
!
WARNING
Do not block the generator ventilating air inlets or
outlets. The engine re quires a constant supply of
cooling air. Restricted ventilating air inlets or outlets
can cause engine failure.

CAUTION
Excessive cranking can overheat and damage the
starter motor. Do not crank for more than 30 seconds
at a time. Wait at least 2 minutes before trying again.
!
WARNING
When operating the on-board generator for electrical
power and using the overhead vent fan, regardless of
outside temperature, open a window “slightly”. This
will reduce the chances of drawing harmful Carbon
Monoxide into the passenger compartment.
