This section provides some basic information for
the safe operation of several accessories. For many
accessories, such as generators and LP appliances,
the manufacturer of the accessory has also provided
instructions. You must read and follow these
instructions before using the accessory. If you are
uncertain whether you have all of the instructions,
call Featherlite, Inc. at 800-800-1230 or your dealer
before operating the accessory. The following
accessories are described in this section:
•
Gasoline (or LP) and Diesel Generators
•
Accessory Battery
•
“Shore Power” connections which provide
power by “plugging the trailer in” to an
external source of electrical power
•
LP Gas Fuel System
•
Vending or Accessory Doors
•
Electric-powered Landing Gear
Many accessories introduce the risk of fire and
carbon monoxide poisoning. If you have an
accessory on your trailer, make sure you have a fire
extinguisher charged and ready before operating the
accessory. Check the fire extinguisher at least once
a month. If the fire extinguisher is discharged even
partially, it must be recharged. Follow the fire
extinguisher manufacturer’s instructions for
recharging the extinguisher after use.

If your trailer is equipped with a generator, you
must have and follow the generator manufacturer’s
instructions. Carbon monoxide gas is present in the
exhaust of all gasoline and diesel engines, as well as
from other burning fuels such as LP gas and
charcoal.
Carbon Monoxide is an odorless gas that can cause
death. Be certain exhaust from any running engine
or burning fuels can not accumulate in areas where
people or animals are likely to be present.
Conditions that can redirect exhaust fumes are, for
example:
•
Being drawn in by fans or ventilators operated
in a trailer;
•
Prevailing wind;
•
Being trapped between adjacent trailers,
vehicles or buildings; or
•
Being trapped between or in a snow bank or
other materials that can redirect fumes.
You must have an operating carbon monoxide
detector inside the accommodation spaces of your
trailer.
^ WARNING
Gasoline and diesel generators pose a risk
of death from:
•
Carbon Monoxide
•
Fire and Explosion
•
Electrocution
Do not operate a generator without having
a working carbon monoxide detector.
Do not refuel a running generator.
Do not refuel near ignition sources.
Before starting the generator, check fuel and oil
levels. The generator may have to run for two or
three minutes before it allows drawing electricity
from it. Read the generator instruction manual.
Never exceed the capacity of the generator.
Before turning off the generator, remove the
electrical load and let the engine to run for two or
three minutes to cool the generator.

Your trailer may be outfitted with an accessory
battery that operates lighting, electric landing gear,
slide-outs or other accessories. An accessory
battery may be kept charged either by the tow
vehicle or by the generator or shore power.
A disconnect switch may be provided to disconnect
the accessory battery when you do not plan to be
using the trailer for an extended period, such as
seasonal storage. If there is no disconnect switch,
then remove the cables from the battery terminals.
The accessory battery must be kept in a charged
condition during storage. The battery could freeze
and break if it becomes discharged.
