GENERATOR EXERCISE
If use of the generator is infrequent, “exercise” the
generator once a month by operating it at approximately
half the maximum rated output for two hours . This
“exercise” will help promote better starting, more
reliable operation and longer engine life . This procedure
drives off moisture, lubricates the internal engine parts,
replaces the old stale fuel with a fresh supply, and also
promotes removing oxides from the electrical switches
and contacts .
LOAD CENTER
The motorhome is equipped with a 30 Amp 120 Volt
AC load center . The load center contains AC circuit
breakers and DC fuses as well as a power converter .
Shore power goes to the Main breaker . The main
breaker provides power to all individual branch circuit
breakers .
DC fuses supply power to individual circuits for interior
lighting or the furnace for example . Refer to the panel
labels for specific circuit assignments .
Branch circuits supply AC power to the different items
or “loads .” An electrical load is any item or device that
uses current when supplied with an electromotive
force .
Should a breaker “trip” from an over-current condition,
or from a shorted circuit, the load to which the breaker
is supplying the electromotive force should be reviewed
or disconnected to determine the cause of the trip . If
no cause is found, or not readily apparent, reset the
breaker by toggling the breaker to the Off position, then
back to On .
Should the breaker trip again after the load is reapplied,
it may indicate a fault with that particular load . Do not
continue to reset breaker until the problem is diagnosed
and corrected .
GFCI BREAKERS & OUTLETS
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) can be found in two different
types of applications . One type is
incorporated in a breaker used in 120
Volt AC breaker panels; the other is
incorporated in an outlet .
The GFCI, whether it is a breaker
or an outlet, offers two types of
protection . One type of protection
is from over-current or shorts to
guard against hazardous ground
fault currents that can result in
injury or death . Ground fault currents are currents that
flow from the “hot” or power terminal through a person
to the ground . Example: touching a faulty appliance
NOTE:
Avoid short run periods of the generator . Run the
generator under a load for a minimum of one-half
hour .

WARNING:
This panel contains high voltage that can cause
serious injury or death . Before beginning any
work or testing procedures involving the electric
panels or any of the branch circuits, be sure to
unplug the motorhome from shore power . Certain
testing procedures can require the AC power to
be on . Only qualified technicians with electrical
backgrounds should attempt any testing or repair
procedures .
