Electrical Systems
a remote panel located in the living area of the
motor home.
When the generator is operating, and the power
cord plugged into the generator receptacle,
power is available at all of the 120-volt power
outlets in the motor home, just as if the cord
were connected to an external source. The gen-
erator is also connected to the power converter,
thus supplying 12-volt power as well.
Generator Fuel Supply
Fuel for the gasoline or diesel generator is taken
from the main fuel tank through a special feeder
tube which is higher in the tank than the feeder
tube to the motor home engine. This arrange-
ment prevents the generator from running the
motor home fuel tank dry.
Propane Generator
(If Equipped)
Fuel is provided from a dedicated Propane tank.
Generator Operations
To start the generator:
1. Press START switch until generator is run-
ning.
2. To stop the unit, press the switch in the
STOP position.
If the generator is slow to start, DO NOT hold
the switch in the START position for more than
10 seconds. Release the switch, wait 15 seconds,
then try to start again. This will help avoid over-
heating and damage to the generator starting
system.
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.
• During stops while traveling, inspect the
exhaust systems for road damage. Do not
operate an engine with a damaged exhaust
system.
• Be aware of exhaust gas (carbon monox-
ide) poisoning symptoms. Refer to the sec-
tion on Carbon Monoxide Safety
Precautions in the On The Road chapter.
• 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.
• Check the exhaust system(s) during routine
maintenance, and repair any leaks, damage,
or obstructions before further operations.
• Disconnect the battery(ies) before perform-
ing 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.
NOTE
Refer to the generator operating instructions provided
in your
Owner’s Information Package
for informa-
tion before starting the generator. Do not start the
generator unit with a heavy power load. Always wait
at least three minutes after starting generator before
turning on (or plugging in) heavy electrical loads, such
as the roof air conditioner.
WARNING
Do not under any circumstances operate the gener-
ator while sleeping. You would not be able to moni-
tor outside conditions to assure that generator
exhaust does not enter the interior, and you would
not be alert to exhaust odors or symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning.
