Generator
(If equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with a gaso-
line or Propane-powered generator which will
provide complete electrical self-containment
when regular public utility AC power is unavail-
able . Controls are at the generator and at a
remote panel located in the living area of the
motor home .
When the generator is operating, power is avail-
able at all of the 120-volt power outlets in the
motor home, just as if the cord were connected
to an external source . The generator is also con-
nected to the power converter, thus supplying
12-volt power as well .
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 .
• Check to be sure the generator exhaust pipe
is located to discharge exhaust gases away
from the RV .
• 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 mon -
oxide) poisoning symptoms . Refer to the
section on Carbon Monoxide Safety Pre-
cautions 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 systems(s) during routine
maintenance, and repair any leaks, damage,
or obstructions before further operations .
• Dis connect 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 .
warnIng
Do not under any circumstances operate the genera-
tor while sleeping. You would not be able to monitor
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 mon-
oxide poisoning.
!
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 install 12-volt fuses or 120-volt breakers with
amperage ratings greater than that specified on the
device or label. Doing so constitutes a fire hazard.
