GENERATORS
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE TO READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE GENERATOR OWNER’S
MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE GENERATOR.
Observe all operating instructions and warnings as
well as all recommended maintenance schedules and
procedures.
The onboard generator makes your RV fully self-
contained. It allows you access to 120 volts when
there is no shore power available, but keep in mind
that carbon monoxide is deadly! NEVER sleep in the
RV with the generator running! Before you start and
use the generator inspect the exhaust system. Do
not use it if the exhaust system is damaged. Test the
carbon monoxide detector every time you use the
RV. Know what the symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning are:
• Dizziness
• Vomiting
• Nausea
• Muscular twitching
• Intense headache
• Throbbing in the temples
• Weakness and sleepiness
• Inability to think coherently
If you or anyone else experience any of these
symptoms get to fresh air immediately. Shut the
generator down and do not operate it until it has
been inspected and repaired by a professional. If the
symptoms persist seek medical attention.
DANGER
Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and
death.
Follow all instructions in this section as well as the ones outlined in
the generator operator’s manual.
1. DO NOT operate the generator while
sleeping. You would not be aware of exhaust
entering the recreation vehicle, or alert to
symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
2. Never store anything in generator
compartment. Always keep compartment
clean and dry.
3. DO NOT operate the generator in an enclosed
building or in a partly enclosed area such as a
garage.
4. Review the safety precautions for fuel and
exhaust fumes elsewhere in this manual.
5. DO NOT operate the generator when the
recreation vehicle is parked in high grass or
brush. Heat from the exhaust could cause a
fire in dry conditions.
6. Never operate your chassis or generator
engine, or the engine of any vehicle, longer
than necessary when the vehicle is parked.
7. DO NOT simultaneously operate generator
and a ventilator which could result in the entry
of exhaust gas. When exhaust ventilators are
used, we recommend that a window on the
opposite side of the unit “upwind” of exhaust
gases be opened to provide cross ventilation.
8. When parked, orient the vehicle so that the
wind will carry the exhaust away from the
vehicle. DO NOT open nearby windows,
ventilators, or doors into the passenger
compartment, particularly those which can be
“down wind”, even part of the time.
9. DO NOT operate the generator when parked
in close proximity to vegetation, snow,
buildings, vehicles, or any other object could
deflect the exhaust under or into the vehicle.
10. DO NOT touch the generator when running,
or immediately after shutting off. Heat
from the generator can cause burns. Allow
the generator to cool before attempting
maintenance or service.
