Allow the generator to run approximately
½ hour before attempting to start the
engine.
After ½ hour of generator operation,
leave the generator on and hold down
the Battery Boost switch for one minute.
Release the switch for one minute then
press the switch again for one minute.
Alternate this cycle three to five times.
Next, hold the switch down and turn the
ignition ON. The battery voltage gauge
on the dash should indicate at least 12
Volts. If voltage is sufficient with the
Boost switch held down, try to start the
engine.
If the engine fails to crank, or fails to
crank quickly, the chassis battery may be
depleted and the motorhome will require
jump-starting or an external charger
hooked to the chassis battery.

Jump Starting Using an External Source:
When using jumper cables to start the
engine, the cables must connect in a parallel
configuration. That is, positive (+) to positive
and negative battery
(-)
to negative chassis
(-) . Always connect the positive (+) before
connecting the negative (-) . To prevent arcing
when disconnecting the cables; disconnect the
negative
(-)
before disconnecting the positive
(+)
.
WARNING
Always ventilate the battery
compartment prior to any work or
service to the batteries. Gas emitted
by the batteries can explode when
exposed to smoking material, flames,
sparks or other sources of ignition,
resulting in injury or vehicle damage.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can
burn skin, eyes and clothing. DO NOT
connect the end of the second cable to
the negative (-) terminal of the battery
to be jumped. Connect only to the
chassis, away from the battery.
CAUTION
A large amount of electrical current
is required to jump-start an engine.
The sizes of the battery, alternator
and jumper cables supplying the
“jump” are current limiting factors.
Wait a sufficient amount of time
for a surface charge to build before
attempting to start the engine. Voltage
fluctuations that occur during a
jump-start procedure can damage
sensitive electronic equipment and
charging systems. If a jump-start is
necessary, it is recommended to call
Roadside Assistance. They will have the
equipment necessary to jump-start the
motorhome.
CAUTION
DO NOT use the towed vehicle for
jump-starting. The charging system
of the towed vehicle does not supply
the amperage necessary to jump-start
the motorhome. Voltage sensitive
equipment on the towed vehicle can be
damaged and render the towed vehicle
disabled.
