Push and hold control switch in START position until the generator starts.
Release switch. On diesel models the control switch may flash up to 15
seconds, indicating engine preheat.
NOTE: Diesel models may require priming. Hold control
switch in the OFF position for one minute. Repeat if neces-
sary. The diesel generator fuel pick-up tube is cut to approxi-
mately 1/4 tank so as not to run the main engine out of fuel.
WARNING: Excessive cranking can overheat and damage
the starter motor. Do not crank the engine more than 30 sec-
onds at any one time. Wait at least two minutes before
resuming. If the generator fails to start refer to the manufac-
turer’s manual.
WARNING: When the motorhome is parked, position the
dash air conditioner vent control in the OFF position to pre-
vent exhaust gases from entering the motorhome. The engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless and
colorless gas. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can cause
unconsciousness and/or death. Inspect the exhaust system
thoroughly before starting the generator. Do not block the
exhaust pipe or situate the motorhome where the exhaust
may accumulate either outside, underneath, or inside the
motorhome or any nearby vehicles. Operate the generator
only when safe dispersion of exhaust can be assured. Monitor
the outside conditions to be sure that the exhaust continues
to disperse safely.
WARNING: When parking near high grass, be sure that the
hot exhaust does not come into contact with the grass, it
could be a fire hazard. Hot exhaust pipe or hot exhaust gases
can ignite the grass.
Turn off the appliances and disconnect other AC loads being used. Allow the
generator to run unloaded for at least one minute before shutdown. This will
allow the engine to cool. Push and hold the control switch in the
STOP position
until the generator stops. Release the switch.
NOTE: Diesel models require only a momentary stop signal.
The AC output of the generator powers the motorhome air conditioners, the
AC inverter/converter charger, all appliances and items plugged into the electri-
cal outlets of the motorhome. The number of electrical appliances that can be
operated at any given time depends upon how much power is available from the
generator. If the generator is “overloaded” or a short circuit causes “over cur-
