Before stopping the generator, turn off air conditioners and large electrical loads and
allow the generator to run 3 to 5 minutes to cool down. Flip the red start/stop switch
to stop.
For top performance and engine life, especially in colder weather, let the generator engine
warm up for two minutes before connecting (turning “on”) appliances.
Maintenance
With the exception of simple items such as normal maintenance (i.e., oil changes, etc.), all
service work should be done by a repair facility authorized by the generator OEM.
Improper adjustments can damage the generator and electrical appliances, and can result in
a safety hazard. If any discrepancy or problem is noted, contact your dealer for assistance.
Exercising Your Generator
– it’s also very important to run your generator regularly, to
keep everything in good working order and in the case of gasoline sets, to avoid fuel
varnishing, which can affect performance, if the generator is stored for an extended time.
Lack of exercise can cause moisture build-up and fuel system degradation that make it run
poorly. In fact, in as little as 30 days, the fuel in gasoline-powered generators can begin to
gum and varnish the fuel system. Fuel varnishing results in hard starting and surging. (A
surging generator never settles at a stable operating speed.)
To prevent such problems, it is recommended to run gasoline generators at a minimum of
50 percent capacity (2000-watts, or one air conditioner for a 4000-watt set) for two hours
once every four weeks. This is necessary to help keep moving parts lubricated, expel
moisture and control fuel varnishing in the carburetor. A long two-hour exercise period is
preferable to several short periods. While traveling, this can be accomplished by running
the air conditioning.
For more information on generator operation and maintenance, refer to the generator
owner’s manual. Onan can be contacted at 1-800-888-ONAN (toll-free) or visit

Your recreation vehicle may be wired with a (exterior) plug in that
will allow the batteries to be trickle charged using a free standing
solar panel. In most models, the solar panel kit is a customer
purchased and installed option. The solar plug location will vary
by model, but may be located either on the sidewall, on the A-frame
of the vehicle or in the outside utility center.
There are capped off wires located in the area of the battery. These
wires are the battery charging wires. Once these wires are properly
connected to your battery, you will then be able to plug the solar
panel into the charging port.
When the system is connected properly, the solar panel will supply
power to the battery, the battery will supply power to the converter,
and the converter will supply power to all the 12V systems as needed.
CAUTION
Excessive cranking can overheat and damage the generator starter motor. Do not
crank for more than 20 seconds at a time. Wait at least two minutes before trying
again. If the generator does not start after the third try, refer to the generator
manufacturer’s user manual for more information.
