Starting the Generator
Push and hold the 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.
WARNING:
Excessive cranking can overheat
and damage the starter motor. DO
NOT crank the engine more than 30
seconds at any one time. Wait at least
two minutes before resuming. If the
generator fails to start refer to the
generator OEM manual.
WARNING:
When the motorhome is parked,
position the dash air conditioner
vent control in the OFF position
to prevent exhaust gases from
entering the motorhome. The engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
which is poisonous and can cause
unconsciousness and/or death. Inspect
the exhaust system before starting the
generator. DO NOT block the exhaust
pipe or put the motorhome where
the exhaust may accumulate outside,
underneath, or inside the motorhome or
nearby vehicles. Operate the generator
only when there is a safe dispersion of
exhaust. Monitor outside conditions to
ensure the exhaust continues to disperse
safely.
WARNING:
When parking near high grass, it could
be a fire hazard. Hot exhaust pipe or hot
exhaust gases can ignite the grass.
CAUTION:
Exhaust extensions add weight to the
generator exhaust system. Exhaust
piping or manifold damage can
result, allowing carbon monoxide to
accumulate or leak into the motorhome.
Stopping the Generator
Turn off the appliances and
disconnect other AC loads
being used. Allow the generator
to run unloaded for at least
one minute before shutdown
to allow the engine to cool.
Momentarily push the control
switch to the
STOP
position.
Release the switch.
NOTE:
The generator requires only a
momentary stop signal.
Powering the Equipment
The AC output of the generator powers the
motorhome air conditioners, the AC Inverter/
Charger and all appliances and items plugged
into the electrical 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 current, either the generator will
shut down or the circuit breaker will trip.
If power consumption, in total, exceeds the
generator power output, compensation for
temperature and elevation may be necessary.
Operate appliances in sequence, rather than all at
the same time.
NOTE:
The generator may shut down when
loaded nearly to full power and an
air conditioner (or other large motor
load) cycles on. Briefly during start
up, an electric motor can draw up to
three times the rated power. For this
reason, it may be necessary to operate
some appliances in sequence when air
conditioners or other large motor loads
are on.
