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. For a brief moment 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.
Compensation for temperature and elevation
may also be necessary. The generator’s maximum
output is rated at 500 ft. above sea level. Beyond
this point, the generator will lose approximately
3.5% of its rated power for every 1000 ft. gained
in elevation. High and low temperatures can also
affect generator output. Power decreases 1% for
every 10° F above 85° F. Counteract these effects
by operating appliances in sequence rather than at
the same time.
INFORMATION:
The generator may shut down for
reasons other than an overload. If a blink
code appears on the control switch, refer
to the manufacturer’s manual to obtain
an explanation for the code.
Generator Fuel
There is always a possibility fuel may be
contaminated. Diesel fuel may contain water
or a microbe growth (black slime). Any
contamination of fuel will greatly reduce the
total output of the generator and may cause
erratic AC output.
NOTE:
The motorhome manufacturer does not
cover damage to the generator caused
by fuel contamination, or to appliances
due to erratic AC voltage.
Resetting the Circuit Breaker
If a circuit breaker trips in the main AC
breaker panel, or on the generator control panel,
there may be a short circuit or too much load.
NOTE:
The generator will continue to run after
a circuit breaker trips.
If a circuit breaker trips, disconnect or turn off
as many loads as possible. To reset the circuit
breaker, switch the circuit breaker to OFF , then
switch back to ON to reconnect the circuit.
If the circuit breaker immediately trips, the
electrical distribution system has a short or
the circuit breaker is faulty. Call a qualifi ed
electrician. If the circuit breaker does not trip,
reconnect a combination of loads that will
not overload the generator or cause the circuit
breaker to trip again. Remember to compensate
for elevation and temperature changes when
reconnecting loads.
