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 necessary.
The diesel generator fuel pick-up tube is cut to approximately
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 seconds
at any one time. Wait at least two minutes before resuming.
If the generator fails to start refer to the generator
manufacturer’s owner’s 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 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.
CAUTION: An exhaust extension adds weight and stresses the
generator exhaust system. Damage to the exhaust piping or
exhaust manifold can result, allowing Carbon Monoxide gases
to accumulate under or leak into the motorhome.
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.
