Prior to the first start of the day, preform a general inspection including oil
and coolant levels. Keep a maintenance log on number of hours in operation
since the last service. Perform any service or maintenance that may be due.
• People and animals must be clear of hazards of electrical
shock and moving parts.
•
Appliances and other large AC electrical loads are off.

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 sec-
onds, indicating engine preheat.
NOTE: Diesel models may require priming. Hold control switch in
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 for more than 30 seconds at any one time. Wait
at least two minutes before resuming. If the generator fails to start,
refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.
WARNING: When the motorhome is parked, position the dash air
conditioner vent control in the OFF position to prevent outside air
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.

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.
