Electrical Systems
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, under-
neath, 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.
If use of the generator is infrequent, “exercise” the generator once a
month by operating it at approximately half the maximum rated output for
two hours. This “exercise” will help promote better starting, more reliable
operation and longer engine life. This procedure drives off moisture,
relubricates internal engine parts, replaces the old stale fuel with a fresh
supply, and promotes removing oxides from the electrical switches and con-
tacts.
NOTE: Avoid short run periods of the generator set. Run
the generator set under a load for a minimum of one-half
hour.
