Remote Operation Panel
Most RVs that are equipped by the original equipment manufacturer to accept an installed generator also
include a secondary operation control panel (often located within the RV living space) to operate the
generator. The panel is equipped with the ability to start and stop the generator, prime the gasoline and read
the VFT meter functions. The Install Manual explains how to connect the generator to such a remote panel.
(available here: https://rvmp.co/manuals). Once properly installed:
1. Press START/STOP to remotely start the generator and stop the generator.
2. Press PRIME to prime the gasoline.
3. (other features may be available depending on the remote control being used)
Operation
Breaking in a New Engine
Proper engine break-in on a new generator is essential for top engine performance and acceptable oil
consumption. Run the generator at approximately ½ power for the first two hours of operation, and ¾ power
for two more hours. See electrical loading details below for the generator to determine proper electrical
loads. Proper engine oil and oil level are especially critical during the break-in period. Change the engine oil
if operation in hot or cold temperatures as needed (see engine oil recommendations). Check the oil level
twice a day or every four hours during the first 25 hours of break-in, then change the engine oil after the first
25 hours (see changing the engine oil).
Pre-Start Checks
Before the first start of the day and after every eight hours of generator operation, inspect the generator as
instructed under (conducting general inspections). Keep a running log of maintenance and the hours of
operation and perform maintenance that may be due. See (returning the generator to service) if the RV has
been in storage.
Before Each Start:
1. Verify that the correct fuel source is selected.
