The following label is located near the 120-
volt house circuit breaker panel and at the
Generator to warn you to disconnect specific
electrical connections before servicing the
Generator and storing the motorhome.
Automatic Generator Start (AGS)
The Automatic Generator Start feature
monitors house battery voltage and motorhome
interior temperature, and has the ability to
automatically start the Generator to help
maintain full air conditioning function and house
battery charge.
Generator Hourmeter
The Generator Hourmeter registers the total
number of hours that the Generator has been
operated.
Refer to the Hourmeter to determine when

Operation Warnings and Cautions
•
Do not simultaneously operate the Generator
and a power vent, which could draw exhaust
gases into the vehicle.
•
Do not open windows or vents on the end or
side of the vehicle where exhaust pipe of the
Generator is located.
•
Park the vehicle so that the wind will carry the
exhaust away from the vehicle. Also, note the
position of other vehicles to be sure their
exhaust will not enter your vehicle.
•
Do not operate the Generator engine while
parked if vegetation, snow, buildings,
vehicles, or any other object can deflect the
exhaust under or into the vehicle.
NOTICE
If operating the heating system or
generator, always maintain 1/4 tank of
diesel fuel to ensure proper system
operation.The heating system or
generator will shut down if the diesel fuel
tank is below 1/4 tank. The system is
designed to prevent you from depleting
the entire fuel tank.
WARNING
The exhaust of all internal combustion
engines contains carbon monoxide (CO).
This poisonous gas is colorless, odorless,
tasteless, and lighter than air. The
exhaust systems of both your motorhome
engine and your generator engine have
been installed with your safety in mind.
However, certain precautions must be
taken when using them to protect yourself
from conditions beyond the control of the
manufacturer.
