ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
STARTING AND STOPPING THE
GENERATOR
The generator switch is located on the range
hood. The generator starter circuit does not rely
on the automotive battery, so the switch will
operate whether the ignition switch is on or off.
This coach may be equipped with one of sev-
eral models of generators. Consult the generator
owner’s manual in your Owner InfoCase for
specific instructions on starting and stopping
your generator.
Basic Generator Operation:
Starting:
•
See generator manufacturer’s operating in-
formation for specific instructions.
•
Reduce all electrical loads. (Shut off lights,
fans, appliances, etc.)
•
If the generator has not been run for two
weeks or more, you may need to prime the
fuel system before attempting to start.
•
Press the generator starter switch on and hold
until generator engine is running, then re-
lease.
•
Let the generator engine stabilize and run
smoothly before turning appliances or electri-
cal equipment on.
•
Refer to the output specifications of your
generator in the generator manufacturer’s
manual.
•
Do not overload generator by turning too
many items on. See load chart for estimation
of typical RV loads.
Stopping:
•
Before shutting generator down, turn off
electrical loads and let engine run at no-load
for a few minutes to cool down.
•
Press the generator switch Off and hold until
the generator engine comes to a complete
stop.
