ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

Whenever the generator is needed, an auto-

matic power transfer system automatically

switches the household electrical system to the

generator 10 seconds after the generator is

started. The ten-second delay allows the genera-

tor to start easily without the burden of electrical

loads.

Starting and Stopping the Generator

The generator switches are located on the dash

and on the monitor panel. 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’s 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. Overloading will cause the

circuit breaker on the generator to trip. If this

happens, the generator will run but no elec-

tricity will be present in the coach. You must

then reset the circuit breaker on the side of the

generator. 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.

Careless handling of the generator

and electrical components can be fa-

tal.

Never touch electrical leads or appli-

ances when your hand are wet, or

when standing in water or on wet

ground.

Do not attempt to repair the generator

yourself. Service should be performed

by an authorized service center.

Do not plug the power cord into the

generator receptacle while the genera-

tor is running.
