GENERATOR
The function of a generator is to supply 120-volt AC power on a limited basis when
extended power is not available.
The power to start the generator comes from the auxiliary battery. A start/stop switch is
located on a mounting plate with the generator. A remote generator start switch is located
near the monitor panel inside the motorhome.
• If the auxiliary battery has been drained of power, start the chassis engine to supply
12-volt DC power to the auxiliary battery and then start the generator.
• If both the auxiliary battery and the chassis battery are low on power, it is best to
obtain assistance from another motorist and use jumper cables.
• If you are in a situation with no assistance available and both the auxiliary and
chassis battery have a small amount of voltage, it is possible to start the generator if
two people are present. One person will need to hold the auxiliary start button on the
dash and the other person will need to press the start button on the generator.
The generator will draw fuel from the chassis fuel tank. When the tank drops to ¼ tank, the
generator will shut off to preserve fuel for operating the motorhome.
The generator is manufactured by Onan. They have supplied an owner's manual with your
motorhome for safety information, operation and maintenance of the generator. Make sure
you read and follow all information supplied to you. If you have questions, consult your
independent, authorized dealer and/or contact the manufacturer via their website at
www.onan.com. In addition, please note that the generator runs on gas and gives off carbon
monoxide. Please read, understand and follow the various safety precautions set forth in
this manual, and provided by Onan regarding these items.
ENTERTAINMENT
Your motorhome may be equipped with a variety of component parts for your
entertainment. Each individual system is supplied with an operation and maintenance
manual which is with your unit's information packet. Make sure that you are familiar with
each system and how it operates. Any questions should be directed to the component part
manufacturer and/or your independent, authorized dealer. A Manufacturer's Customer
Support Directory appears toward the end of this manual. It provides some websites and
phone numbers for component part manufacturers.
MONITOR PANEL
The monitor panel will provide useful information on the capacities of the water tanks and
the battery condition. Your motorhome has a wall mounted panel. Follow instructions
below regarding operation. If you have further questions on the operation, refer to
information supplied with your motorhome by the monitor panel manufacturer, consult
with your independent, authorized dealer and/or the monitor panel manufacturer.
The panel operates on 12-volt DC power supplied by the converter or battery. Sensors are
installed into the tanks and a resistor assembly relaying a message through wires to the
display board on the panel. No power is drawn from the battery unless a switch is pushed or
turned on.
