NOTE: Information in this chapter may not necessarily apply to your unit. For some
models, optional equipment may have been added as your vehicle was being
built. There may be some information here that is standard equipment for the
model of motorhome that you own. This chapter contains information to aid in
the operation of such equipment.
This owner's manual covers basic optional equipment operation only. Make
sure you read all manuals provided by the manufacturer which are included
with each recreation vehicle. These manuals provide extensive information
for your safety and the proper operation of the equipment.
GENERATOR
Before operating the generator set, read the manufacturer's owner's manual and become familiar
with it and the equipment. Safe and efficient operation can be achieved only if the unit is properly
operated and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failure to follow fundamental rules and
precautions.
FUEL AND FUMES ARE FLAMMABLE
Fire, explosion, and personal injury can result from improper practices.
• Do not smoke or allow an open flame or spark-producing equipment near the generator set or
fuel tank.
• Inspect the fuel lines and connections daily for leaks per the maintenance schedule.
EXHAUST GASES ARE DEADLY
• Never sleep in the vehicle with the generator set running unless vehicle is equipped with an
operating carbon monoxide detector.
• Inspect exhaust system daily for leaks per the maintenance schedule. Do not use engine
cooling air to heat a compartment.
• Never operate the generator set inside a building or in an area where exhaust gases could
accumulate, such as near a wall or snow bank, or in high grass. When parking, make sure the
exhaust outlet is not obstructed. Make sure the generator set is well ventilated.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
• Disconnect the negative (-) cable at the starting battery before removing protective shields or
touching electrical equipment. Use rubber insulative mats placed on dry wood platforms on
the ground or over floors that are metal or concrete when around electrical equipment. Do not
wear damp clothing (particularly wet shoes) or allow skin surfaces to be damp when handling
electrical equipment.
• Use extreme caution when working on electrical components. High voltages can cause injury
or death.
• Tag remote or open switches to avoid accidental closure or starting.
• DO NOT CONNECT GENERATOR SET DIRECTLY TO ANY BUILDING ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM. Hazardous voltages can flow from the generator set into the utility line. This
creates a potential for electrocution or property damage. Connect only through an approved
device and after building main switch is open. Consult an electrician in regard to emergency
power use.
