ELECTRICAL
SYSTEMS
AUXILIARY
GENERATOR OPERATION
The generator compartment door
is
located
on
the roadside
of
the coach, ex-
cept in the
26OORB model where
it
is
located midway curbside. Additional
technical information
regarding parts
and operation
are included from
the
manufacturer with your owner's packet. The compartment walls
are con-
structed
of
fire retardant materials
and
insulated to reduce generator
noise
to
the lowest point
possible.
During early
use
of
the generator, heavy exhaust smoke may appear. This
is
normal
and
is
caused by
a
special oil
used by the
manufacturer.
Be
sure to
check the oil
level
after
each
6
to
8
hours
ofgenerator operation. Oil
should
be
selected in accordance with
the
manufacturer's recommendation.
To start
the
auxiliary
generator, turn
the
battery
selector switch to the posi-
tion marked BOTH. Locate
the
starting switch
on the dashboard or
in
Apollo
Central Control. Hold
the switch in the
START
position until
the
generator
starts. The red
light
on the dashboard
will
come on
without ickering
when
the generator
is
running.
Do not hold the switch in the
UP position for more than
ten (10) seconds.
lf
the generator fails to start, wait
ten (10) seconds and try
again.
CAUTION."
Close windows on
generator
side
of
rear bath
models when
operating generator.
This
will
help
prevent
exhaust fumes
from
entering
coach.
ACCESSORY
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
On the right-hand wall of
the
generator compartment
are the accessory
cir-
cuit breaker
switches
for
the generator.
A
heavy
overload will
cause these
switches to activate, cutting
off
the
supply of
electricity from
the
auxiliary
generator to
these accessories.
In
the event that this should occur, turn off
the
electrical appliances. Generally, breaker
switches
will
be
activated when too
many appliances
are
operated on one circuit.
Before resetting switches,
attempt to
remedy this
condition.
The vacuum cleaner, rear air conditioner
and blender are the above mentioned accessories.
