GENERATOR

dangEr:
MAKE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
GENERATOR OWNER'S MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE GENERA-
TOR. Observe all operating instructions and warnings as well as all
recommended maintenance schedules and procedures.
The onboard generator makes your RV house electrical system fully self-
contained. It allows you access to 110 volts when there is no shore power
available, but keep in mind that carbon monoxide is deadly! Even though
the generator is outside the living area of the motorhome to prevent fumes
from entering, NEVER sleep in the RV with the generator running! Before you
start and use the generator inspect the exhaust system. Do not use it if the
exhaust system is damaged. Test the carbon monoxide detector every time
you use the RV.
