house and chassis batteries. The generator
requires 12-volt power from the house
batteries to start, and draws fuel from the
chassis fuel tank. If the fuel tank drops to or
below 1/4 full, the genset will automatically
shut off to keep the RV from being stranded.
Be aware the generator, when operating,
gives off carbon monoxide.
Before starting the generator
CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! Do
not run the genset when your motorhome
is indoors or in a confined space.
Asphyxiation or
poisoning hazards
generator exhaust gasses can accumulate.
1. Make sure the carbon monoxide detector
is working.
2. Turn OFF air conditioners and all other
appliances.
3. Check for fuel, exhaust and coolant leaks.
STOP the genset immediately if there is
a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak and
have it repaired!
Excessive cranking can overheat and
damage the genset starter motor. Do not
crank for more than 20 seconds at a time.
Wait at least two minutes before trying
again. If the genset does not start after the
third try, refer to the generator OEM
manual for more information.
