ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
WARNING
The GFCI will not completely elimi-
nate electrical shock. Small children
and persons with heart conditions or
other disabilities which make them
especially sensitive to electrical
shock may still be injured by a 110-
volt receptacles even though pro-
tected by a Ground Fault interrupter.
AUXILIARY 110-VOLT
GENERATOR
Consult the generator manufacturer's infor-
mation provided in your Owner InfoCase for
instructions on operation, troubleshooting and
maintenance.
This coach may be equipped with one of
several models of generators. Consult the
generator owner's manual in your Owner Info-
Case for specific instructions on starting, stop-
ping your generator.
NOTE: After extensive generator use, you may
notice decreased levels in the affected
fuel tank.
WARNING
Careless handling of the generator
and electrical components can be fa-
tal.
Never touch electrical leads or appli-
ances when your hands are wet, or
when standing in water or on wet
ground.
Do not attempt to repair the generator
yourself. Service should be performed
by an authorized service center.

Automatic Power Transfer Switch
Whenever the generator is needed, an auto-
matic power transfer system automatically
switches the household electrical system to the
generator 10 seconds after the generator is start-
ed. The ten-second delay allows the generator to
start easily without the burden of electrical loads.
Starting and Stopping the Generator
For your convenience we have mounted gen-
erator start/stop switches in two locations inside
the coach; in addition to the switch on the gener-
ator itself:
• Instrument Panel
• Systems Monitor Panel
The generator starter circuit does not rely on
the automotive battery, so the switch will operate
whether the ignition switch is on or off.
•
See generator manufacturer's operating
information for specific instructions.
•
Reduce all electrical loads. (Shut off lights,
fans, appliances, etc.)
•
If the generator has not been run for two
weeks or more, you may need to prime the
fuel system before attempting to start.
Starting
•
Press the generator starter switch on and
hold until generator engine is running, then
release.
•
Let the generator engine stabilize and run
smoothly before turning appliances or elec-
trical equipment on.
