Solar Panel; Auxiliary Start System - Fleetwood 1999 Discovery Parts And Service Manual

ELECTRicAL SYSTEMS
The solar charging panel installed on the roof of your motor
home is designed to "trickle-charge" your battery systems. It
is not intended to be a fast charger. It also cannot supply
large amounts of current to operate 12-volt DC electrical
equipment. When the sky is clear and under bright sun, the
solar panel will help keep your batteries "topped-up". Do not
try to operate 12-volt DC appliances with the output of the
solar panel. A light on the monitor panel indicates when the
solar panel is operating.
The panel can be expanded with optional expansion panels.
Contact your dealer for more information on these optional
panels.
You can use the Auxiliary Start System to start the chassis
engine or the generator with the house batteries if the chassis
battery is discharged. If the chassis engine alternator is oper-
ating properly, both battery systems will be charged while
driving.
To use the Auxiliary Start System to start the chassis
engine:
1. Be sure the motor home is stopped. Shift the transmission
to N and apply the parking brake.
2. Press and hold the Auxiliary Start switch on the Instru-
ment panel.
3. Start the chassis engine with the ignition switch.
4. Release the Auxiliary Start switch.
To use the Auxiliary Start System to start the generator:
1. Press and hold the Auxiliary Start switch on the instru-
ment panel.
2. Press the generator start switch until the generator is
running.
3. Release the Auxiliary Start switch.
