Generator Fuel Supply; Generator Operation - Fleetwood 1999 Discovery Parts And Service Manual

With the generator operating, power is available at all of the
120-volt power outlets in the motor home, just as if the main
power cord were connected to an external source. The gener-
ator is also connected to the power converter, and will supply
12-volt DC power as well.
Fuel for the generator is taken from a separate LP fuel tank.
This arrangement prevents the generator from running the
motor home LP gas tank dry.
The generator LP tank is located between the chassis frame
rails and is filled by means of a remote tank fill panel. The
panel is located in the same compartment as the appliance
LP
c
tank . It is equipped with a shut-off switch that will stop
the flow of LP from the tank in the event of an emergency.
The precautions that apply to filling the appliance LP tank
also apply to the generator LP tank.
To start the generator:
Be sure the shut-off switch on the remote fill panel is in the ON
pOSition.
Press START switch until generator is running.
