Electrical Systems
WARNING
!
Do not modify the generator installation or exhaust
system in any way.
Do not use the generator as an emergency power
source to a general residential or industrial utility line.
This is illegal and may cause shock or electrocution to
power line utility personnel attempting to repair power
lines.
WARNING
!
Do not block the generator ventilating air inlets or out-
lets. The engine requires a constant supply of cooling
air. Restricted ventilating air inlets or outlets can
cause engine failure.
WARNING
!
Exhaust gases are deadly. Inspect the generator
exhaust system thoroughly before starting the gener-
ator engine. Do not block the tail pipe or situate the
motor home in a place where the exhaust gases have
any possibility of accumulating either outside, under-
neath, or inside your vehicle or any nearby vehicles.
Outside air movements can carry exhaust gases
inside the vehicle through windows or other openings
remote from the generator exhaust. Operate the gen-
erator only when safe dispersion of exhaust gases
can be assured, and monitor outside conditions to be
sure that exhaust gases continue to be dispersed
safely.

Generator Fuel Supply

Fuel for the gasoline or diesel generator is taken
from the main fuel tank through a special feeder
tube which is higher in the tank than the feeder
tube to the motor home engine. This arrange-
ment prevents the generator from running the
motor home fuel tank dry.
Propane Generator
Fuel is provided from the Propane tank.

Generator Operations

To start the generator:
1. Press generator remote switch until generator
is running.
08 6
(If Equipped)
2. To stop the unit, press switch and release.
If the generator is slow to start, DO NOT hold
the switch in the START position for more than
10 seconds. Release the switch, wait 15 sec-
onds, then try to start again. This will help avoid
overheating and damage to the generator start-
ing system.

NOTE
Refer to the generator operating instructions provided
in your Owner's Information Package for informa-
tion before starting the generator. Do not start the
generator unit with a heavy power load. Always wait
at least three minutes after starting generator before
turning on (or plugging in) heavy electrical loads, such
as the roof air conditioner.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -
50 AMP FOR ADDITIONAL
APPLICATION
Intellitec's Smart Energy Management System -
50 AMP (Smart EMS) is designed to be used in
RVs equipped with 50 AMP electrical service.
The system senses when the coach is connected
to a 50 AMP service and allows simultaneous
operations of all the 120 volt loads. When 50
AMP service is not available and the coach is
connected to a smaller electrical service, such as
a generator source, 30 AMP or 20 AMP service,
the system automatically takes control of the
loads to practically eliminate circuit breaker trip-
ping. It constantly monitors the total amount of
current drawn in the RV and controls the loads,
as necessary, to keep the total current to a value
less than, or equal to, the available power serv-
ice.
There is no programming necessary and the unit
will work with any load within the circuit
breaker limits. The Smart EMS automatically
"learns" the amount of current drawn by each of
the controlled loads as it turns them "ON" and
"OFF". In this way, it automatically adapts to
differing loads or loads whose current changes
with line voltage or temperature.
