ELECTRicAL
SYSTEMS
The solar charging panel installed on 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 cunent to operate 12-volt DC electrical equip-
ment. 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.
You can use the Auxiliary Start System to start the chassis
engine or the generator with the house batteries if the chassis
batteries are discharged. If the chassis engine alternator is
operating 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 instrument
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 instrument
panel.
2. Press the Generator Start switch until the generator is
running.
3. Release the Auxiliary Start switch.
