WARNING
Do not block the genera-
tor ventilating air inlets or
outlets. The engine re-
quires a constant supply
of cooling air. Restricted
ventilating air inlets or
outlets can cause engine
failure or fire from engine
overheating.
WARNING
Exhaust gases are
deadly. Inspect the gen-
erator exhaust system
thoroughly before start-
ing the generator engine.
Do not block the tail pipe
or situate the motor
home in a place where
the exhaust gases have
any possibility of accu-
mulating either outside,
underneath, or inside
your vehicle or any
nearby vehicles. Outside
air movements can carry
exhaust gases inside the
vehicle through windows
or other openings re-
mote from the generator
exhaust. Operate the
generator only when
safe dispersion of ex-
haust gases can be as-
sured, and monitor out-
side conditions to be
sure that exhaust gases
continue to be dispersed
safely.
WARNING
Do not modify the gen-
erator installation or ex-
haust system in any way.
