Generator Exercise; To Turn Inverter On - Monaco DIPLOMAT 2004 Owner's Manual

If use of the generator is infrequent, "exercise" the generator once a
month by operating it at approximately half the maximum rated output for
two hours. This "exercise" will help promote better starting, more reliable
operation and longer engine life. This procedure drives off moisture,
relubricates the internal engine parts and replaces the old stale fuel with a
fresh supply. It also promotes removing oxides from the electrical switches
and contacts.
NOTE: Avoid short run periods of the generator set. Run
the generator set under a load for a minimum of one-half
hour.
The inverter performs two functions: Changing DC battery power to AC
electrical power and charging the batteries when hooked to shore power or
operating from the generator. Use the inverter to supply AC power when
shore power is not available and the generator is not going to be used as a
secondary AC power source. The inverter supplies AC power to most
receptacles, the television and microwave. It is important to remember that
using the inverter quickly consumes house battery power. Turn off the
inverter when not in use to conserve house battery power. The remote control
is used to change the variable settings.

To turn Inverter On:

• Press the switch marked INVERT on the remote panel.
