OPERATION WARNINGS AND
CAUTIONS
WARNING
The exhaust of all internal combus-
tion engines contains carbon monox-
ide (CO). This poisonous gas is
colorless, odorless, tasteless, and
lighter than air. The exhaust systems
of both your motor home engine and
your generator engine have been
installed with your safety in mind.
However, certain precautions must be
taken when using them to protect
yourself from conditions beyond the
control of the manufacturer.
1. Do not simultaneously operate the generator
engine and a ventilator which could draw
exhaust gases into the vehicle.
2. Do not open windows or ventilators on the
end or side of the vehicle where exhaust pipe
of the generator is located.
3. Park the vehicle so that the wind will carry
the exhaust away from the vehicle. Also,
note the position of other vehicles to be sure
their exhaust will not enter your vehicle.
4. Do not operate the generator engine when
parked if vegetation, snow, buildings, vehi-
cles, or any other object can deflect the
exhaust under or into the vehicle.
Check auxiliary generator oil level frequently
during periods of use. Refer to the generator
manufacturer's information in your Owner Info-
Case for specific recommendations.
WARNING
Never check generator oil level while
generator engine is running.
