Resetting The Circuit Breaker - Holiday Navigator 2003 Owner's Manual

If a circuit breaker trips in the main AC breaker panel, or on the generator
control panel, there may be a short circuit or too much load.
NOTE: The generator will continue to run after a circuit
breaker trips.
If a circuit breaker trips, disconnect or turn off as many loads as possible.
To reset the circuit breaker, switch the circuit breaker to OFF; then switch
back to ON to reconnect the circuit. If the circuit breaker immediately trips,
the electrical distribution system has a short or the circuit breaker is faulty.
Call a qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker does not trip, reconnect a
combination of loads that will not overload the generator or cause the circuit
breaker to trip again. Remember to compensate for elevation and temperature
changes when reconnecting loads.
NOTE: An appliance or load may have a short if it causes a
circuit breaker to trip after reconnection. DO NOT continue
to reset breaker. Have the problem corrected before resuming
operation.
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.
