CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! Do not run the generator when
your motor home is indoors or in a confined space.
DO NOT use the AGS AUTO ON or QUIET ON modes (if so equipped)
when your motor home is indoors or in a confined space.
Asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning hazards exist whenever gen-
erator exhaust gasses can accumulate.
MOVING PARTS AND ELECTRICITY can cause severe personal in-
jury or death. To reduce exposure to these hazards, always disable AGS
(if so equipped) before:
Sleeping in vehicle, unless vehicle has a working CARBON MONOX-
IDE detector.
Parking vehicle in garage or confined space.
Parking vehicle for storage.
Servicing vehicle for storage.
Servicing generator.
Servicing batteries.
Servicing appliances or electrical systems.
Fueling the vehicle.
Before Starting the Generator
1. Make sure the carbon monoxide detector is working.
Turn off air conditioners and all other 120-volt appliances.
2.
3. Check for fuel, exhaust and coolant leaks.
STOP the generator immediately if there is a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak. Have all
leaks repaired prior to placing the generator back in service.
Excessive usage can overheat and damage the generator starter motor. Do not
engage the starter motor for more than 20 seconds at a time. If the generator
does not start after the first attempt, wait at least two minutes before beginning
another start sequence. If the generator does not start after a third attempt,
refer to the generator owner's manual for additional information.
Transfer switch
For more information, see the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) section..
™ NOTE: The diesel generator requires 12-volt power from the house auxiliary
batteries to start, and draws diesel fuel to operate from the chassis fuel tank.
If the fuel level in the chassis fuel tank drops to or below 1/4 full, the genera-
tor will shut off and cannot be re-started until the fuel tank is filled to above
1/4 full.
Maintenance
During periods of extended storage:
1. Add a diesel fuel additive to the chassis fuel tank to prevent algae growth (only with a
diesel fueled generator).
