1. What should I do to maintain my generator?
Answer: During the initial break in period, you will need
to check your oil every 4 hours during the first 20 hours
of operation� Once you reach 20 hours of operation,
you will need to change the oil� (Refer to the Onan's
Owner's manual for more information);

2. My generator stalls out or quits running if I turn
a corner.
Answer: Make sure you check the oil level� There is a
sensor built into the generator that will shut the engine
down if it is too low� Turning the corner or stopping
quickly while oil is low can cause this to happen;

3. What size battery do I have in my Airstream
Rangeline?
Answer: Your Airstream is factory equipped a Battle
Born 270Ah 12V LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Gamechanger
3�0 House Battery; see House Battery on page 5-14�
4. My generator will not run properly while I am
showing I have ¼ tank of fuel; however, it runs
fine when tank is showing ½ or more.
Answer: This could be a demand issue� If you are
using other appliances, the outside temperature is
below 32°F, and the BTU output is lower than at 72°F,
the generator will not run properly� This would cause
the generator to stall out or run poorly by not creating
the proper 120 volts of power;

Rangeline is not being used or put into storage to
preserve battery charge� It disengages or engages
the 12-volt power supply from the house battery;

6. Do you recommend using a surge protector
when plugged into shore power?
Answer: Your Airstream is breaker protected� However,
with the use of more personal electronic devices and
the number of motorhome users in parks, added
protection is always a plus�
