CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! Do not run the generator when
your RV is indoors or in a confined space. Asphyxiation or carbon mon-
oxide poisoning hazards exist whenever generator exhaust gasses can accu-
mulate.
MOVING PARTS AND ELECTRICITY can cause severe personal injury
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.
DO NOT run the generator or use the AGS AUTO ON or QUIET ON
modes (if so equipped) when your RV is indoors or in a confined space.
Asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning hazards exist whenever genera-
tor exhaust gasses can accumulate.

Excessive cranking can overheat and damage the generator starter motor. Do
not crank for more than 20 seconds at a time. Wait at least two minutes before
trying again. If the generator does not start after the third try, refer to the gen-
erator manufacturer's user manual for more information.
For better performance and engine life, especially in colder weather, let the generator engine
warm up for two minutes before turning "on" 120-volt appliances.
