Replace terminals that are worn, discolored, or
corroded. Keep terminals clean and tight.
5. Do not alter or adjust any part of the
equipment or its engine that is sealed by the
manufacturer or distributor. Only a qualified
service technician may adjust parts that may
increase or decrease governed engine speed.
6. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, heavy-duty
work gloves, and dust mask/respirator during service.
7. Maintain labels and nameplates on the

For Engine technical questions, please call 1-800-520-0882.
8. Have the equipment serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the equipment
is maintained. Do not attempt any service or
maintenance procedures not explained in this
manual or any procedures that you are uncertain
about your ability to perform safely or correctly.
9. Store equipment out of the reach of children.
10. Follow scheduled engine and
equipment maintenance.
Refueling:
1. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames,
or other sources of ignition around the
equipment, especially when refuelling.
2. Do not refill the fuel tank while the
engine is running or hot.
3. TO PREVENT FUEL LEAKAGE AND FIRE
HAZARD, Do not overfill with fuel. Fill with
fuel according to the Fuel Level information
below the Specification chart for your model.
4. Do not fill fuel tank to the top. Leave a little
room for the fuel to expand as needed.
5. Refuel in a well-ventilated area only.
6. Wipe up any spilled fuel and allow excess
to evaporate before starting engine.
To prevent FIRE, do not start the engine
while the smell of fuel hangs in the air.

The fuse box location is not explicitly mentioned in the provided context. However, the context does mention a "Case, Fuse Connector" and "Fuse, Rectifier (5A)," which suggests that fuses are part of the control panel assembly. Based on this, the fuse box is likely located near or within the control panel of the Predator 6500 Watt generator.

My pretador 6500 is used to power my RV but the lights keep dimming . It sounds nice and steady I checked the oil and fuel ect but it's still dimming.

Dim lights when using a Predator 6500 Watt generator to power an RV could be caused by several factors:

1. Overloaded Generator – If the total wattage of connected appliances exceeds the generator's capacity, voltage may drop, causing lights to dim.
2. Start-Up Wattage Demand – Appliances with motors, such as air conditioners or refrigerators, require extra power when starting, which can temporarily reduce available voltage.
3. Faulty or Loose Connections – Poor or loose connections between the generator and RV can cause voltage drops, leading to dimming lights.
4. Fuel or Engine Issues – If the generator's engine is not running smoothly due to fuel problems or maintenance issues, it may not produce consistent power.
5. Grounding Problems – If the generator is not properly grounded, it could cause unstable voltage output.

To troubleshoot, check the total load on the generator, ensure proper connections, and verify that the generator is running correctly.
