Section 2 – Operation Recreational Vehicle Generator 2.4.2 ENGINE LUBRICATION Have the engine crankcase properly serviced with the recommended oil before starting. Refer to sections "Engine Oil Requiremtents", "Checking the Engine Oil Level" and "Changing the Engine Oil and/or Oil Filter" for oil servicing procedures and recommendations. -
Page 11: Stopping The Generator
STOPPING THE GENERATOR 1. Turn OFF all electrical loads using the means provided (such as a main circuit breaker or transfer switch). 2. Let generator run at no-load for a few minutes, to stabilize internal engine generator temperatures. 3. Place the Start/Stop switch in its STOP position. APPLYING LOADS TO GENERATOR When applying electrical loads to the generator, observe these guidelines:... -
Page 12: 2.10 Additional Information
Section 2 – Operation Recreational Vehicle Generator 2.9.3 FIELD BOOST The Controller Circuit Board houses a field boost diode and resistor that are not part of the automatic choke circuit. These two components are part of a “field boost” circuit (Figure 2.3). During engine cranking only, a positive DC (battery) voltage is delivered through the diode, resistor, brushes and slip rings, to the generator rotor. -
Page 13: Section 3 - Maintenance
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL For oil capacities and requirements, see “Engine Oil Requirements”. Check the engine crankcase oil level at least every eight hours of operation, or before each use. To check the engine oil level, proceed as follows (see Figure 3.1): 1. -
Page 14: Maintaining The Engine Air Cleaner
Section 3 – Maintenance Recreational Vehicle Generator NOTE: Check the oil level and fill to the “FULL ” mark after checking for leaks. The filter will retain some oil. MAINTAINING THE ENGINE AIR CLEANER 3.3.1 CLEANING THE FOAM PRECLEANER Clean and re-oil the foam precleaner every three months or every 25 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. -
Page 15: Fuel Filter
Figure 3.4 – Setting the Spark Plug Gap Sparking can occur if the wire terminal does not fit firmly on the spark plug terminal end. If nec- essary, re-form the wire terminal to obtain a tight fit. FUEL FILTER Remove and replace the fuel filter (Figure 3.5) once each year or every 400 hours of operation, whichever comes first. -

Page 20: Safety Rules
Safety Rules Recreational Vehicle Generator DANGER: For fire safety, installation of a generator into a recreational vehicle must comply strictly with article 551, NFPA 70; ANSI C1-1975; AND, ANSI A119.2-1975/NFPA 501C “Standard for Recreational Vehicles” (Part 3, “Installation of Electrical Systems”). In addition, installation must comply with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. - Page 21 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS • The generator covered by this manual produces dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, ter- minals, connections, etc., while the unit is running. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in place before operating the generator.

Section 2 – Installation Recreational Vehicle Generator LOCATION AND SUPPORT 2.1.1 GENERATOR LOCATION The most desirable location for the generator set is between the vehicle's main frame members. However, this is seldom possible. Most units must be installed on the side of the vehicle and are difficult to rein- force. -
Page 25: Generator Compartments
Figure 2.2 – Typical Suspended Mounting System GENERATOR MOUNTING HOLES FOR 5/16" - 18 BOLTS (6 PLACES) 2.1.4 GENERATOR RESTRAINT Use four 5/16"-18 hardened steel bolts (Grade 5) to fasten the generator to the supporting frame or the support tubing. These bolts must pass through (a) the generator mounting base, (b) the compartment floor (if a compartment is used) and (c) the support- ing framework (Figure 2.3). - Page 26 Section 2 – Installation Recreational Vehicle Generator • If constructing a compartment, line the exterior (underside) of the compartment floor with 26- gauge galvanized steel. • All seams, splices and joints of the compartment walls (unless vapor tight by design) should be caulked to prevent poisonous, flammable or explo- sive vapors from entering the vehicle interior.

Page 27: Cooling And Ventilating Air
Figure 2.7 – Typical Noise Abatement • Line the compartment interior walls and floor, as well as the underside of the floor, with 26-gauge galvanized steel. • Vapor seal all compartment seams and joints. • Over the galvanized steel lining, install a combi- nation of acoustical materials as mentioned in "Sound Insulating Materials". - Page 28 Section 2 – Installation Recreational Vehicle Generator Figure 2.8 – Compartment Floor Cutout (Drawing 0G3723-A)
