Test the GFI at least once a month. To test the GFI,
connect to 120-volt AC:
Push the "TEST" button. The "RESET" button should
pop out, indicating that the protected circuit has
been disconnected.
IFTHE 'RESET' BUTTON DOES NOT POP OUT
WHEN THE TEST BUTTON IS PUSHED, A
LOSS OF GROUND FAULT PROTECTION IS
INDICATED. DO NOT USE ANY ELECTRICAL
OUTLETS. HAVE THE MOTOR HOME ELEC-
TRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED AT AN AUTHOR-
IZED FLEETWOOD SERVICE CENTER OR BY
A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. DO NOT USE
THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS
BEEN CORRECTED.
To restore power push the "RESET" button.
Your Owner's Information Package contains a card that
can be used to record test dates. Keep the card in a
conspicuous place and keep it. up to date.
COACH FUSES
AND j:IRCUIT BREAKERS
The 120-volt circuit breakers and 12·volt fuses are lo-
cated in the same compartment. These devices interrupt
the power if the circuit is overloaded.
The 120-volt circuit breakers include a 30 amp main
breaker and several smaller breakers for individual cir-
cuits.1f a circuit breaker is tripped, look for an overload on
the 9ircuit, then reset it by turning the breaker OFF and.
then turning it ON. Do not try to reset a breaker the
second time without locating the overload problem.
The 12-volt fuses protect individual circuits. If the circuit
is overloaded, it will blow the fuse and the fuse must be
replaced. Check the circuit for an overload and replace
the fuse with the same type or amperage rating.
WARNING
DO NOT INSTALL 12·VOLT FUSES OR 120-
. VOLT BREAKERS WITH AMPERAGE RAT·
INGS GREATER THAN THAT SPECIFIED ON
THE DEVICE OR LABEL. DOING SO CONSTI·
TUTES A FIRE HAZARD
GENERATOR
Your motor home may be equipped with a gasoline,
diesel, or LP gas-powered generator which will provide
complete electrical self-containment when regular public
utility AC power is unavailable. Controls are at the gen·
erator and at a remote control panel located inside the
motor home.
With the generator operating, power is available at all of
the 120-volt power outlets in the motor home, just as if the
cord were connected to an external source. The genera-
tor is also connected to the power converter, thus supply-
ing 12-volt power as well.
Generator Fuel Supply
Gasoline for the generator is taken from the main fuel
tank through a special feeder tube which is higher in the
tank than the feeder tube to the motor home engine. This
arrangement prevents the generator from running the
motor home fuel tank dry.
NOTE: If your motor home is diesel-powered and
yOU
have the optional LPG-powered generator,
the generator has )ts own separate fuel tank.
Generator Operation
NOTE: Refer to the generator operating instruc-
tions provided in your Owner's Information
Package for information before starting the gen-
erator. Do not start the generator unit with a
heavy power load. Always wait at least three
minutes after starting generator before turning
on (or plugging in) heavy electrical loads, such
as the roof air conditionflr.
To start the generator, hold the switch in the START
pOSition until the unit starts, then release the switch. If the
unit is slow to start, DO NOT hold the switch in the START
position for morethan 10 seconds. Release the switch,
wait 15 seconds, then repeat. This will help avoid over-
heating and. damage to the generator starting system. To
stop the unit, hold the switch to the STOP position until the
engine stops. If you release the switch too soon, the
engine will continue to run.
Your motor home may be equipped with the optional
LPG'powered generator. Please refer to the generator
operating Instructions in yourOwner's Information Pack-
age for more information on operating and maintaining
this generator .
Generator Operating Safety Precautions
Read and understand the generator operating, mainte-
nance and safety instructions furnished in your Owner's
Information Package.
