Generator - Fleetwood 1996 Vision PaceArrow Owner's Manual

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Your motor home may be equipped with a gasoline- or diesel-
powered generator. It will provide complete electrical self-
containment when regular public utility AC power is unavail-
able, or use of the inverter is not practical. Controls are located
at the generator and at a remote control panel located on the
instrument panel.
With the generator operating, power is available at all of the
120-volt power outlets in the motor home, just as if the main
power cord were connected to an external source. The genera-
tor is also connected to the power converter, and will supply
12-volt DC power as well.
Fuel 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 mnning the motor home fuel tank
dry.
To start the generator:
1. Press START switch until generator is running.
2. To stop the unit, hold the switch in the STOP position until
the engine stops completely. If you release the switch too
soon, the engine will continue to run.
If the generator is slow to start, DO NOT hold the switch in
the START position for more than 10 seconds. Release the
switch, wait 15 seconds, then try to start again. This will
help avoid overheating and damage to the generator starting
system.
WARNING
Do not operate the gen-
erator when parked in or
near high grass or brush.
Exhaust heat may cause
a fire.
