the exhaust system. Do not use the generator if the exhaust system is damaged. Test
the carbon monoxide detector every time you use the motorhome. Know what the
symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are:
• Dizziness • Vomiting • Nausea • Muscular twitching • Intense headache
• Throbbing in the temples • Weakness and sleepiness
If you or anyone else experience any of these symptoms get to fresh air immediately.
Shut the generator down and do not operate it until it has been inspected and repaired
by a professional. If the symptoms persist seek medical attention!
1. DO NOT operate the generator while sleeping. You would not be
aware of exhaust entering the motorhome, or alert to symptoms of
carbon monoxide poisoning.
2. NEVER store anything in the generator compartment. Always keep the
compartment clean and dry.
3. DO NOT operate the generator in an enclosed building or in a partly
enclosed area such as a garage.
4. REVIEW the safety precautions for fuel and exhaust fumes elsewhere in
this manual.
5. DO NOT operate the generator when the motorhome is parked in high
grass or brush. Heat from the exhaust could cause a fire in dry
conditions.
6. NEVER operate the chassis or generator engine, or the engine of any
vehicle, longer than necessary when the vehicle is parked.
7. DO NOT simultaneously operate generator and a ventilator which could
result in the entry of exhaust gas.
8. When parked, position the motorhome so that the wind will carry the
exhaust away from the motorhome. DO NOT open nearby windows,
ventilators, or doors into the passenger compartment, particularly those
which can be "down wind", even part of the time.
9. DO NOT operate the generator when parked in close proximity to
vegetation, snow, buildings, vehicles, or any other object which could
deflect the exhaust under or into the motorhome.
10. DO NOT touch the generator when running, or immediately after shutting
off. Heat from the generator can cause burns. Allow the generator to cool
before attempting maintenance or service.
The generator draws fuel from the motorhome chassis fuel tank. The fuel supply line
for the generator is placed higher in the fuel tank than that of the fuel supply line for the
chassis engine, this prevents the generator from draining all the fuel from the fuel tank.
Note:
Some models may require you to plug the 30 amp shoreline
into the generator outlet provided in the shoreline storage
compartment.
To start the generator locate the generator start switch, which is located at one of the
following locations:
