WARNING
Do not modify the generator installation or
exhaust system in any way.
Do not use the generator as an emergency
power source to a general residential or industri-
al utility line. This is illegal and may cause shock
or electrocution to power line utility personnel
attempting to repair power lines.
!
WARNING
Do not block the generator ventilating air inlets
or outlets. The engine re quires a constant supply
of cooling air. Restricted ventilating air inlets or
outlets can cause engine failure.
!
WARNING
Exhaust gases are deadly. Inspect the genera-
tor exhaust system thoroughly before starting
the generator engine. Do not block the tail pipe
or situate the motor home in a place where the
exhaust gases have any possibility of accu-
mulating either outside, underneath, or inside
your vehicle or any nearby vehicles. Outside
air movements can carry exhaust gases inside
the vehicle through windows or other openings
remote from the generator exhaust. Operate the
generator only when safe dispersion of exhaust
gases can be assured, and monitor outside con-
ditions to be sure that exhaust gases continue to
be dispersed safely.
!
WARNING
When operating the on-board generator for electrical
power and using the overhead kitchen vent fan,
regardless of the outside temperature, open a
window "slightly". This will reduce the chances of
drawing harmful Carbon Monoxide into the passenger
compartment.

Generator Fuel Supply

Fuel for the gasoline or diesel 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 arrange-
ment prevents the generator from running the
motor home fuel tank dry.
08-6
Propane Generator
Fuel is provided from a dedicated Propane tank.

Generator Operations

To start the generator:
1. Press generator remote switch until generator
is running.
2. To stop the unit, press switch and release.
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 over-
heating and damage to the generator starting
system .
NOTE
3
Refer to the generator operating instructions provided
in your Owner's Information Package for informa-
tion before starting the generator. 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 conditioner.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
- 50 AMP FOR ADDITIONAL
APPLICATION
Intellitec's Smart Energy Management System -
50 AMP (Smart EMS) is designed to be used in
RVs equipped with 50 AMP electrical service.
The system senses when the coach is connected
to a 50 AMP service and allows simultaneous
operations of all the 120 volt loads. When 50
AMP service is not available and the coach is
connected to a smaller electrical service, such as
a generator source, 30 AMP or 20 AMP service,
the system automatically takes control of the
loads to practically eliminate circuit breaker
tripping. It constantly monitors the total amount
of current drawn in the RV and controls the loads,
as necessary, to keep the total current to a value
less than, or equal to, the available power service.
