Generator Operating Safety Precautions - Fleetwood PaceArrow Vision Manual

Read and understand the generator operating, maintenance
and safety instruction furnished in your Owner's
Information Package.
»
Do not smoke or use an open flame near the generator
unit or fuel tank.
»
Do not use generator ventilation air for heating any inte-
rior living space. Ventilating air can contain high concen-
trations of deadly gases, including carbon monoxide.
»
Check engine fuel lines often. Fuel leakage in or around
the compartment is an extreme fire hazard. Do not use
the generator until fuel leaks are repaired.
»
Be aware of exhaust gas (carbon monoxide) poisoning
symptoms. Refer to the section on Carbon Monoxide
Safety Precautions in the On The Road chapter.
»
Check the generator exhaust system after every eight
hours of operation and whenever the system may have
been damaged, and repair any leaks or obstructions
before further operation. Disconnect the battery before
performing any maintenance on the generator. Allow the
generator to cool before performing any maintenance.
»
Do not use the generator as an emergency power source
to a general residential or industrial utility line. This is
illegal and may cause shock or electrocution to power
line utility personnel attempting to repair power lines.
WARNING
Do not modify the gener-
ator instaliation or
exhaust system in any
way.

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Do not block the genera-
tor ventilating air inlets or
outlets. The engine
requires a constant sup-
ply of cooling air.
Restricted ventilating air
inlets or outlets can
cause engine failure or
fire from engine
over-
heating.
WARNING
Exhaust gases are dead-
ly. Inspect the generator
exhaust system thor-
oughly before starting the
generator engine. Do not
block the tail pipe or situ-
ate the motor home in a
place where the exhaust
gases
have
any possibili-
ty of accumulating 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.
