GENERATOR
Page 1 of 4
Your motor home is equipped with a diesel-powered generator which will
provide complete electrical self-containment when regular public utility AC
power is unavailable. Controls are on the instrument panel~ and on the
generator.
With the generator operating, power is available at all of the 120-volt AC
power outlets in the motorhome, just as if the cord were connected to an
external source. The generator is also connected to the power
c~nverter,
thus
supplying 12-volt DC power as well. The generator circuit breakers must be
ON for the genel:ator to supply power to the motor home. The generator circuit
breakers are located on the generator .
. GENERATOR FUEL SUPPLY
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 running the motor home
fuel tank dry.
GENERATOR OPERATION
NOTE: Refer to the generator operating instructions
provided in your Owner's Information Package for
information before statting 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.
To start the generator:
,
1. Push the control switch to its START position and hold
it there while the status indicator light blinks rapidly
indicating preheat. Let go when the light comes on
continuously, indicating that the generator is running and
that the starter has been disconnected. (Depending on
how cold it is, preheat can take up to 15 seconds, extending
the time that the light blinks.)
