Electrical Systems
A.
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 industrial utility line.
This is illegal and may cause shock or electrocution to
power line utility personnel attempting to repair power
lines.
A.
WARNING
Do not block the generator ventilating air inlets or out-
lets. The engine requires a constant supply of cooling
air. Restricted ventilating air inlets or outlets can
cause engine failure.
A.
WARNING
Exhaust gases are deadly. Inspect the generator
exhaust system thoroughly before starting the gener-
ator engine. Do not block the tail pipe or situate the
motor home in a place where the exhaust gases have
any possibility of accumulating either outside, under-
neath, 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 gen-
erator only when safe dispersion of exhaust gases
can be assured, and monitor outside conditions to be
sure that exhaust gases continue to be dispersed
safely.
Generator Fuel Supply
Fuel for the 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 arrangement
prevents the generator from running the motor
home fuel tank dry.
Generator Operations
To start the generator:
1. Push and hold the switch at START until
the genset starts. The status indicator light
on the switch flashes during preheat and
08-6
cranking. It will come on solid when the
starter disconnects, indicating that the
genset is running. (Depending on how
cold it is, preheat can take up to 15 sec-
onds, extending the time that the light
blinks.)
2. To stop the unit, hold the switch in the
STOP position until the engine stops com-
pletely. If you release the switch too soon,
the engine will continue to run.

NOTE
I
Refer to the generator operating instructions provided
in your Owner's Information Package for information
before starting the generator. Do not start the gener-
ator 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.
Automatic Generator Start Control
System (If Equipped)
The Automatic Generator Start Control System
(AGS) performs two distinct functions:
1. Start the auxiliary generator automati-
cally in response to low battery voltage.
-The AGS continuously monitor the coach
battery system and will start the generator
automatically if the voltage falls below
11.5 volts.
2. Start the auxiliary generator automati-
cally in response to air conditioning
requests.
*The AGS continuously monitors the ther-
mostat of the air conditioning system and
starts the auxiliary generator, if the temper-
ature rises to the preset level requiring con-
ditioning.
Main Features
Easy to use push button operation controls all
functions of the AGS.
