WARNING
Careless handling of the generator
and electrical components can be fa-
tal.
Never touch electrical leads or appli-
ances when your hands are wet, or
when standing in water or on wet
ground.
Do not attempt to repair the generator
yourself. Service should be performed
by an authorized service center.
Automatic Power Transfer Switch
Your coach electrical system is equipped with
an automatic generator power transfer switch.
The transfer switch is normally in an "off" mode
when no AC current is required.
When the generator is started, the transfer unit
will switch the power feed to the generator after
20 seconds. The twenty-second delay is to allow
the generator to start easily without an electrical
load.
Generator Power Switches: For your conve-
nience we have mounted generator power
switches in three locations throughout the coach;
in addition to the switch on the generator itself:
· Instrument Panel
· Systems Monitor Panel
· Bedroom (underside of cabinet above bed)
Starting The Diesel Generator
1. Press and hold the generator switch ON.
2. If the engine is cold, the starter will not
engage until after the glow plugs have pre-
heated the engine for a few seconds for
easier starting.
3. If the engine is already warm, the starter will
immediately engage to start the engine.
4. Hold the starter switch on for several
seconds to allow the generator to reach full
operating voltage, then release.

5. Allow the generator to stabilize running
before turning on appliances.
6. Apply electrical loads. Refer to SPECIFI-
CATIONS section of generator manual for
generator set output and performance
ratings. Then refer to the following chart to
aid in determining appliance usage during
generator operation.
CAUTION
Continuous generator overloading
can cause high operating tempera-
tures that can damage the generator
windings. Keep the electrical loads
within the generator wattage rating.
