FUSES
Fuses for the motor home chaSSIS CIrCUit are located on a panel
under the dash behind the steeling column. See your Chassis
Operator's Manual for further information. Optional equipment
may have additronal fuses installed. Refer to the equipment
instructions for information.
NOTE: If fuse replacement is necessary, replace with fuses of
the same amperage rating.
AUXILIARY BATTERIES
The motor home is equipped with dual auxiliary 12-volt batteries.
The auxiliary batteries are the primary source for normal living-
area power needs. Sensing and switching circuits permit the
vehicle alternator to charge both batteries as required and
prevent the living area'12-volt requirements from depleting the
vehicle battery. If the main vehicle battery becomes discharged,
the auxiliary batteries may be used to start the vehicle using the
Auxiliary Start circuit or with the use of jumper cables available
at most automotive or hardware stores.
NOTE: All radio and tape decks draw from the auxiliary battery
and extended usage may discharge it.
When not plugged into a 115-volt source operate the
generator for 2 hours periodically to keep the auxiliary
battery charged. Electrical appliances and lights can
rapidly discharge the battery.
AUXILIARY GENERATOR POWER PLANT (Optional)
The optional· engine-driven 115-voltgenerator power plant is
located 'in a special compartment. This generator option has a
.siarting',systemwhichuses the auxiliary battery. Controls are at
the generator and at a remote control panel located inside the
driver's compartment.
The 115-volt output of the generator is connected directly to a
receptacle located inside the power cord storage compartment.
With the generator power plant operating and the power cord
plugged into this receptacle, power is conducted through the
circuit breaker panel to supply all of the 115-volt power
requirements of the motor home, just as if the cord were
connected to an external power source.
Gasoline for the generator is taken from the main fuel tank
thro~gh
a special feeder tube which is higher in the tank than the
feeder tube to the motor home. This prevents the generator from
running the motor home fuel tank dry.
NOTE: Refer to your Generator Power Plant Manufacturer's
, Instruction Manual (provided in your Owner's Information
Kit) for service informaL·)n before starting the generator.
Do not start unit with a heavy power load. Always start
the generator, wait at least three minutes, then turn on
(or plug in) heavy electrical loads,·.suchas the roof air
