COACH FUSES
AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The 120-volt circuit breakers and 12-volt fuses are
located in the same compartment. These devices inter-
rupt the power if the circuit is overloaded.
The 120-volt circuit breakers include a 30 or 50 amp
main breaker and several smaller breakers for individual
circuits. If a circuit breaker is tripped,lookfor an overload
on the circuit, then reset it by turning the breaker OFF
and then turning it ON. Do not try to reset a breaker the
second time without locating the overload problem.
The 12-volt fuses protect individual circuits. lithe circuit
is overloaded, it will blow the fuse and the fuse must be
replaced. Check the circuit for an overload and replace
the fuse with the same type or amperage rating.
WARNING
DO NOT INSTALL 12-VOLT FUSES OR 120-
VOLT BREAKERS WITH AMPERAGE RAT-
INGS GREATERTHANTHAT SPECIFIED ON
THE DEVICE OR LABEL. DOING SO CON-
STITUTES A FIRE HAZARD
GENERATOR
Your motor home is equipped with a gasoline-powered
generator which will provide complete electrical self-
containment when regular public utility AC power is
unavailable. Controls are at the generator and at a
remote control panel located inside the motor home.
With the generator operating, power is available at all of
the 120-volt power outlets in the motor home, just as if
the cord were connected to an external source. The
generator is also connected to the power converter, thus
supplying 12-volt power as well.
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 in-
structions provided in your Owner's Informa-
tion Package for information before starting
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, hold the switch in the START
position until the unit starts, then release the switch. If
the generator does not start, wait 15 seconds, then
repeat. This will help avoid overheating and damage to
the generator starting system. To stop the unit, hold the
switch to the STOP position until the engine stops. If you
release the switch too soon, the engine will continue to
run.
Generator Operating Safety Precautions
Read and understand the generator operating, mainte-
nance and safety instructions furnished in yourOwner's
Information Package.
Do not smoke or use an open flame near the generator
unit or fuel tank.
WARNING
DO NOT PLACE FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
OR STORE ANY OTHER MATERIALS INTHE
GENERATOR COMPARTMENT.
WARNING
DO NOT BLOCK THE GENERATOR VENTI-
LATING AIR INLETS OR OUTLETS. THE
ENGINE REQUIRES A CONSTANT SUPPLY
OF COOLING AIR. RESTRICTED VENTILAT-
ING AIR INLETS OR OUTLETS CAN CAUSE
ENGINE FAILURE OR FIRE FROM ENGINE
OVERHEATING.
Do not use generator ventilating air for heating any
interior living space. Ventilating air can contain high
concentrations of lethal gases.
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.
