charged, the auxi liary battery may be used to start the
vehicle using the Emergency Start circuit (optional) or
with the use of jumper cables available at most auto-
motive or hardware stores.
NOTE:
All radios and tape decks draw from the veh-
icle battery and extended usage may deplete
it.
AUXILIARY GENERATOR POWER PLANT (Optional
The engine-driven 115-volt generator power plant (if in-
stalled) is located in a special compartment (refer to Fig-
ure 2). This generator option has a self-starting system
which includes the auxiliary battery. Starting controls
are at a .remote control panel located inside the motor
home and at the generator location. Refer to Figure 8
for the generator power system and typical auxiliary
control panel.
The 115-volt output of the 4.0 and 5.0 KW generator is
provided directly to a receptacle which is located inside
the power cord storage compartment for models with
the generator power plant option. 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 re-
quirements of the motor home, just as if the cord were
connected to an external power source. (6.5 KW gen-
erator has automatic switchover from shore power to
generator power - no recepticle).

NOTE:
Refer to generator power plant manufac-
turer's instructions (provided in your Owner
I nformation before starting the generator. Do
not start unit with a heavy power load. Al-
ways start the generator, wait at least three
minutes, then turn on (or plug in) heavyelec-
trical loads. (Example: when optional roof air
conditioner is installed.)
To start the generator, hold the switch in the START
position until the unit starts, then release the switch. If
unit is slow to start, DO NOT hold the switch in the
START position for more than 10 seconds. Release the
switch, wait 15 seconds, then repeat. This wi II help
avoid overheating the generator starting motor and may
prevent damage to the starting system. If the system
fails to start, manual starting instructions are discussed
in the General Power Plant Manufacturer's Instructions.
To stop the unit, hold switch to the STOP position un-
til the engine stops operating.
,
A clock/meter is in the control panel located inside the
motor home. This meter indicates the hours of running
time on the generator. Operating-hours information is
important in scheduling proper service maintenance for
the generator.
ROOF AIR CONDITIONER (Optional)
Your motor home may have one or two air conditioners
installed on the roof (refer to Figure 2) which use 115-
volt power from the generator power plant or from the
ground power source depending on system design. The
air conditioner has three controls on the lower panel of
the air conditioner, as shown in Figure 9. These are a
blower switch, a thermostat and an air-flow direction
control. A removable filter is located on the air con-
ditioner panel inside the vehicle. For best results, care-
fully follow all instructions provided by the air con-
ditioner manufacturer with regard to operation and
maintenance.
CAUTION
IF THE AIR CONDITIONER IS SWITCH OFF FOR
ANY REASON, WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE
STARTING IT AGAIN TO AVOID OVER-LOADING
CIRCUIT
BREAKERS.
