the original location. Never use a higher rated replacement fuse.
Replacement fuses must be of the same voltage, amperage rating and type.
Never use a higher rated replacement fuse; doing so may cause a fire by
overheating the RV wiring.
The fuse panel label should be kept permanently affixed to your motor home. The
fuses will not offer complete protection of the motor home electrical system in the
event of a power surge or spike.
Replacement fuses must be of the same voltage, amperage rating and type.

The factory-installed generator will produce 120-volt AC power for use when
camping in areas where shore power is unavailable. 120-volt power from the
generator is output to the AC distribution center by way of a factory-installed
automatic transfer switch. In the default mode, the automatic transfer switch
connects the generator to the AC distribution center when the generator is
operating and shore power is disconnected.
When the generator is operating it will power the converter, which in turn will
charge the house and chassis batteries. The generator requires 12-volt power
from the house batteries to start and draws fuel from the chassis fuel tank. If the
fuel tank drops to or below 1/4 full, the generator will automatically shut off to keep
the motor home from being stranded. Be aware the generator, when operating,
gives off carbon monoxide.
Before starting the generator
1. Make sure the carbon monoxide detector is working.
2. Turn "off" air conditioners and all other appliances.
3. Check for fuel, exhaust and coolant leaks.
STOP the generator immediately if there is a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak
and have it repaired!
CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! Do not run the generator when your
motor home is indoors or in a confined space. Asphyxiation or carbon
monoxide poisoning hazards exist whenever generator exhaust gasses can
accumulate.
Excessive cranking can overheat and damage the generator starter motor. Do
not crank for more than 20 seconds at a time. Wait at least two minutes
before trying again. If the generator does not start after the third try, refer to
the generator manufacturer's user manual for more information.
