GENERATOR
OPERATION
The
generator
compartment
door is located
on the
roadside
of
the coach,
ex-
cept
in the
26OORB
model
where
it is
located
midway
curbside.
Additional
technical
information
regarding
parts
and
operation
are included
from the
manufacturer
with
your
owner’s
packet.
The compartment
walls
are
con-
structed
of
fire retardant
materials
and insulated
to reduce
generator
noise
to
the
lowest
point
possible.
During
early
use
of
the generator,
heavy
exhaust
smoke
may appear.
This is
normal
and
is
caused
by
a special
oil used
by the
manufacturer.
Be sure
to
check
the
oil
level
after
each
6 to 8 hours
ofgenerator
operation.
Oil should
be
selected
in accordance
with
the manufacturer’s
recommendation.
To
start the
auxiliary
generator,
turn the battery
selector
switch
to
the posi-
tion
marked
BOTH.
Locate
the starting
switch
on the
dashboard
or
in Apollo
Central
Control.
Hold
the
switch in
the START
position
until
the generator
starts.
The
red light
on the
dashboard
will come
on
without
ickering
when
the
generator
is running.
Do
not hold
the switch
in the
UP position
for
more
than
ten
(10)
seconds.
lf
the
generator
fails

wait ten
(10)
seconds
and

windows
on
generator
side
of rear
bath models
when

ACCESSORY
CIRCUIT
BREAKERS
On the
right-hand
wall
of the
generator
compartment
are
the accessory
cir-
cuit
breaker
switches
for
the
generator.
A
heavy
overload
will
cause
these
switches
to
activate,
cutting
off the
supply
of
electricity
from
the
auxiliary
generator
to
these accessories.
In
the event
that
this
should
occur,
turn
off
the
electrical
appliances.
Generally,
breaker
switches
will
be
activated
when
too
many
appliances
are
operated
on one
circuit.
Before
resetting
switches,
attempt
to remedy
this condition.
The
vacuum
cleaner,
rear
air conditioner
and
blender
are the
above
mentioned
accessories.
