GFCI:
1.
Connect the main power cord to l20-volt
AC.
2.
Push the
TEST
button. The
RESET
button
should pop out, indicating that the
pro-
tected circuit has been disconnected.
3.

of
ground
fault protection is indicated.

A WARNING
Do
not install 12-volt fuses or 120-volt breakers with
amperage ratings greater than that specified
on
the
device
or
label. Doing so constitutes a fire hazard.
Generator (If Equipped)
Your motor home is equipped with a diesel
powered generator which will provide complete
electrical self-containment when regular public
utility AC power is unavailable. Controls are on
the instmment panel, rear bedroom nightstand
and on the generator.
With the generator operating, power is available
at all
of
the 120-volt power outlets in the motor
home, just as
if
the power cord were connected
to an external source. The generator is also
con-
nected to the power converter, thus supplying
12-volt power as well. The generator circuit
breakers are located on the generator.
A WARNING
Do
not under any circumstances operate the genera-
tor while sleeping.
You
would not be able to monitor
outside conditions to assure that generator exhaust
does not enter the interior, and you
would not be alert
to exhaust odors or symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Electrical
Systems
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 mnning the motor home fuel tank
dry.
Propane Generator (If Equipped)
Fuel is provided from a dedicated Propane tank.

there while the status
indicator light blinks rapidly indicating
preheat. Let go when the light comes on
continuously, indicating that the generator
is mnning and that the starter has been
disconnected. (Depending on how cold
it
is, preheat can take up to
15
seconds,
extending the time that the light blinks.)
A CAUTION
Excessive cranking can overheat and damage the
starter motor.
Do
not crank for more than 30 seconds
at a time. Wait at
least 2 minutes before trying again.
