Generator Operating Safety
Precautions
Read and understand the generator operating,
maintenance and safety instruction furnished in
your
Owner's Information Package.
•
Do
not smoke or use an open flame near
the generator unit
or
fuel tank.
• Do not use generator ventilation air for
heating any space.
• Check engine fuel lines. Fuel leakage in or
around the compartment is an extreme
fire
hazard.
Do
not use the generator until fuel
leaks are repaired.
•
Be
aware
of
exhaust gas (carbon monox-
ide) poisoning symptoms. Refer to the sec-
tion
on
Carbon Monoxide Safety
Precautions
in
the On The Road chapter.
• Check the generator exhaust system after
every usage and whenever the system may
have been damaged, and repair any leaks or
obstructions before further operation.
Disconnect the battery(ies) before pelform-
ing any maintenance on the generator. Allow
the generator to cool before peIforming any
maintenance.
• Do not use the generator as an emergency
power source to a general residential or
industrial utility line. This is illegal and
may cause shock or electrocution to power
line utility personnel attempting to repair
power lines.
A WARNING
Do
not place flammable material or store any other
materials
in
the generator compartment.
A WARNING
Do not operate the generator when parked in or near
high grass or brush. Exhaust component heat may
cause a fire.
08-6
A WARNING
Do not modify the generator installation or exhaust
system
in
any
way.
Do not use the generator
as
an
emergency power
source to a
general residential or industrial utility line.
This is illegal and may cause shock or electrocution to
power
line utility personnel attempting to repair power
lines.
A WARNING
Do
not block the generator ventilating air inlets or out-
lets. The engine requires a constant supply of cooling
air. Restricted ventilating air inlets or outlets can
cause engine
failure.
A WARNING
Exhaust gases are deadly. Inspect the generator
exhaust system
thoroughly before starting the gener-
ator engine.
Do
not block the tail pipe
or
situate the
motor home in a
place where the exhaust gases have
any possibility of
accumulating either outside, under-
neath, or inside your
vehicle
or
any nearby vehicles.
Outside
air movements
can
carry exhaust gases
inside the vehicle through windows or other openings
remote from the generator exhaust.
Operate the gen-
erator
only when safe dispersion of exhaust gases
can be assured, and monitor outside conditions
to
be
sure that exhaust gases continue
to
be dispersed
safely.
Generator Cooling System
The
generator is liquid cooled. The cooling sys-
tem includes a radiator, cooling fan, water
pump, a coolant reservoir/recovery container,
and is similar to the automotive engine cooling
system.
Check and maintain the coolant level at the
coolant recovery container located
on
the front
of
the generator.
A CAUTION
Do
not check the coolant system at the radiator cap
when the generator is hot. Check the system at the
coolant recovery container only.
