ELECTRicAL
SYSTEMS
Your motor home may be equipped with a gasoline powered
generator.
It
will provide complete electrical self-contain-
ment when regular public utility AC power is unavailable, or
use
of
the inverter is not practical. Controls are located at the
generator and at a remote control panel located on the
instru-
ment panel.
With the generator operating, power is available at all
of
the
120-volt power outlets in the motor home, just as
if
the main
power cord were connected to an external source. The
gener-
ator is also connected to the power converter, and will supply
12-volt DC power as well.
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 running the motor home fuel
tank
dry.
To
start
the generator:
1.
Press START switch until generator
is
running.
2.
To
stop the unit, hold the switch in the STOP position until
the engine stops completely. If you release the switch too
soon, the engine
will continue to run.
If
the generator
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 try to start again. This will help avoid
overheating and damage to the generator
starting system.
