A GFCI outlet or breaker will
not protect against shock from a
normal current ow. For example:
a shock from touching both metal
prongs of an electrical cord or
appliance while plugging it in.
WARNING:
If a breaker or outlet
continually trips, do not
continue to reset breaker
or outlet until the problem
has been identified and
corrected.
NOTE:
The ground fault outlet or
breaker should be tested
once a month to ensure
it is operating. Press the
TEST button on the outlet
or breaker. It should trip
with an audible “click.”
The breaker or outlet will
not trip if AC power is not
present at the device. If
power is present and the
device will not trip, replace
it before using that circuit.
TRANSFER SWITCH
The transfer switch will
automatically select either
shore power or generator when
energized. In the event both
shore and generator power are
available, generator power will
override shore power after a 30
second delay. Once the generator
is shut down, shore power will be
available after a two second delay.
The transfer switch uses
electronics to monitor voltage
input for high or low voltage
conditions. If the incoming voltage
from the generator or shore power
exceeds 132 AC Volts, or if
voltage drops below 102 AC Volts,
the transfer switch automatically
disconnects electrical service to
prevent damage that can occur to
voltage sensitive equipment.
The transfer switch monitors
for faulty wiring from the power
pedestal and protects from reverse
polarity and the dangers of an open
neutral condition. A multi-mode
surge protection eliminates the
potential for power surges to enter
the motorhome through power
cables during electrical storms.
NOTE:
While the transfer switch
has surge protection,
sensitive electronic
equipment such as laptops
should be plugged into a
separate surge protector.
NOTE:
To prevent damage to
transfer switch contacts,
discontinue appliance
operation and turn off
auxiliary electrical loads
operated by outlets before
connecting/disconnecting
shore power or starting/
stopping the generator.
NOTE:
The electrical contacts
of the shore cord are not
electrically energized when
the generator is operating,
Shore Power Monitor
A shore power monitor is located
in the front passenger overhead
cabinet. Observe the monitor
after plugging into shore power
to conrm AC power is available.
The monitor displays Leg 1 and
Leg 2 voltage and the amperage
draw on each leg. The monitor also
displays faults, such as low and
high voltage.
GENERATOR
The generator is located in
the front compartment of the
motorhome. To open the generator
compartment, park on level ground
then pull the latch located above
the license plate then slide out the
generator. Ensure the motorhome
is level as tray can slide out
abruptly.
INFORMATION:
For detailed operating
instructions and
information refer to the
Onan generator OEM
manuals.
The generator can be started
from the following locations:
Generator switch on the
dash.
