NOTE:
An appliance or load may
have a short if it causes
a circuit breaker to trip
after being reconnected.
Do not continue to reset
breaker. Have the problem
corrected before resuming
operation.
Generator Exercise
If use of the generator is
infrequent, “exercise” the
generator once a month by
operating it at approximately
half the maximum rated output
for two hours. This “exercise”
will help promote better starting,
more reliable operation and longer
engine life. This procedure drives
off moisture, lubricates the internal
engine parts, replaces the old
stale fuel with a fresh supply, and
also promotes removing oxides
from the electrical switches and
contacts.
NOTE:
Avoid short run periods
of the generator. Run the
generator under a load
for a minimum of one-half
hour.
INVERTER
The inverter changes DC battery
power to AC electrical power. It
also converts AC power to DC
to charge the house and chassis
batteries when hooked to shore
power or operating from the
generator. Use the inverter to
supply AC power when shore
power is not available and the
generator is not going to be used
as a secondary AC power source.
The inverter supplies AC power
to most outlets, microwave,
residential refrigerator and home
entertainment system.
The inverter consumes house
battery power at exchange rate
of approximately 11 amps DC to
produce 1 amp of AC power.
Turn off the inverter when not
in use to conserve house battery
power. The inverter works in
conjunction with the “load shed”
feature of the AC load center.
In instances where shore power
amperage is limited to 20 or 30
amps, the inverter will “power
assist” during periods of peak
demand when total amount of
amperage available exceeds shore
power capacity. The battery cutoff
switch must be on for the inverter
remote panel to function and
respond to commands. The remote
panel is used to change variable
settings.
NOTE:
The inverter is a
comprehensive
system with
many features.
It is strongly
recommended to
read the OEM manuals
Providing AC Power with Inverter
To Turn the Inverter On:
Turn on the house battery
cutoff switch.
Press the Inverter On/Off
switch on the remote panel.
If the inverter does not sense AC
power from the generator or shore
power, it will provide AC power
from the motorhome batteries
to most outlets and appliances.
If the generator is started or
the motorhome is connected to
shore power, the inverter will
automatically begin charging.
