Transfer Switch
The auto transfer switch automatically switches from shore power to generator
power when the generator is started. There is a 45 second delay after the generator is
started before the motor home electrical load is connected. This delay allows the gener-
ator to reach normal operating speed with no load connected.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Outlet
For your protection certain circuits, in a motor home, are protected by a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI receptacle is located in the bathroom. GFCI
protected receptacles wired down into the stream of the bathroom GFCI include kitchen
receptacles, outside receptacle, and all non-dedicated receptacles located within 6 ft. of
any lavatory or sink.
Testing Instructions
Test GFCI at least once a month. To test GFCI be sure that 120 volt electrical sys-
tem is on. Before you start test be sure the reset button is pushed all the way in. Push
test button in, this should cause the reset button to pop out which means the protected
circuit has been disconnected. Push the reset button in until you hear a click, this will
reactivate protected circuit. If GFCI is working properly the reset button will stay pushed
in.
120V AC Generator
The generator is located in a service compartment on the roadside of the motor
home. The generator may stop running before the chassis fuel tank is completely empty.
This is a safety feature to prevent the motor home from running completely out of fuel.
A preheater control lever on the generator needs to be set for changing tempera-
ture to prevent the engine from erratic operation and over speeding. At temperatures
below 40
