To start the generator manually
1. A remote start/stop switch is located inside the motor home. A second
start/stop switch is located on the generator.
2. Press the operation control switch to start the generator. (Depending on how
cold it is, preheat can take up to 15 seconds).
3. The hour meter will monitor minutes of usage when the generator is running.
For top performance and engine life, especially in colder weather, let the generator
engine warm up for two minutes before connecting (turning “on”) appliances.
Automatic Generator Start (AGS) system (if so equipped)
When enabled, the AGS system will automatically start and stop the generator
according to operator or factory selected parameters. It can also be used as a
manual generator start/stop switch.
1. The AGS system has been set up and tested using default values for the
factory-installed generator. Consult the manufacturer’s manual for operator
programming information.
2. The AGS system is enabled by pressing the SUTO GEN key followed by
pressing the ENTER key on the face of the Energy Command control panel.
3. The AGS system will not operate unless the battery disconnect switch is “on”.
4. The factory-installed AGS system will not start the generator when shore
power is connected to the motor home. If shore power is connected to the
motor home when the AGS has started the generator, the generator will stop.
5. The AGS system as installed will be disabled anytime the chassis ignition key
is cycled to either the “on” or “off” position. The AGS may be manually re-
enabled after an ignition key cycle.
6. The AGS system, when enabled, and with the above conditions met, can start
and stop the generator according to:
 front air conditioner call to run
 rear air conditioner call to run
 coach battery low charge level
