REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new
bulb with your bare fingers. The skin oil left on the glass will evaporate when the bulb
gets hot, the vapor will condense on the reflector and it will dim the surface.
Replacement light bulbs must be of the type, voltage and wattage listed on the lamp
fixture. Use of incorrectly sized bulbs can overload lam circuits and may create a fire
hazard by overheating the fixture.
GENERATOR (IF SO EQUIPPED)
The factory-installed generator will produce 120-volt AC power for use when camping in
areas where shore power is unavailable. 120-volt power from the generator is output to the
AC distribution center by way of a factory-installed automatic transfer switch. In the
default mode, the automatic transfer switch connects the generator to the AC distribution
center when the generator is operating and shore power is disconnected.
When the generator is operating it will power the converter, which in turn will charge the
house and chassis batteries. The generator requires 12-volt power from the house batteries
to start and draws fuel from the chassis fuel tank. If the fuel tank drops to or below 1/4 full,
the generator will automatically shut off to keep the motor home from being stranded. Be
aware the generator, when operating, gives off carbon monoxide.

NOTE: Be sure to follow the break in procedure outlined in the manufacturers owner’s
manual.
Before starting the generator
1. Make sure the carbon monoxide detector is working.
2. Turn “off” air conditioners and all other appliances.
3. Check for fuel, exhaust and coolant leaks.
STOP the generator immediately if there is a fuel, exhaust or coolant leak and have it
repaired!

WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! Do not run the generator when your motor
home is indoors or in a confined space. Asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning
hazards exist whenever generator exhaust gasses can accumulate.
CAUTION
Excessive cranking can overheat and damage the generator starter motor. Do not
crank for more than 20 seconds at a time. Wait at least two minutes before trying
again. If the generator does not start after the third try, refer to the generator
manufacturer’s user manual for more information.
