NOTE: Refer to the Fuel System section of this manual for detailed information on
fuel gauge operation.
To start the generator manually
1. A remote start/stop switch is located inside the recreation vehicle. The switch will be
located with an hour meter either on a separate panel, or on the main monitor panel
(location will vary by model). 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.
4. Before stopping the generator, turn off air conditioners and large electrical loads and
allow the generator to run 3 to 5 minutes to cool down. Flip the red start/stop switch
to stop.
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. AGS is typically used on motorhomes.
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 AUTO 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.
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE IS DEADLY! MOVING PARTS AND ELECTRICITY
can cause severe personal injury or death. To reduce exposure to these hazards,
always disable AGS (if so equipped) before:
Sleeping in vehicle, unless vehicle has a working CARBON MONOXIDE
detector.
Parking vehicle in garage or confined space.
Parking vehicle for storage.
Servicing vehicle for storage.
Servicing generator.
Servicing batteries.
Servicing appliances or electrical systems.
Fueling the vehicle.
DO NOT run the generator or use the AGS AUTO ON or QUIET ON modes (if
so equipped) when your RV is indoors or in a confined space. Asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning hazards exist whenever generator exhaust gasses can
accumulate.
