Generator
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.
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.
NOTE: Be sure to follow the break in procedure outlined in the
manufacturers owner’s manual.
