During periods of extended storage:
4. Add a diesel fuel additive to the chassis fuel tank to prevent algae growth (only with a
diesel fueled generator).
5. Completely ll the chassis diesel fuel tank to prevent water condensation and rust in the
tank (only with a diesel fueled generator).
6. Cover the end of the generator exhaust pipe with screen to prevent bug and rodent
intrusion.
With the exception of simple items, such as normal maintenance (i.e., oil changes, etc.),
all service work should be done by an authorized repair facility. Improper adjustments can
damage the generator and electrical appliances and can result in a safety hazard.
– When storing the generator for extended periods of time, it is
important to run the generator regularly to keep it in good working order. Lack of exercise
can cause moisture build-up in the fuel system resulting in poor performance.
For more information on generator operation and maintenance, refer to the generator own-
er’s manual.
Excessive usage can overheat and damage the generator starter motor. Do not
engage the starter motor for more than 20 seconds at a time. If the generator
does not start after the rst attempt, wait at least two minutes before beginning
another start sequence. If the generator does not start after a third attempt,
refer to the generator owner's manual for additional information.
Starting the Generator
Your motorhome has manual switches located at the Command Center panel. There are sec-
ondary switches located on the dash, in an overhead cabinet, or on the generator itself. An
hour meter that keeps track of generator hours used is located near the switch and a separate
hour meter on the generator.
1. At either “START/STOP” switch, press and hold the start portion of the switch to start
the generator. Depending on the outside temperature the start process can take up to 15
seconds. Once the generator starts running, release the switch.
2. An LED above the start switch will light when the generator is running.
3. For better performance and engine life, especially in colder weather, let the generator
engine warm up for two minutes before turning “ON” 120-volt appliances.
For more information on generator operation and maintenance, refer to the manufacturer’s
owner’s manual.
