GENERATOR SAFETY
ELECTRICAL
ᘐ WARNING
Exercise extreme care and caution when handling
the generator and its components. Carelessness
can be dangerous and even fatal.
Never touch any electrical leads, equipment or
appliances when your hands or clothes are wet or
when you are standing on wet ground or in water.
Do NOT attempt to repair the generator yourself.
Have all service and repairs performed at an
authorized service center only.
Never check the generator oil level while the
generator engine is running.
ASPHYXIATION
ᘐ WARNING
All internal combustion engines produce carbon
monoxide (CO) gas fumes when running. This gas
is poisonous, colorless, odorless, tasteless and
is lighter than air.
ᘐ WARNING
1. Do not run the generator and an intake vent fan
at the same time. This could draw gases into the
motorhome.
2.
Do not open windows or vents on the side where
the generator exhaust pipe is located.
3.
Park so the wind carries exhaust gases away
from the motorhome. Be aware of potential gas
fumes from other nearby vehicles.
4.
Do not operate the generator if there are any
obstructions such as vegetation, snow, buildings,
etc., which could deflect gas fumes under or into
the motorhome.
AUTOMATIC POWER TRANSFER
SWITCH
AUTOMATIC SWITCH OVER
Starting the generator will automatically switch power
from 120 volt AC shore power to generator power.
BUILTIN DELAY
An automatic 2030 second delay feature prevents
the generator from starting while under load. This delay
allows the generator to have the required amount of
warm-up time before transferring power.
This switch
3
automatically transfers power from
120 volt AC shore power to generator power and
prevents damage to any circuitry if shore power and the
generator are inadvertently connected and operated
simultaneously.
ᘐ NOTICE
Always verify that appliances are turned off
before starting or stopping the generator. Do
NOT start the generator while it is under load.
Ensuring all appliances are in the off position will
help prolong the life of the appliances.
