Pre-Start Checks
Prior to the first start of the day perform a general inspec-
tion including oil and coolant levels. Keep a maintenance log on
number of hours in operation since the last service. Perform
any service or maintenance that may be due.
Before Starting the Generator:
• Clear people and animals from hazards of electrical
shock and moving parts.
• All appliances and other large AC electrical loads must
be off.
NOTE:
The generator may require priming. To
prime hold control switch in the OFF posi-
tion. Repeat if necessary. The diesel gener-
ator fuel pick-up tube is cut to approxi-
mately 1/4 tank so as not to run the main
engine out of fuel.
Starting the Generator
Push and hold the control switch in START position
until the generator starts. Release switch. The control
switch may flash up to 15 seconds, indicating engine
preheat.
WARNING:
Excessive cranking can overheat and damage
the starter motor. Do not crank the engine for
more than 30 seconds at a time, in two minute
intervals. If the generator fails to start, refer to
the manufacturer’s manual.
WARNING:
When the motorhome is parked, position the dash air conditioner vent control in
the OFF position to prevent exhaust gases from entering the motorhome during gener-
ator operation.
