Pre-Start Checks
Prior to the first start of the day perform a general
inspection including oil and coolant levels. Keep a mainte-
nance 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 electri-
cal shock and moving parts.
• All appliances and other large AC electrical loads
must be off.
NOTE:
The generator may require priming. To prime hold con-
trol switch in the OFF position. Repeat if necessary. The
diesel generator fuel pick-up tube is cut to approximately
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 manufac-
turer’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 generator operation.
