Air density decreases as altitude increases. Power decreases at approximately 3% of the rated power
each 1,000 feet (305M) of increase in elevation above sea level. It may be necessary to operate fewer
appliances at the same time when the camping location is at a higher elevation. For example: 7500
watt generator at 5,000 ft. = 6375 watts net. Temperature also affects maximum output power. For
example: at 120º a 7500 watt generator produces 6000 watts net.
INFORMATION:
The generator may shut down for reasons other than an overload. If a blink code
appears on the control switch, refer to the manufacturer’s manual to obtain an explana-
tion for the code.
Generator Fuel
There is always a possibility fuel may be contaminated. Diesel fuel may contain water or a
microbe growth (black slime). Any contamination of fuel will greatly reduce the total output of the gen-
erator, and may cause erratic AC output.
NOTE:
The motorhome manufacturer does not cover damage to the generator caused by fuel
contamination, or to appliances due to erratic AC voltage.
