If use of the generator is infrequent, "exercise" the generator once a month by
operating it at approximately half the maximum rated output for a half hour. This
will help promote better starting, more reliable operation and longer engine life.
This procedure drives off moisture, re-lubricates the internal engine parts and
replaces the old stale fuel with a fresh supply and helps prevent the carburetor
from varnishing and jet clogging. It also promotes removing oxides from the
electrical switches and contacts.
NOTE: Avoid short run periods of the generator set. Run the generator
set under a load for a minimum of one-half hour.
The Combination distribution panel contains AC breakers and DC fuses. The
12 Volt house contains fuses (located in the bedroom cabinet) that protect the
electrical circuits. These fuses are the standard automotive type. When a fuse is
“blown,” the wire in middle of the plastic case will be burnt. A broken, bad or
“blown” fuse must be replaced with a fuse of the same rating and type. Use of a
fuse with a different rating or type will defeat the circuit protection provided by
that fuse and could result in damage to the motorhome’s electrical system.
