10.2 AUXILIARY 120 VOLT GENERATOR (OPTIONAL)
Refer to the Generator Owner Operator's Manual for
more detailed instructions.
10.2.1 GENERATOR SAFETY
1. Electrical:
2. Asphyxiation:
a. Do not run the generator and a ventilator fan
at the same time. This could draw gases into
the motorhome.
b. Do not open windows or ventilators on the
side where exhaust pipes are located.
c. Park so that winds will carry gases away from
the vehicle. Be aware of potential gas fumes
from other nearby vehicles.
d. Do not operate the generator if there is any
obstruction such as vegetation, snow, build-
ings, etc. which could deflect gas fumes
under or into the motorhome.
IMPORTANT
Check the oil level regularly during
frequent use of the generator. Refer
to the Manufacturer's Manual for
specific information.
Extreme care and caution should be exercised
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 are wet or when you
are standing on wet ground or in water.
Any repair of the generator should be done by
authorized service centers only. Never attempt to
repair it yourself.
Plug in the power cord only when the generator is
not running.
WARNING
Never check generator oil level while generator
engine is running.
WARNING
All internal combustion engines produce carbon
monoxide (CO) gas fumes when running. This
gas is poisonous, colorless, odorless, tasteless
and lighter than air. These gases can readily be
drawn into your motorhome. Take the following
precautions when running any engines.
WARNING
10.2.2 GENERATOR REFUELING
Auxiliary generators draw their fuel from the main
engine fuel tank. The fuel pick-up tube is shorter
than the engine pick-up tube. This prevents the
vehicle fuel tank from being completely emptied on
site.
Motorhomes equipped with a diesel engine have a
separate fuel tank installed to provide gasoline for the
generator. Check the generator fuel level frequently
during heavy use. Refill as required to prevent running
out of fuel.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to use the proper fuel. Errors
in the fuel type can be hazardous and
can create costly repairs.
Do not smoke when refuelling. Keep flames,
sparks and smoking material away from fuel or
flammable fumes.
