The transfer switch automatically transfers power from the shore
power cord or generator through the transfer switch to the 110 Volt AC
breaker panel. When the generator is used as the power source the
transfer switch has a time delay built into it. This allows the generator
time to warm up before an AC load is applied to it. The transfer switch
will automatically select the generator over shore power even though
shore power is hooked up.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the transfer switch do
not have appliances on or AC loads plugged into outlets
when hooking up to shore power or starting generator.
The transfer switch will begin to disengage between 85-
90 Volts AC. Operation at this voltage may damage
transfer switch, appliances or other items plugged into
outlets.
The generator is located in the front compartment of the motorhome. The
generator tray is power driven. To open or close the generator compartment,
actuate the generator IN/OUT switch located on the shifter panel beside the
drivers seat or the switch located in the outside front roadside compartment.
The generator can be started from the following locations:
• The generator remote switch located in the driver’s area.
• The generator control panel, located on the generator.
• The control panel in the bedroom.
Prestart Checks:
Prior to the first start of the day, perform a general inspection
including oil and coolant levels. Keep a maintenance log on
number of hours in operation since the last service. Before start-
ing the generator:
• Perform any service or maintenance that may be due.
• Make sure people and animals are clear of hazards of electrical
shock and moving parts.
• Have all appliances and other large AC electrical loads are off.
