Consult the information provided in your
Owner InfoCase for instructions on operation,
troubleshooting and maintenance.
Automatic Power Transfer Switch
Your coach electrical system is equipped with
an automatic power transfer switch. The transfer
switch is normally in an “off” mode when no AC
current is required.
When the generator is started, the transfer
unit will switch the power feed to the generator
after 10 seconds. The ten-second delay is to
allow the generator to start easily without an
electrical load.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE
GENERATOR
The generator switches are located on the dash
and on the monitor panel. The generator starter
circuit does not rely on the automotive battery, so
the switch will operate whether the ignition
switch is on or off.
This coach may be equipped with one of sev-
eral models of generators. Consult the generator
owner’s manual in your Owner InfoCase for spe-
cific instructions on starting and stopping your
generator.
NOTE: Generators draw their fuel from the main
chassis fuel tank. After extensive gener-
ator use, you may notice decreased levels
in the fuel tank.

· See generator manufacturer’s operating in-
formation for specific instructions.
The GFCI will not completely elimi-
nate electrical shock. Small children
and persons with heart conditions or
other disabilities which make them
especially sensitive to electrical
shock may still be injured by a 110-
volt receptacles even though pro-
tected by a Ground Fault interrupter.
Careless handling of the generator
and electrical components can be fa-
tal.
Never touch electrical leads or appli-
ances when your hands are wet, or
when standing in water or on wet
ground.
Do not attempt to repair the generator
yourself. Service should be performed
by an authorized service center.
