2012 Trip
Before Starting the Generator:
People and animals must be clear of
hazards of electrical shock and moving
parts.
All appliances and other large AC
electrical loads must be off.
CAUTION:
Allow the generator to cool before
removing the coolant fill cap.
NOTE:
The generator may require priming.
To prime, hold control switch in the
off position. Repeat if necessary. The
diesel generator fuel pick-up tube is
cut to approximately ¼ tank so as not
to run the main engine out of fuel.
Starting the Generator
Requirement for Generator Operation:
House battery disconnect switch must
be on.
Push and hold the control switch in Start
position until the generator starts. Release
switch. The control switch may flash up to 15
seconds, indicating engine preheat.
WARNING:
Excessive cranking can overheat
and damage the starter motor. Do
not crank the engine more than 30
seconds at any one time. Wait at least
two minutes before resuming. If the
generator fails to start refer to the
OEM manual.
WARNING:
When parking near high grass, be sure
the hot exhaust does not come into
contact with the grassas this can be a
fire hazard. Hot exhaust pipe or hot
exhaust gases can ignite the grass.
CAUTION:
Exhaust extensions add weight to the
generator exhaust system. Exhaust
piping or manifold damage can
result, allowing Carbon Monoxide
to accumulate or leak into the
motorhome.
WARNING:
When the motorhome is parked,
position the dash air conditioner
vent control in the off position
to prevent exhaust gases from
entering the motorhome. The engine
exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide,
which is poisonous and can cause
unconsciousness and/or death. Inspect
the exhaust system before starting the
generator. Do not block the exhaust
pipe or put the motorhome where
the exhaust may accumulate outside,
underneath, or inside the motorhome
or nearby vehicles. Operate the
generator only when there is a safe
dispersion of exhaust. Monitor outside
conditions to ensure the exhaust
continues to disperse safely.
Stopping the Generator
Turn off the appliances and disconnect other
AC loads being used. Allow the generator to
run unloaded for at least one minute before
shutdown to allow the engine to cool.
Momentarily push the control switch to the
Stop position. Release the switch.
NOTE:
The generator requires only a
momentary stop signal.
Powering the Equipment
The AC output of the generator powers
the motorhome air conditioners, inverter,
selected appliances and electrical outlets of
the motorhome. The number of electrical
appliances that can be operated at any given
time depends upon how much power is
available from the generator.
