GENERATOR
Please refer to the manufacturer’s operating instructions for
further information.
If your unit is equipped with a generator, it will be located
at the rear of the vehicle. Access to the generator is from
underneath the chassis. There is no access through the
interior so as to prevent exhaust gases from seeping into
the living compartment. The generator will provide an added
source of power to run the electrical system when you are
not plugged into a 110 volt power source.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
Ensure the LP switch is ON (located in the utility center) and
ensure the LP tank has adequate fuel before starting.
Next, locate the GEN START/GEN STOP button on either
touchscreen control panel. Simply push the GEN START
button until the generator starts. It may take a few seconds
initially for it to start. Your generator draws its gas supply
from the LP tank and air may have to be purged from the line.
Once the generator is running, it supplies power to the entire
electrical system, just as if your unit were plugged into a 110
volt power source.
You will have to balance your electrical
consumption as you have a limited number of watts/amps
available. The hour meter for your generator is located on the
touchscreen control panel above the GEN STOP button.
If the generator does not crank check the 80-amp generator
breaker. If the generator runs but does not generate power
check the breaker inside the generator compartment.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you run your generator
(if equipped) for a half hour under load each month. This
will allow the system to maintain fresh fuel, the engine
to be lubricated and the electronic components to avoid
corrosive build up.
CAUTION:
If you are running your generator in freezing
temperatures and the interior of the coach is below 32
degrees For 0 degrees C, ensure the coach batteries were
fully charged prior to this process. It your coach batteries
were not fully charged you must warm the interior of the
coach until the temperature exceeds 32 degrees F or 0
degrees C. This is done most efficiently by running the
furnace and opening the coach battery box door.
NOTE:
For your safety and protection, all generator or
generator-ready units are equipped with an automatic
transfer switch that will allow your coach to receive power
from either shore power or your generator.
