PRIMEPACT 50 Recreational Vehicle Generator

2.1GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

The following features are mounted on the generator control panel (Figure 2.1):

Figure 2.1 – Generator Control Panel

◆2.1.1 FUEL PRIMER

Before starting a cold engine (if it has not been start- ed in more than two weeks), you must press this switch for approximately 10 to 15 seconds to bring fuel from the tank to the carburetor. This rocker type switch springs back into its original position when you release it. It is not necessary to press the primer switch for LP units.

◆2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH

To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the START position. Release the switch when the engine starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts off. The switch center position is the RUN position.

◆ 2.1.3 FUSE

NOTE:

If the PRIMEPACT 50 has been reconnected for dual voltage AC output (120/240 volts), you can install line breakers having an amperage rating that is different than that stated in Section 1.4 (Page 5). The replacement line breakers consist of two separate breakers (one 20 amp, and one 30 amp) with a connecting piece between the breaker handles (so that both breakers will operate at the same time). If the unit is reconnected for dual voltage, it is no longer RVIA listed.

2.2OPTIONAL REMOTE

START/STOP PANEL

A remote mounted Start/Stop Panel (Figure 2.2) is available that allows you to start and stop the gener- ator engine conveniently from inside the vehicle. The remote panel includes a Start/Stop switch, hourme- ter, generator run lamp and a wire harness.

(Models 004057 and 004184)

The fuse protects the engine’s DC control circuit against electrical overload. If the fuse element has melted open due to overloading, the engine cannot be cranked. If you must replace the fuse, use only an identical replacement.

◆2.1.4 MAIN BREAKER

The main breaker protects the generator’s AC output circuit against overload and provides a method of turning OFF the generator’s 120/240-volt AC output to the vehicle circuits. The PRIMEPACT 50 has one 20-amp breaker and one 30-amp breaker.
