Section 2 – Operation

Recreational Vehicle Generator

2.4BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

NOTE:

Instructions and information in this manual assume the generator has been properly installed, connected, serviced, tested and adjusted by a qualified installation technician or installation contractor.

‹2.4.1 INSTALLATION

Generator installation must have been properly com- pleted so it complies with all applicable codes, stan- dards and regulations and with the manufacturer's recommendations.

NOTE

Be sure the installation complies with all stan- dards and codes listed in the "Standards Booklets" section of this manual.

‹2.4.2 ENGINE LUBRICATION

Have the engine crankcase properly serviced with the recommended oil before starting. Refer to the "Engine Oil Requirements" section and "Checking the Engine Oil Level" and "Changine the Engine Oil and/or Oil Filter" sections for oil servicing procedures and rec- ommendations.

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it hase been properly serviced with the recom- mended oil may result in an engine failure.

‹2.4.3 FUEL SUPPLY

The engine must have an adequate supply of proper fuel to operate. Before starting it, check that suffi- cient fuel is available.

NOTE:

Depending on the installation, the generator may have either a separate fuel tank, or it may “share” the vehicle engine’s fuel tank.

‹2.4.4 COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR

Air inlet and outlet openings in the generator com- partment must be open and unobstructed for con- tinued proper operation. Without sufficient cooling and ventilating airflow, the engine/generator quickly overheats, which causes it to shut down and may damage the generator.

‹2.4.5 ENGINE EXHAUST GAS

Before starting the generator engine, be sure there is no way for exhaust gases to enter the vehicle interior and endanger people or animals. Close windows, doors and other openings in the vehicle that, if open, might permit exhaust gases to enter the vehicle.

DANGER

The generator engine releases DEADLY carbon monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient con- centrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Never operate the generator set with the vehicle inside any garage or other enclosed area. DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN DAMAGED. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING ARE (a) inability to think coher- ently, (b) nausea, (c) vomiting, (d) twitching muscles, (e) throbbing temples, (f) dizziness,

(g) headaches, (h) weakness, and (i) sleepiness.

IF EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, GET MEDICAL HELP. Shut down the generator and do not operate it until it has been inspected and repaired.

DANGER

Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is running unless the vehicle has a working carbon monoxide detector. The exhaust system must be installed in accordance with the genset installa- tion manual. Make sure there is ample fresh air when operating the genset in a confined area.

2.5STARTING THE GENERATOR

NOTE:

Read the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. The owner/operator should become familiar with the vehicle in which this generator is installed. Differences exist between vehicles. For example, some vehicles may use a transfer switch to isolate dockside power from the generator, while other vehicles may use an isolating receptacle. Some vehicles may be equipped with a DC converter, which allows the generator to power certain DC lighting and other DC loads.

To start the generator from either the generator con- trol panel or from the optional remote panel, proceed as follows:

1.Turn OFF electrical loads using the means pro- vided in the vehicle (such as a main line circuit breaker or transfer switch).
