Section 1 – General Information

Recreational Vehicle Generator

1.2GENERATOR APPLICABILITY

These generators have been designed and manufac- tured for supplying electrical power for recreational vehicles. Do not modify the generator or use it for any application other than for what it was designed. If there are any questions pertaining to its application, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Do not use the unit until advised by a competent authority.

DANGER

For fire safety, the generator must have been properly installed in compliance with ANSI 119.2-1975/NFPA 501C-1974, “Standard for Recreational Vehicles, Part III – Installation of Electrical Systems.” The generator also must have been installed in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s detailed installation instructions. After installation, do nothing that might render the unit in noncompliance with such codes, stan- dards and instructions.

Use this generator to supply electrical power for operating 120-volt, single-phase, 60 Hertz, AC electri- cal loads. These loads can require up to 3,600 watts (3.6 kW) of power, but cannot exceed 30 AC amperes of current at 120 volts.

Do not overload the generator. Some installa- tions may require that electrical loads be alter- nated to avoid overloading. Applying excessively high electrical loads may damage the generator and may shorten its life. Add up the rated watts of all electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads the generator will power at one time. This total should not be greater than the wattage capacity of the generator. If an electri- cal device nameplate gives only volts and amps, multiply volts times amps to obtain watts (volts x amps = watts). Some electric motors require more watts of power (or amps of current) for starting than for continuous operation.

1.3SAFETY

Before attempting to use the generator set, care- fully read the “Safety Rules” section of this manual. Comply strictly with these rules to prevent accidents and damage to equipment and/or property. We sug- gest copying and posting the “Safety Rules” in poten- tial hazard areas of the vehicle. Stress safety to all operators and potential operators of this equipment.

1.4GENERATOR AC

CONNECTION SYSTEM

This generator set is equipped with dual stator AC power windings. These two-stator windings sup- ply electrical power to customer electrical loads by means of a two-wire connection system. Note, how- ever, that the neutral is bonded to the frame of the engine-generator.

The generator may have been installed so that it pow- ers 120-volt AC loads (Figure 1.1). It can be wired to connect 120-volt AC electrical loads. This procedure should be done by an Authorized Service Dealer or other qualified installer.

1.5SPECIFICATIONS

‹1.5.1 FUEL REQUIREMENTS

This generator is equipped with a gasoline fuel sys- tem. Depending on the installation, the generator may have either a separate fuel tank, or it may “share” the vehicle engine’s fuel tank.

NOTE:

Some installations using a “shared” fuel tank may have a generator fuel pickup tube that is shorter than the vehicle engine’s pickup tube. Such an arrangement causes the generator engine to “run out of gas” while adequate fuel for the vehicle remains in the tank.

To reduce lead and carbon deposits use high qual- ity UNLEADED gasoline with the generator. Leaded REGULAR grade gasoline is an acceptable substitute.

NOTE:

Using unleaded gasoline contributes to longer engine valve life by reducing lead and carbon deposits.
