Recreational Vehicle Generator

‹2.9.2 25-HOUR CHECK-UP

After the 25-hour break-in period, contact an Authorized Service Dealer for the following main- tenance. The vehicle owner is responsible for any charges:

Change the engine crankcase oil and oil filter.

Check the oil level.

Inspect the cooling and ventilation openings.

Check the engine carburetor adjustments.

Check the engine ignition system.

Inspect the entire electrical system.

Inspect the engine exhaust system.

‹2.9.3 ATTENTION REQUIRED AFTER SUBMERSION

If the recreational vehicle generator has been sub- merged in water, it MUST NOT be started and oper- ated. Following any submersion in water, have an Authorized Service Dealer thoroughly clean and dry the generator.

‹2.9.4 OPERATION IN HIGH GRASS OR BRUSH

Never operate the generator while the vehicle is parked over high grass, weeds, brush, leaves or any other combustible substance. Such materials can ignite and burn from the heat of the exhaust system. The generator exhaust system becomes extremely hot during operation and remains hot for a long time after it has shut down.

‹2.9.5 EFFECTS OF MOISTURE AND DIRT

Keep the generator set as clean and dry as possible. Protect the unit against excessive dust, dirt, cor- rosive vapors, road splash, etc. Permitting dirt and moisture to accumulate on generator windings will have an adverse effect on the insulation resistance of those windings.

When moisture is allowed to remain in contact with windings, some of the moisture will be retained in voids and cracks in the insulation. This causes a reduced insulation resistance and will eventually cause problems. Dirt will make the problem worse, since dirt tends to hold moisture in contact with windings. Salt (as from sea air) also will worsen the problem since it tends to absorb moisture from the air. Salt and moisture, when combined, form a good electrical conductor.

3.1CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL

LEVEL

For oil capacities and requirements, see “Engine Oil Requirements” section. Check the engine crankcase oil level at least every eight hours of operation, or before using it. To check the engine oil level, proceed as follows (see Figure 3.1):

1.Be sure the generator is as level as possible.

2.Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.

3.Install and tighten the dipstick cap; then, remove it again. The oil level should be at the dipstick “Full” mark.
