Recreational Vehicle Generators

6.9OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

A plug-in receptacle (Figure 6.18) is provided on the generator set, above the muffler enclosure. Use this receptacle to connect an optional remote-mounted start/stop panel to the generator. Installation of such a panel will permit starting and stopping the gen- erator engine from any convenient location inside the vehicle.

7.2BEFORE INITIAL START-UP

Before starting, complete the following:

1.Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if nec- essary, fill to the dipstick “FULL” mark (cross- hatched area) with the recommended oil. Do not fill above the FULL mark.

2.Check the fuel supply. Gas fuel lines must have been properly purged and leak tested in accor- dance with applicable fuel codes. All fuel shutoff valves in the fuel supply lines must be open.

‹6.9.1 REMOTE PANEL MODELS

The remote panels mount a rocker type start/stop switch, a “Generator Run” advisory lamp and an hourmeter. The hourmeter should be used in con- junction with the maintenance operations found in Part I of this manual.

•Part number 0F0429 includes the remote panel and a 10 foot long, 6 wire harness.

•Part number 0F0430 includes the remote panel and a 30 foot long, 6 wire harness.

7.1POST INSTALLATION TESTS

The air-cooled generator set was factory tested and adjusted. It should not be necessary to adjust the unit any further except under special circumstances.

Do not make any unnecessary adjustments. Factory settings are correct for most applica- tions. When making adjustments, however, be careful to avoid overspeeding the engine.

DANGER

If a liquid propane (LP) gas fuel system has been installed, it must be properly tested for leaks before operating the system in compliance with ANSI A119.2/NFPA 501C. No leakage is permit- ted. Be sure that gasoline fuel vapors do not enter the vehicle interior.

7.3INITIAL START

When certain that the unit has been properly installed and prepared for use, start the engine as follows:

1.Turn off all electrical loads. Do this by setting the generator’s main circuit breakers to their “OFF” (or open) position.

2.Refer to Part I, Section 2.5, “Starting the Generator”, for cranking and starting instruc- tions. The engine may require more cranking for initial starting since the fuel lines have to be primed (use of the primer switch will shorten this time).

3.Let the engine warm up for about five minutes to allow internal temperatures to stabilize.

4.Carefully inspect the engine/generator for fuel, oil and exhaust system leaks. Before proceeding to the next step, correct any leakage immediately.

5.When all tests and adjustments at no-load are completed, apply electrical loads and check for proper operation under load. See Section 7.4. Run the unit at least 30 minutes with loads applied.

6.Turn off all electrical loads by setting the gener- ator’s main circuit breakers to their “OFF” (or open) position.

7.Let the unit run at no-load for a few minutes to stabilize internal engine/generator temperatures. Then, shut down the engine.

NOTE:

The generator set was thoroughly tested and adjusted at the factory before shipping. No addi- tional adjustment should be necessary. Only quali- fied service technicians who have been trained should perform adjustments outlined in this manual.
