2 Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating or ser vicing this equipment. Become familiar with this manual and with the unit. The generator can operate safely , efficiently and reli- ably only if it is properly installed, operated and maintained. Many accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and fundamental r ules or p[...]

3 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS The generator covered by this manual produces dangerous • electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc., while the unit is r unning. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and bar - riers are in place before operating the generator . If work must be done a[...]

5 1.2 GENERA TOR APPLICABILITY These generators have been designed and manufactured for sup- plying 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 per taining to its application, contact an Authorized Ser vice Dealer . Do not use t[...]

6 n The manufacturer does not recommend using any gasoline containing alcohol (such as “gasohol”). If using any gasoline contain- ing alcohol, it must not contain more than 10 percent ethanol, and it must be removed from the generator during storage. Do NOT use any gasoline containing methanol. If using gasoline with alcohol, inspect more frequ[...]

7 This generator is not legal for sale in the state of California unless all CARB evaporative emission requirements are adhered to, and is not legal for sale in any other state unless certified low-per - meation fuel line is used to supply the generator with gasoline. Contact the California Air Resource Board or the Environmental protection agency [...]

8 n Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil may result in an engine failure. 2.4.3 FUEL SUPPL Y The engine must have an adequate supply of proper fuel to oper - ate. Before star ting it, check that sufficient fuel is available. NOTE: Depending on the installation, the generator may have[...]

9 2.7.1 LETTING THE ENGINE ST ABILIZE The generator supplies correct rated voltage only at the proper governed speed. Some electrical appliances may be extremely sensitive to voltage. Incorrect voltages can damage such appli- ances. If electrical loads are applied at reduced operating speeds, such loads imposed on the engine when sufficient power i[...]

10 Figure 2.4 – Solid State Voltage Regulator The voltage regulator also incorporates a “voltage surge protection circuit.” This circuit prevents troublesome surges in the generator AC output voltage. V oltage surge is a common cause of damage to electronic equipment. 2.10 ADDITIONAL INFORMA TION 2.10.1 ATTENTION REQUIRED AFTER SUBMERSION If [...]

11 9. Install and tighten the oil fill cap and the dipstick before oper - ating the engine. 10. Star t the engine and check for leaks. NOTE: Check the oil level and fill to the “FULL ” mark after checking for leaks. The filter will retain some oil. 3.3 MAINT AINING THE ENGINE AIR CLEANER 3.3.1 CLEANING THE FOAM PRECLEANER Clean and re-oil the f[...]

12 3.4 CLEAN AIR INT AKE Clean all foreign material from the air intake (Figure 3.3) at least once ever y 100 hours of operation. Clean more of ten if neces- sar y . Inspect the area around the generator exhaust muffler periodically and remove all grass, leaves, dir t, etc., from this area. Figure 3.3 – Cleaning Air Intake USTC USTC 3.5 CHECKING [...]

26 n Fuel lines and exhaust piping must not pen- etrate into the vehicle living area. 2.3 COOLING AND VENTILA TING AIR It is absolutely essential that an adequate flow of air for cooling, ventilating and engine combustion be supplied to the generator set. Without sufficient air flow , the engine/generator quickly over heats. Such overheating can ca[...]

27 2.4.1 FUEL T ANK Either the generator must share the vehicle engine's fuel tank, or install a separate fuel tank for the generator set. All fuel tanks installed on the vehicle must be constr ucted, installed and restrained so they comply with applicable codes, standards and regulations. If the generator is to share the vehicle engine's[...]
