ELECTRICAL GENERATOR
e electrical generator (Figure 9-10) is located in a
compartment in front of the motor home between
the chassis rails. Access to check the generator’s u-
id levels can be gained by releasing the hood latches.
Prior to starting or stopping the generator, make
sure that all the 120 VAC appliances are turned “o.”
Aer the generator has been started, wait until the
transfer switch has connected before turning “on”
any of the appliances.
e generator can be started from either the re-
mote-start switch located on the dash or directly
at the generator itself. e hour meter installed on
the generator records the number of hours of oper-
ation of the generator motor—this elapsed time is
needed for observing necessary maintenance schedules on the generator.
For more detailed operating instructions and to determine necessary preventive-maintenance sched-
ules and procedures, review the manufacturer owner’s manual.
If the inverting function is not needed or infrequently used, then the selector switch on the converter/
inverter can be set to “CHARGER ONLY.” is setting will disable the inverting function, but it will
still allow the converter to charge the batteries when 120 VAC is available.
e 12 VDC wiring for the converter/inverter comes from the circuit breaker located underneath the
step cover next to the house batteries. Check this circuit breaker if converter/inverter functions are
not working.
e 120 VAC wiring for the converter/inverter comes from a circuit breaker in the circuit breaker
box. is is the 120 VAC power into the converter/inverter. ere is also 120 VAC wiring from the
converter/inverter returning to a circuit breaker in the circuit breaker box. is is 120 VAC power out
of the converter/inverter used to power the inverter loads.
Check these circuit breakers if converter/inverter functions are not working.
ere are two circuit breakers located on the converter/inverter. One of the circuit breakers is for
the 12 VDC charging circuit, the other circuit breaker is for the 120 VAC output. Check these circuit
breakers on the converter/inverter if there are functions not working.
