These Installation Instructions have been published 
by the manufacturer to aid in the installation of the 
products described in this manual. The manufac-
turer assumes that installation personnel are familiar 
with the procedures for installing such products, or 
similar products manufactured. The manufacturer 
also assumes that personnel have been trained in 
the recommended installation procedures for these 
products and that such training includes (a) use of 
common hand tools, (b) use of special tools, and (c) 
use of any tools and/or equipment from other sup-
pliers.

The manufacturer cannot possibly know of and 
advise the recreational vehicle trade of all conceiv-
able methods, procedures or techniques by which to 
perform an installation. Nor can we anticipate every 
possible hazard that might result from each installa-
tion method, procedure or technique. The manufac-
turer has not undertaken any such wide evaluation. 
Therefore, people who use a method, procedure or 
technique that the manufacturer does not specifically 
recommend must first completely satisfy themselves 
that their safety, the safety of the vehicle's occupants 
and the product's safety is not endangered by the 
method, procedure or technique selected.

Information, illustrations, specifications, etc., con-
tained in these Installation Instructions are based on 
the latest information available at the time of publica-
tion. Every effort has been expended to be sure that 
such data is both accurate and current. However, the 
manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or 
otherwise improve this product at any time without 
prior notice.

For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends 

• 

that the installation, initial start-up and main-
tenance of this equipment is carried out by an 
Authorized Service Dealer.

The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monox-

• 

ide, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if 
breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause 
unconsciousness or even death. This exhaust 
system must be installed properly, in strict com-
pliance with applicable codes and standards. 
Following installation, do nothing that might ren-
der the system unsafe or in noncompliance with 
such codes and standards. The generator com-
partment must be completely vapor sealed from 
the vehicle interior. There must be no possibility of 
exhaust fumes entering the vehicle interior. Never 
operate this equipment with a leaking or defective 
exhaust system.

Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive 

• 

belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never 
remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit 
is operating.

Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ven-

• 

tilating air is critical to correct generator opera-
tion and is required to expel toxic fumes and fuel 
vapors from the generator compartment. Without 
sufficient cooling airflow, the engine/generator 
quickly overheats, which causes serious damage 
to the generator. Do not alter the installation or 
permit even partial blockage of ventilation provi-
sions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of 
the generator.

When working on this equipment, remain alert 

• 

at all times. Never work on the equipment when 
physically or mentally fatigued.

Before performing any maintenance on the gen-

• 

erator, disconnect its battery cables to prevent 
accidental start up. Disconnect the cable from the 
battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) 
first. Reconnect that cable last.

Never use the generator or any of its parts as a 

• 

step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break 
parts, and may result in dangerous operating con-
ditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, 
oil leakage, etc.

Never insert any tool or other object through open-

• 

ings in the generator interior, even if the unit is not 
running. Serious injury or damage to the equip-
ment may occur.
