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 conceivable 
methods, procedures or techniques by which to per-
form an installation. Nor can the manufacturer antic-
ipate every possible hazard that might result from 
each installation method, procedure or technique. 
The manufacturer has not undertaken any such wide 
evaluation. Therefore, people who use a method, pro-
cedure 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 generator engine releases DEADLY carbon 

monoxide gas through its exhaust system. This 
dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentra-
tions, can cause unconsciousness or even death. 
Never operate the generator set with the vehicle 
inside any garage or other enclosed area. DO NOT 
OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF THE EXHAUST 
SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN DAMAGED. 
SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING 
ARE (a) inability to think coherently, (b) nausea, 
(c) vomiting, (d) twitching muscles, (e) throbbing 
temples, (f) dizziness, (g) headaches, (h) weak-
ness, and (i) sleepiness. IF EXPERIENCING ANY 
OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO FRESH AIR 
IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, GET 
MEDICAL HELP. Shut down the generator and 
do not operate it until it has been inspected and 
repaired.

•  Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is run-

ning unless the vehicle has a working carbon 
monoxide detector. The exhaust system must be 
installed in accordance with the genset installation 
manual. Make sure there is ample fresh air when 
operating the genset in a confined area.

• 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.
