These  Installation Instructions have been prepared 
especially for the purpose of familiarizing installers 
and owners of the applicable equipment with the 
product's installation requirements. Give serious 
consideration to all information and instructions in 
the manual, both for safety and for continued reliable 
operation of the equipment.

Because of the different recreational vehicle mod-
els and the variations between the models, it would 
be extremely difficult, if not impractical, to provide 
detailed instructions for every possible installation. 
For that reason, instructions and illustrations in this 
manual are general in nature. Illustrations are not 
intended to serve as detailed installation blueprints.

The installation should comply strictly with all appli-
cable codes, standards and regulations pertaining 
to the installation and use of this product. If any 
portion of this manual appears to be in conflict with 
such codes, standards or regulations, the applicable 
codes, standards or regulations must take prece-
dence over the manual.

Before handling, installing, operating or servicing this 
equipment, carefully read the “Notice to Installer” 
and “Safety Rules”. Comply with all safety rules to 
prevent death, personal injury or damage to equip-
ment and/or property. Stress safety to all installers, 
operators and service technicians who work on this 
equipment.

Installation, use and servicing of this equipment 
should comply strictly with published standards, as 
well as the manufacturer's recommendations. The 
following standards booklets (latest revision) are

Instructions and information in this section per-
tain to air-cooled generators. These generators are 
designed specifically for installing in recreational 
vehicles. They operate 120-volt, single-phase, 60-
Hertz, AC electrical loads.

The generator’s revolving field (rotor) is driven by a 
two-cylinder, four-cycle engine through a pulley and 
drive belt arrangement. The generator supplies 120 
volts AC at 60 Hertz when the rotor is operating at 
3,600 rpm.The drive belt arrangement allows the 
engine to operate at a lower speed than the rotor.

These air-cooled generator sets are equipped with dual 
stator AC power windings. These two stator windings 
supply electrical power to customer electrical loads by 
means of a dual 2-wire connection system.

Generators may be installed to provide the following 
outputs:

1) 120 VAC loads only — one load with a maximum 
total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s 
rated power output (in watts), and 120V across the 
generator output terminals. (See Fig. 5.1.)

2) 120/240 VAC loads — one load with a maximum 
total wattage requirement equal to the generator’s 
rated power output, and 240 V across the generator 
output terminals; or two seperate loads, each with 
a maximum total wattage requirement equal to half 
of the generator’s rated power output (in watts), and 
120 V across the generator output terminals. (See 
Fig. 5.3.)
