NOTICE TO INSTALLER
These Installation Instructions have been published by the manu-
facturer to aid in the installation of the products described in this 
manual. The manufacturer 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 suppliers.
The manufacturer cannot possibly know of and advise the rec-
reational vehicle trade of all conceivable methods, procedures or 
techniques by which to perform an installation. Nor can the manu-
facturer anticipate every possible hazard that might result from 
each installation method, procedure or technique. The manufactur-
er 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, proce-
dure or technique selected.
Information, illustrations, specifications, etc., contained in these 
Installation Instructions are based on the latest information avail-
able at the time of publication. 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.

 Despite the safe design of this generator, 
operating this equipment imprudently, neglect-
ing its maintenance or being careless can 
cause possible injury or death. Permit only 
responsible and capable persons to operate 
or maintain this equipment.
 
 Potentially lethal voltages are generated by 
these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to 
render the machine safe before attempting to 
work on the generator.
n
 
 Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot 
during operation. Exercise care near running 
generators. 
GENERAL HAZARDS
For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that the 
• 
installation, initial start-up and maintenance 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 concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or 
even death. Never operate the generator set with the vehicle 
inside any garage or other enclosed area. Shut down the 
generator and do not operate it until it has been inspected 
and repaired.
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) dizzi-
ness, (g) headaches, (h) weakness, and (i) sleepiness. IF 
EXPERIENCING ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE INTO 
FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, GET 
MEDICAL HELP. 
Never sleep in the vehicle while the genset is running 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 ventilating air is 
• 
critical to correct generator operation 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 ven-
tilation provisions, 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 generator, discon-
• 
nect 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 dan-
gerous operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel 
leakage, oil leakage, etc.
Never insert any tool or other object through openings in the 
• 
generator interior, even if the unit is not running. Serious injury 
or damage to the equipment could be done.

 DANGER: For fire safety, installation of a generator into a recreational vehicle must comply strictly with 
article 551, NFPA 70; ANSI C1-1975; AND, ANSI A119.2-1975/NFPA 501C “Standard for Recreational 
Vehicles” (Part 3, “Installation of Electrical Systems”). In addition, installation must comply with the man-
ufacturer’s instructions and recommendations.
