SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

The

following

symbols

in

this

manual

signal

poten¬

tially

dangerous

conditions

to

the

operator

or

equip¬

ment.

Read

this

manual

carefully.

Know

when

these

conditions

can

exist.

Then,

take

necessary

steps

to

protect

personnel

as

well

as

equipment.

WARNING

I

Onan

uses

this

symbol

throughout

this

manual

to

warn

of

possible

serious

personal

injury.

This

symbol

refers

to

possible

equipment

damage.

Fuels,

electrical

equipment,

batteries,

exhaust

gases

and

moving

parts

present

potential

hazards

that

could

result

in

serious,

personal

injury

Take

care

in

follow¬

ing

these

recommended

procedures.

•

Use

Extreme

Caution

Near

Gasoline.

A

constant

potential

explosive

or

fire

hazard

exists.

Do

not

fill

fuel

tank

near

unit

with

engine

running.

Do

not

smoke

or

use

open

flame

near

the

unit

or

the

fuel

tank.

Be

sure

all

fuel

supplies

have

a

positive

shutoff

valve.

Fuel

lines

must

be

of

steel

piping,

adequately

secured

and

free

of

leaks.

Use

a

flexible

section

of

fuel

line

between

generator

set

and

stationary

fuel

line

in

the

vehicle.

This

flexible

section

must

be

100%

NON-METALLIC

to

prevent

electrical

currents

from

using

it

as

a

conductor.

Have

a

fire

extinguisher

nearby.

Be

sure

ex¬

tinguisher

is

properly

maintained

and

be

familiar

with

its

proper

use.

Extinguishers

rated

ABC

by

the

NFPA

are

appropriate

for

all

applications.

Consult

the

local

fire

department

for

the

correct

type

of

extinguisher

for

various

applications.

•

Guard

Against

Electric

Shock

Remove

electric

power

before

removing

protec¬

tive

shields

or

touching

electrical

equipment.

Use

rubber

insulative

mats

placed

on

dry

wood

plat¬

forms

over

floors

that

are

metal

or

concrete

when

around

electrical

equipment.

Do

not

wear

damp

clothing

(particularly

wet

shoes)

or

allow

skin

surfaces

to

be

damp

when

handling

electrical

equipment.

Jewelry

is

a

good

conductor

of

electricity

and

should

be

removed

when

working

on

electrical

equipment.

Always

use

an

appropriately

sized,

approved

double-throw

transfer

switch

with

any

standby

generator

set.

DO

NOT

PLUG

PORTABLE

OR

STANDBY

SETS

DIRECTLY

INTO

A

HOUSE

RECEPTACLE

TO

PROVIDE

EMERGENCY

POWER.

It

is

possible

for

current

to

flow

from

generator

into

the

utility

line.

This

creates

ex¬

treme

hazards

to

anyone

working

on

lines

to

restore

power.

Use

extreme

caution

when

working

on

electrical

components.

High

voltages

cause

injury

or

death.

Follow

all

state

and

local

electrical

codes.

Have

all

electrical

installations

performed

by

a

qualified

licensed

electrician.

•

Do

Not

Smoke

While

Servicing

Batteries

Lead

acid

batteries

emit

a

highly

explosive

hydrogen

gas

that

can

be

ignited

by

electrical

arcing

or

by

smoking.

•

Exhaust

Gases

Are

Toxic

Provide

an

adequate

exhaust

system

to

properly

expel

discharged

gases.

Check

exhaust

system

regularly

for

leaks.

Ensure

that

exhaust

manifolds

are

secure

and

not

warped.

Be

sure

the

unit

is

well

ventilated.

•

Keep

The

Unit

And

Surrounding

Area

Clean

Remove

all

oil

deposits.

Remove

all

unnecessary

grease

and

oil

from

the

unit.

Accumulated

grease

and

oil

can

cause

overheating

and

subsequent

engine

damage

and

may

present

a

potential

fire

hazard.

Do

NOT

store

anything

in

the

generator

com¬

partment

such

as

oil

or

gas

cans,

oily

rags,

chains,

wooden

blocks,

propane

tanks,

etc.

A

fire

could

result

or

the

generator

set

operation

(cooling,

noise

and

vibration)

may

be

adversely

affected.

Keep

the

compartment

floor

clean

and

dry.

•

Protect

Against

Moving

Parts

Avoid

moving

parts

of

the

unit.

Loose

jackets,

shirts

or

sleeves

should

not

be

permitted

because

of

the

danger

of

becoming

caught

in

moving

parts.

Make

sure

all

nuts

and

bolts

are

secure.

Keep

power

shields

and

guards

in

position.

If

adjustments

must

be

made

while

the

unit

is

running,

use

extreme

caution

around

hot

manifolds,

moving

parts,

etc.

Do

not

work

on

this

equipment

when

mentally

or

physically

fatigued.

service

and

maintenance

program

will

result

in

longer

unit

life

and

better

performance.

are

installed

by

the

motor

home

manufacturer.

Although

the

manufacturer

must

follow

safety

codes

when

install¬

ing,

certain

installation

problems

could

ariseafterthe

unit

installed

and

subjected

to

vibration.

There

are

a

few

areas

that

you

as

the

operatorshould

be

concern¬

ed

with.

If

in

doubt

aboutany

aspect

ofyourgenerator

set’s

operation

or

safety,

contact

your

nearest

authorized

Onan

VENTILATION

The

homes

is

excessive

heat.

Make

sure

the

plugged

with

dust,

dirt,

bugs,

leaves

or

anything

that

could

IMPORTANT:

Certain

states

(particularly

California)

have

state

ordinances

pertaining

to

the

type

and

usage

of

exhaust

arresters

on

internal

combustion

engines

or

engine

driven

equipment

when

used

In

a

such

as

electric

sets.

Be

sure

your

installation

meets

all

Federal,

State

and

local

codes

pertaining

to

your

unit.

Failure

to

provide

and

maintain

a

spark

arrester

may

be

in

violation

of

the

law.

WARNING

i

ENGINE

EXHAUST

GAS

(CARBON

MONOXIDE)

IS

DEADLY!

Carbon

monoxide

Is

an

odorless,

colorless

gas

formed

by

Incomplete

combustion

of

hydrocarbon

fuels.

Carbon

monoxide

is

a

dangerous

gas

that

can

cause

unconsciousness

and

is

potentially

lethal.

Some

of

the

symptoms

or

signs

of

carbon

monoxide

inhalation

are:

•

Dizziness

•

Vomiting

•

Intense

Headache

•

Muscular

Twitching

•

Weakness

and

Sleepiness

•

Throbbing

in

Temples

if

you

experience

any

of

the

above

symptoms,

get

out

into

fresh

air

immediately.

The

best

protection

against

carbon

monoxide

inhalation

is

a

regular

inspection

of

the

complete

exhaust

system.

If

you

notice

a

change

in

the

sound

or

appearance

of

exhaust

system,

shut

the

unit

down

immediately

and

have

it

inspected

and

repaired

at

once

by

a

competent

mechanic.

OPERATION

GENERAL

inspection:

Inspect

the

engine

visually

before

star¬

ting.

Check

for

loose

or

missing

partsorany

shipping

damage.

The

unit

may

be

tilted

during

operation

to

any

maximum

angle

not

exceeding

vehicle

operation

limitations.

Rust

inhibitor

oil

has

been

placed

In

the

engine

combustion

chamber

at

the

factory

and

may

foul

the

spark

plug.

If

the

plug

should

foul,

remove

it

and

clean

thoroughly.

Then

dry

and

replace

in

engine.

RECOMMENDED

FUEL

Use

ciean,

fresh,

unleaded

or

regular

grade

gasoline.

Do

not

use

highly

leaded

premium

fuels.

Using

unleaded

gasoline

results

in

reduced

valve

and

carbon

cleanout

maintenance.

If

the

use

of

unleaded

gasoline

is

desired,

use

regular

gasoline

for

the

first

25

hours

to

allow

the

rings

to

seat

well

for

best

performance.

Then

use

unleaded

gas¬

oline

thereafter.

If

regular

gasoline

is

used

continually,

carbon

and

lead

deposits

must

be

removed

from

the

cylinder

heads

as

required

because

of

engine

power

loss.

Unleaded

gasoline

may

be

used

safely

after

lead

deposits

have

been

removed.

Leakage

of

gasoline

in

or

around

the

com¬

partment

is

a

definite

hazard.

The

ventilation

system

should

provide

a

constant

flow

of

air

to

expel

any

accumulation

of

fuel

vapor

while

the

vehicle

is

in

transit.

Com¬

partments

must

be

vapor

tight

to

the

interior

to

keep

fumes

from

within

the

vehicle.

Break-in

as

follows:

1.

One

2.

One

half

hour

at

and

approximately

500

watts

additional

load.

3.

Change

the

first

25

hours

of

operation.

APPLYING

LOAD

If

practical,

allow

set

to

warm

up

before

connecting

a

heavy

load.

Continuous

generator

overloading

may

cause

high

operating

temperatures

that

can

damage

Keep

the

load

within

nameplate

rating.

BATTERY

CHARGING

The

is

controlled

by

a

fixed

value

resistor

that

allows

a

trickle

GENERATOR

MAINTENANCE

The

generator

normally

needs

little

care

other

than

a

periodic

check

of

the

brushes,

commutator

and

collector

rings.

If

a

major

repair

job

on

the

generator

should

become

necessary,

have

the

equipment

checked

by

a

competent

electrician

who

is

thorough¬

ly

familiar

with

the

operation

of

electric

generator

equipment.
