Resumen del manual
Contact the dealer for recommendations. 2.7 BATTERY INSTALLATION • 2.7.1 RECOMMENDED BATTERY Install a battery that meets the following requirements: • The battery must be a 12-volt, automotive type storage battery. • For prevailing ambient temperatures above 32° F (0° C), use a battery rated 70 amp-hours and capable of delivering 400 cold-cranking amperes. • For prevailing ambient temperatures below 32° F (0° C), use a battery rated 95 amp-hours and capable of delivering 400 cold-cranking amperes. NOTE: If the battery is to be used to power other vehicle accessories, as well as start the generator, a battery with a larger capacity may be needed. • 2.7.2 BATTERY CABLES Using battery cables that are too long or too small in diameter may cause a drop in voltage, which causes starting problems. For the best cold weather starting, the voltage drop between battery terminals and the generator connection point should not exceed 0.12 volts per 100 amperes of cranking current. These generators are rated at about 100 DC amperes of cranking current. Select battery cables based on (a) cable length and (b) prevailing ambient temperatures. Generally, the longer the cable and the colder the weather, the larger the cable size must be, as shown in the chart. CABLE LENGTH in Feet (Meters) CABLE SIZE 0 to 10 (0 to 3) 2* 11 to 15 (3.4 to 4.5) 0 16 to 20 (4.5 to 6) 000 * For warm weather, use No. 2 cable up to 20 feet. Section 2 – Installation Recreational Vehicle Generator • 2.7.3 BATTERY CABLE CONNECTIONS 1. Connect the battery cable from the battery post or terminal indicated by a POSITIVE, POS or (+) to the lug on the starter contactor (Figure 2.16). NOTE: Check to be sure the battery cable boot for the starter cable has been installed. 2. Connect the battery cable from the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (-) to the frame ground connection (Figure 2.16). 3. Connect cables so the connectors are clean and tight. Figure 2.16 – Connecting Battery Cables NEG FUEL POS • 2.7.4 BATTERY COMPARTMENT Install the generator battery in its own, vented compartment. Place the battery compartment away from any source of heat, sparks or flame. Provide ventilation openings in the battery compartment. The minimum size of openings should be 2 square inches at the top of the compartment. Mount the battery on a strong, rigid supporting structure, where leaks and spills of battery fluid will not cause damage. 2.8 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES A plug-in receptacle (Figure 2.17) is provided on the generator set. Use this receptacle to connect an optional remote-mounted start/stop panel to the generator. Installation of such a panel will permit starting and stopping the generator engine from any convenient location inside the vehicle.

The remote panel includes a Start/Stop switch, hour- meter, generator run lamp, a fuel prime switch, and a wire harness. The hourmeter should be used in conjunction with the maintenance operations found in Part I of this manual.

It should not be required to adjust the unit any further except under special circumstances. . Do not make any unnecessary adjustments. Factory settings are correct for most applications. When making adjustments, however, be careful to avoid overspeeding the engine. 3.2 BEFORE INITIAL START-UP Before starting, complete the following: 1. Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if necessary, fill to the dipstick “FULL” mark (crosshatched area) with the recommended oil. Do not fill above the FULL mark. 2. Check the fuel supply. Gas fuel lines must have been properly purged and leak tested in accordance with applicable fuel codes. All fuel shutoff valves in the fuel supply lines must be open. DANGER . If a liquid propane (LP) gas fuel system has been installed, it must be properly tested for leaks before operating the system in compliance with ANSI A119.2/NFPA 501C. No leakage is permitted. Be sure that no gasoline fuel vapors enter the vehicle interior. 3.3 INITIAL START When absolutely certain that the unit has been properly installed and prepared for use, start the engine as follows: 1. Turn off all electrical loads. Do this by setting the generator’s main circuit breakers to their “OFF” (or OPEN) position. 2. Refer to Part I, “Starting the Generator”, for cranki...
