Generator Fuel Supply
Fuel for the gasoline or diesel generator is taken
from the main fuel tank through a special feeder
tube which is higher in the tank than the feeder
tube to the motor home engine . This arrangement
prevents the generator from running the
motor home fuel tank dry .

WARNING
Do not modify the generator installation or exhaust
system in any way.
Do not use the generator as an emergency power
source to a general residential or industrial utility
line. This is illegal and may cause shock or electrocution
to power line utility personnel attempting to
repair power lines.
WARNING
Do not block the generator ventilating air inlets or
outlets. The engine re quires a constant supply of
cooling air. Restricted ventilating air inlets or outlets
can cause engine failure.
WARNING
Exhaust gases are deadly. Inspect the generator
exhaust system thoroughly before starting the
generator engine. Do not block the tail pipe or situate
the motor home in a place where the exhaust
gases have any possibility of accumulating either
outside, underneath, or inside your vehicle or any
nearby vehicles. Outside air movements can carry
exhaust gases inside the vehicle through windows or
other openings remote from the generator exhaust.
Operate the generator only when safe dispersion of
exhaust gases can be assured, and monitor outside
conditions to be sure that exhaust gases continue to
be dispersed safely.
!
WARNING
When operating the on-board generator for elecctrical
power and using the overhead kitchen vent fan,
regardless of the outside temperature open a window
slightly. This will reduce the chances of drawing
harmful CO into the passenger compartment.
Propane Generator (If Equipped)
Fuel is provided from a dedicated Propane tank .
Generator Operations
To start the generator:
1 . Press generator remote switch until generator
is running .
2 . To stop the unit, press switch and release .
If the generator is slow to start, DO NOT hold
the switch in the START position for more than
10 seconds . Release the switch, wait 15 seconds,
then try to start again . This will help avoid overheating
and damage to the generator starting
system .

NOTE
Refer to the generator operating instructions provided
in your Owner’s Information Package for information
before starting the generator. Do not start the
generator unit with a heavy power load. Always wait
at least three minutes after starting generator before
turning on (or plugging in) heavy electrical loads, such
as the roof air conditioner.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
- 50 AMP FOR ADDITIONAL
APPLICATION
Intellitec’s Smart Energy Management System -
50 AMP (Smart EMS) is designed to be used in
RVs equipped with 50 AMP electrical service .
The system senses when the coach is connected
to a 50 AMP service and allows simultaneous
operations of all the 120 volt loads . When 50
AMP service is not available and the coach is
connected to a smaller electrical service, such as
a generator source, 30 AMP or 20 AMP service,
the system automatically takes control of the
loads to practically eliminate circuit breaker
tripping . It constantly monitors the total amount
of current drawn in the RV and controls the
loads, as necessary, to keep the total current to a
value less than, or equal to, the available power
service .
