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 we
anticipate every possible hazard that might result from each instal-
lation method, procedure or technique. The manufacturer 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, procedure 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 run-
ning 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 engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which can •
be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient con-
centrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. This
exhaust system must be installed properly, in strict compliance
with applicable codes and standards. Following installation, do
nothing that might render the system unsafe or in noncompli-
ance with such codes and standards. The generator compart-
ment must be completely vapor sealed from the vehicle interior.
There must be no possibility of exhaust fumes entering the
vehicle interior. Never operate this equipment with a leaking or
defective exhaust system.
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 may occur.

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
manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations.
