Fuels, electrical equipment, batteries, exhaust gases
and movrng parls present polentral hazards lhat could
resull in serious, personal inlury. Take care in lollow-
ing these recommended procedures.
. Use Extreme Caution Near Gasoline A conslanl
polenll.l explosive or tire hazard exkls.
Do nol frll luel tank near unit with engrne running
Do not smoke or use open flame near the unit or
the luel tank.
Be sure all tuel supplies have a positive shutofl
Fuel lines must be of steel piping, adequately
secured and free of leaks. Use aflexible section of
fuel line between generalorset and stalionary fuel
line in the vehicle. This flexible section must be
1000/o NON-METALLIC to prevent electrical
currenls lrom using il as a conduclo'.
Have a lire exlinguisher 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 lire department for the correct
type of extinguisher for various applications
. Gu.rd Against Elecl.ic Shock
Remove electdc power belore removing protec_
tive shields or touching electrical eq u ipment Use
rubber insulative mats placed on dry wood plat-
forms over lloors thatare metalor concrete wh€n
around electrical equipment. Do not wear damp
clothing {particularly wet shoes) or allow skin
sudaces to be damp when handling electrical
equipment.
Jewelry is a good conductor of electricity and
should be removed when working on electrical
equipmenl.
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. lt is possible for current to flow lrom
generator into the utility line. This creales ex-
treme hazards to anyone working on lines to
restore power.
lJse extreme caution when working on electrical
components. High voltages cause iniury ordeath
Follow allstate and local electrica I codes. Have all
electrical installations perlormed by a qualitied
licensed electrician.
. Oo Nol Smoke While Sericing Ballede3
Lead acid batteries emit a highly explosive
hydrogen gas that can be ignited by electrical
arcing or by smoking.
. Exhausl Gases Are Toxic
Provide an adequate exhaust system to properly
expel discharged gases. Check exhaust system
regularly for leaks. Ensure that exhaust manilolds
are secure and not warped,
Be sure lhe unit is well ventilated.
. Keep The Unit And Sur.ounding Area Clean
Flemove all oil deposits. Remove allunnecessary
grease and oil trom 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-
padment such as oil or gas cans, oily rags,
chains, wooden blocks, propan€ 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.
. Prolecl Againrt Moving Pa.ts
Avoid moving parts of the unit. Loose jackets,
shirts or sleeves should not be permitted because
ot the danger ol becoming caught in movrng
parts.
ldake surc all nuts and bolls are secure. Keep
power shields and guards in position
lf adjustments mlsl be made while the unit is
running, use extreme caution around hot
manifolds, moving parls, etc.
Do not work on this equipment when mentally or
physically latigued.

These exhaust shields and componenls I{UST be
properly installed to maintain the generatorcompart-
menl temperature ris€ requirements within the limits
of ANSI A 198.1 and CSA Electrical Bulletin #946
regulations and for proper operation of the generator
set. The exhaust system must NOT raise the
lemperature of any combustible material by more
than 117' F (65"C) above lhe ambient air inlet
temperature. Proceed as tollows:
1. After set rs completely installed in generator set
compartment, install the exhaust down pipe and
secure wrlh 5/16-18 bolts, nuts and washers
sLrpplred. Be sure to install asbestos gaskei
between exhaust manifold flanges lo prevent
leaks
2. lnsiall downpipe shield in place by engaging iab
(on inside of shield) in the clarnp ralready
positioned on downprpe) belween the locking
screw and the clamp. Tighten clamp locking
screw securely.
3. lnstail and tighten top 1/4 bolt securely.
4. Recheck and tjghten any loose bolts. lf downpipe
shield is loose, adjust clamp on downpipe and
tighten securely.
5. lnstall and connect the mulfler to the downpipe
on underside of compartment floor using hanger
bracket and u-bolt supplied. Tighten all connec-
tions securely.
6. Run ihe generator set for five minutes and check
exhaust system (visua{ly and audibly) for leaksor
excessive noise.
7. Clean spark arrestor muffler every 100 hours of
operation. Remove 1/8" pipe plug in botlom ol
mulfler and run set for 5 minutes. Then replace
pipe plug. Check exhaust system (visually and
audibly) lor leaks daily (al least every I hours of
rLnning time).

oELECTRICAL LOADS AND CONNECTIONS
All of the tollowing descriptron pertainsto alternaling
cu rrent Onan electric generating setsfor recreational
vehicles.
1. All wiring must meet appljcable local eleclrical
codes. Have a qualilied electrician install and
inspect the wiring.
2. Wires must be adequate size, properly insulaled
and supported in an approved manner.
3 Mount switches and controls securely to prevenl
damage trom vibration and road shocks. All
switches must be vibralion-proof to prevent ac-
cidental opening orclosing whilethe vehicle is in
motion.
4. lnstall an approved junction box tor feeder con_
ductors lrom the electric generating sel. lt must
have a blank cover and be inside compartment
(not on set).

WIRE TYPES
Use multistrand wirc which meets all applicable
codes as teeder conductors, lrom electric generating
set to compartment iunclion box. l,tany installers use
multistrand wire throughout the vehicle to reducethe
danger ol breakage trom vibration.
The conductors of the electric generating set shall
have an ampacity not less than 115 percent of the
nameplate current €ting ol the generator. Neutral
conductors shall be the same size as the conductors
of ihe outside Iegs-
Supply conductors lrom the electricgenerating selto
ihe junction box on the compartment wall must be
installed in flexible conduit.

Voltage selection on reconnectibe single-phase
generators is for use as 120/240 volts,3 wrre; or 120
volls, 2 wire. Use the connection 'or lwo w're service
when used lor motorstarting such as air conditioning.
Balance the load when connecting for lhree wjre
service. Current for any one output lead must not
exceed nameplale rating. When two or more single-
phase circuits are available, divide lhe load equally
belween them. See Figure 7.
STARTING CONTROLS
Remole control Onan electric generating sets are
designated by an "R inthemodelnumberandallow
the operator to stan the set rnside theveh icle, etc. See
operator's manoal for more specific intormation.
LOAD CONNECTIONS
Generalor set load wires fu11, [r2, M3 and t\r4 ter
minate within lhe junction box. Connect and join
wires within junction box in an approved manner ior
desired voltage code. See Figure 7.
On motor homes which have provisions tor using
outside Ac utility power (separate irom the electric
generating set) the neutral as well as lhe Hot" lead
MUST be completely isolated trom the motor home
when load or power is switched
The operation ot a lypical lransier device is shown in
Figure L ln addition to the transler device, an over
current protection device (circuit breaker or fuse)
shall be provided between lhe transler device and lhe
AC circuit in the molor home- The generalor set field
has inherent overload protection when any overload
is applied; frequency will sag which causes output
voltage to drop and in turn lhe generator sel fleld
drops to zero vollage. A ground lault circLrrl in-
terrupter should be installed in the wiring system lo
protect all branch circuits.
