this

could

result

Generator

Set

The

optional

generator

set

is

located

at

the

rear

passenger

side

of

the

motorhome.

The

manufacturer

of

this generator

has

provided

complete

operating

instructions

for

the

unit

installed

by

Chinook.

These

instructions,

contained

in

the

owner

information

and

warranty

package,

should

be

read

completely

before

attempting

to

operate

the

generator.

In

addition

to

the

switch

provided

on

the

front

panel

of

the

Genset,

all models

have

a

generator

start

switch

above

the

wardrobe

door

and

some

models

have

a

second

optional

generator

start

switch

above

the

driver's

seat.

The

generator

provides

4000

watts

of

power

to

charge

your

batteries

as

well

as

power

your

I

IOv

and

12v

appliances.

Breaker

Panel

The

1

10V

distribution

panel

is

Iocated

at

the

bottom of

the

wardrobe

on

Glacier models.

Breakers

are

used

to

protect

the

110V

electrical

system.

These

circuit

breakers

do

not

reset

automatically

and

must

be

turned

off,

then

returned

to

the

*Onw

position.

Continued

tripping

of

the

breakers

indicates

an

electrical

problem

that

should

be

checked

by

a

service

technician.

All

duplex

outlets

are

GFCI

protected

by

the

GFCI outiet

located

just

inside

the

side

entry

door.

There

are

dual

buss

panefs, one

for

shore

power,

and

the

other

for

the

inverter.

Automatic

Transfer

Switch

An

autarnatic

transfer

switch,

located

in

the

wardrube,

senses

which

source

of

110V

power

is

in

use

(shore

power

or

generator)

and

will

switch

to

that

source.

However,

if

both

the

generator

and

shore

power

happen

to

be

on

at

the

same

time,

the

generator

will

take

priority-

The

owner's

manual

for

the

generator

should

be

reviewed

for

further

information.
