1.1 purpose and scope

oF the Manual

These Installation Instructions have been prepared

especially for the purpose of familiarizing installers

and owners of the applicable equipment with the

product's installation requirements. Give serious

consideration to all information and instructions in

the manual, both for safety and for continued reliable

operation of the equipment.
Because of the different recreational vehicle mod-

els and the variations between the models, it would

be extremely difficult, if not impractical, to provide

detailed instructions for every possible installation.

For that reason, instructions and illustrations in this

manual are general in nature. Illustrations are not

intended to serve as detailed installation blueprints.
The installation should comply strictly with all appli-

cable codes, standards and regulations pertaining

to the installation and use of this product. If any

portion of this manual appears to be in conflict with

such codes, standards or regulations, the applicable

codes, standards or regulations must take prece-

dence over the manual.

1.4 equIpMent descrIptIon

Instructions and information in this section pertain

to air-cooled generators. This generator is designed

specifically for installing in recreational vehicles. This

generator operates 120-volts, single-phase, 60-Hertz,

AC electrical loads that require 28.3 amps.

1.5 generator engIne

operatIng speed

The generator’s revolving field (rotor) is driven by a

single-cylinder, four-cycle engine. The generator sup-

plies 120 volts AC at 60 Hertz when the rotor is oper-

ating at 3,600 rpm.

1.6 generator ac

connectIon systeM

The generator is equipped with dual stator power

windings as shown in Figure 1.1.

Figure 1.1 – 120-volt Single Voltage Connection

28.3 AMP

• The AC connection system on all air-cooled genera-

tors uses a GROUNDED neutral.

• A separate green ground wire is connected to the

recreational vehicle’s junction box.

NOTE:

Do NOT connect loads in excess of circuit

breaker ratings.
