I do have a STOP/PRIME button on my Aftermarket EC-30 inside RV, and I also have a STOP/PRIME button outside on the Onan 5500 genset (see picture #49). But, I have never had to prime it since buying coach new.
@Cavie,
I think we went down this priming rathole because question was basically being posed if the Automatic Generator could start automatically (by itself) with an assumption being made that it would need to be primed first. If you have perspective that you must prime your genset 20 secs or so before every start; I can see as fair question. But as I have tried to get across, I have never had to prime; so my AGS start and stops all the time whether I am around or not with no problems. In most cases; I am not around because it doing things based on how program.  |
Since you've chosen to attack me ...
This thread is NOT all about you. You created the thread, but others contribute, and their points are just as valid. I'm not talking about ME either. There are others here who have said they do have to prime, making that a very valid question about the AGS. Someone also indicated the lack of a button labeled for priming. That seems to be pretty universally true, as those with the capability appear to use "stop" for that purpose. Pointing out that holding "stop" is how one primes, is also a valid thing to do, given where the thread went.
It's great that you don't have to prime, but this thread, these forums, and the world don't revolve solely around you. Hopefully I won't have to prime either. At this point, I'm just learning how to go about these things, since I don't yet have my RV. (I've many years experience with a variety of trailers though.) Whether I need to or not, I'll find out in the future.
Thanks for finding out and posting about whether or not Surge Guards can be chained. That's good information to know.
