Is there a break-in process for a new Cummins Onan RV generator?
Hello, I am very glad that I have a mobile home. If you’ve just bought a mobile home, you don’t have to worry about finding a circuit breaker. I am often asked the question by people who only buy a motorhome – Where Is The Circuit Breaker In My RV? It plays a very important role in the entire electrical system of your vehicle.
Yes, your generator will perform better if you follow the break-in procedure recommended in the Operator’s Manual. This typically involves running the generator at about 50 percent load for two hours, then at about 75 percent load for two hours, then letting it cool down. You should change the engine crankcase oil after the first 20 hours of operation, and every 100 to 150 hours thereafter. See your Operator’s Manual for advice specific to your model.
