Title: 2001 Affinity generator issue

I have owned this beauty just six weeks. I went to my storage unit to start the generator and for the first time it would not start. I held the prestart button for 60 seconds, it turned over for maybe six seconds and then shut off??

I think it may be a low battery, but I have no idea where the battery is for the generator. If I did, I would put a boost on it. Also, I may be doing something wrong.

Any help appreciated

The genset fuel take-up is usually a 1/4 tank off the bottom. If your fuel is low or you're off level, you're sucking air.

Try the battery switch on the left side, and have the generator start

Richard :Your coach should have a "Generater Boost 'switch. try starting your gen set by holding this button in, If it starts, you have a battery issue. If it still doesn't start you have other issues. As to where the gen battery is located, that could be anyone's guess. Some units even use the engine battery to start the gen-set .but this is usually on lower end units .I would begin by looking under the entry step .I am assuming you have already checked the gen slide .you my have to wiggle up in under the coach to see if you can see the battery. It will be somewhere close to your gen-set.
