Battery Isolator

[fred89sp]

Suggest you try the following in this order:

1. Press and hold the aux battery switch as you try to start the
generator. The generator is started with the coach batteries which
are dead but isolated from the rear chassis batteries. There may be
enough in the chassis batteries (via pressing and holding the aux
battery switch) to start the generator even though not enough to start
the Cat. Let the generator charge both coach and chassis batteries
for a while and then start the Cat.

2. Can you plug in the coach? If so plug it in which will charge both
coach and chassis batteries for a while and then start the Cat .

3. Jump start the generator by jumping the coach batteries. Let the
generator charge both coach and chassis batteries for a while and then
start the Cat .

Once things are running you will not have a ZF voltage problem. Be
sure A/T switch is not off.
