Cummins generator

I have a two year old Cummins Onan Rv QG 4000 generator. I haven't used it much but I start it monthly and put a load on it. Went to start it today and the solenoid seems to click but no engagement to start. It has been cold, could that be the culprit? Also is the circuit breaker on the lower right side for starting or generation of power to the coach? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks McD

The batteries are fully charged according to the onboard panel.

When it's cold out hold the on/off/prime button to off until the indicator light turns on (usually 3 to 5 seconds) then try to start it. This is how you prime it.

Check your batteries first.

The Circuit Breakers on the Genset are for its AC output.
