If my house batteries are very low and will not turn my generator over, can I engage the "engine emergency start" button to start the generator?Not trying hijack the thread, but it seems to be related.
I think so. But I can't do it on my rig because my arms aren't long enough. :)
My 3-way rocker switch with MOM (emergency start) is on the dash by the driver. The generator start switch is either on the generator or back on the stove vent hood.
My generator starts from the engine battery. I would have to get a helper to hold the MOM switch in order to start the generator from the engine battery.
A better solution would be to use the house batteries to start the engine, and then start the generator using the current provided by the alternator (and let the alternator charge up the engine battery).
