Inverter; Converter - Jayco 2016 White Hawk Owner's Manual

JAYCO TOWABLE
Circuit breakers and fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical system
in the event of power surge or voltage spike.
Replacement
Only replace circuit breakers with those of the same specified type, voltage, and current
rating. Never replace a circuit breaker with one listed at a higher amperage rating.
Please contact your dealer for repair assistance when replacing circuit breakers.
Replacement circuit breakers must be of the same voltage, amperage rating and type.
Never use a higher rated replacement circuit breaker; doing so may cause a fire by
overheating the RV wiring.
Maintenance
At the beginning of camping season, inspect the circuit breakers and replace as needed.
Test by turning each circuit breaker "off" and back "on". Circuit breakers are wearable
parts and must be replaced as needed, as part of your RV maintenance. If you have any
questions, consult your dealer.
A label is provided to explain the function of every 120-volt circuit breaker. This label is
located on or near the appropriate load center or sub-panel and must remain permanently
affixed to the recreation vehicle.

Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with a factory-installed inverter that converts 12-
volt DC current to 120-volt AC current. It is important that you familiarize yourself with
the inverter function and operation. The inverter should be "off" when not in use.
The factory-installed inverter is not intended for use with medical device(s).
An inverter converts 12-volts DC to useable 120-volts AC and supplies continuous AC
power to the appliance plugged into it. Your recreation vehicle may use an inverter to
supply the 120-volts AC necessary to power a residential style refrigerator (if so
equipped). The inverter in your recreation vehicle has been carefully selected to provide
proper power to operate the refrigerator safely.
Inspection and maintenance
If the inverter is not functioning, check the fuse protecting the inverter input. If you have
further concerns contact your dealer. There are no customer serviceable parts inside the
inverter case and the manufacturer's warranty will be void if the case has been
removed. As with the converter, cooling fins and the cooling fan should be kept clear of
any obstructions.

The power converter converts 120-volt AC power to useable 12-volt DC power when the
shore power cord is connected to an external power source.
The converter has a built-in protective thermal breaker that will shut it down should
overheating occur.
