5. Switch on the RCD.
6. Switch on the fridge (230v phase) or
plug in a 230v light to one of the 13amp
sockets. This is to provide a load on the
generator and help remove any "spikes" in
the supply which can damage the charger
unit.
7. Switch on the 5 amp circuit breaker and
any other appliances you require.
It is always advisable to have at least one other
mains appliance switched on with the charger
unit to minimise the chance of damage to it.
Do not connect the 12V output of the
generator to the battery terminals.
The AC ripple must not exceed 10%.

Connection to a mains voltage supply
overseas requires particular attention.
Care must be taken when connecting to a
supply abroad as the supply may have reverse
polarity. Reverse polarity can lead to safety
issues due to the fact that when electrical
equipment is switched off it may not be
electrically isolated. The only certain way of
making equipment safe is to unplug it.

A means of checking the polarity of the
mains supply when overseas is useful. There
are several proprietary makes of equipment
available for this purpose. These can be found

The leisure battery(s) is located under the floor
in the motorhome in a sealed compartment.
The Autograph compartment will
accommodate two batteries up to 110 amperes/
hours capacity. The Advance/Alliance
compartment accommodates one battery of
up to 110 amperes/ hours capacity. The battery
must be placed in the tray provided in the
battery storage compartment, and this must be
used at all times.

A battery of not less than 60 amperes/hours
capacity is recommended.
• The battery should be secured to prevent
movement when in transit.
• Metal objects should not be stored in the
battery box.
• DIY modifications/additions to the wiring
systems are not recommended. Consult
your dealer who will be pleased to carry out
such work.
• Switch off all appliances before
disconnecting battery.
• Negative connections should always be
disconnected first and reconnected last.
• Car type battery chargers are not suitable
for charging a leisure battery and may
damage it.
• When you are not using motorhome fridge
always ensure that the control knob is
turned to the OFF position. Failure to do this
will result in a flat battery due to 12V power
drain from the fridge circuit relays.
• Crocodile clips should never be used to
connect the battery, and terminals should
be shrouded.
• Any replacement of an auxiliary battery
shall be of the same type and specification
as that originally fitted battery or as
specified by the manufacturer.
Always switch off all appliances and
lighting before disconnecting the
auxiliary battery.
