ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE (page 38)
Use caution when using metal tools. If a tool contacts a battery
terminal or metal connected to it, a short circuit could occur which
could cause personal injury, explosion or fire.
12-VOLT FUSE PANEL (page 38)
Replacement fuses must be of the same voltage, amperage rating
and type. Never use a higher rated replacement fuse; doing so may
cause a fire by overheating the RV wiring.
12-VOLT DC/USB OUTLET (page 39)
Keep the protective dust cap on the 12-volt DC/USB outlet when
not in use to prevent intrusion of foreign material and potential short
circuit conditions.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (page 42)
FAILURE TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING
WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH!
The TPMS system is designed to monitor tire pressure and
temperature. It is not designed to provide warning of sudden critical
tire damage and blowout caused by external effects. The driver
should react promptly to any warning and correct the problem.
Tires can fail for other reasons besides low pressure, high
temperature or overloading. Always be on the alert for other tire
problems as indicated by unusual noises, vibrations, uneven tread
wear, or bulges on the tires. If any of these symptoms occur, have the
tires inspected immediately by a tire professional.
AUXILIARY BATTERY (page 49)
Do not store anything inside the battery compartment(s) or near
the batteries that could touch the battery or battery cable terminals.
Contact with the battery or battery cable terminals could cause an
electrical short circuit, discharge the batteries, or start an electrical
fire.
Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away from the batteries as the
hydrogen gas they create may explode. Do not connect a booster
battery or other power source that outputs more than 14.2-volts DC to
lead acid or AGM batteries. Use adequate ventilation when charging
or using batteries in an enclosed space. Remove metal jewelry and
always wear eye protection when working around batteries.
Do not allow battery electrolyte (acid) to come into contact with skin,
eyes, fabric or painted surfaces. Electrolyte is a sulfuric acid solution
that could cause serious personal injury or property damage. If your
hands, eyes, clothes or the painted surface of your motor home are
exposed to electrolyte, flush the exposed area thoroughly with water.
If electrolyte gets in your eyes, immediately flush them thoroughly with
water and get prompt medical attention.
ELECTRICAL
TESTING THE CAMPSITE POWER CONNECTION (page 45)
30 AMP POWER CORD & 50 AMP POWER CORD (page 45)
Do not hook the power cord to any receptacle until you have verified
proper polarity and grounding.
DO NOT plug the shore power cord into a campsite receptacle(s):
•
That has reverse polarity
•
That has non-functioning ground circuits
•
That shows outward signs of heat damage.
Doing so may result in property damage or serious injury. Plugging
the shore power cord into an incorrectly wired power source could
damage the recreation vehicle electrical system and result in severe
or fatal injury. Damage or injury resulting from connection to
malfunctioning or improperly wired power sources is not covered by
your recreation vehicle warranty.
Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reconfigure
incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to
the grounding pin.
Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or
adapt the power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is
not designed.
Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded
receptacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important safety
feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an
improper extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as
potentially causing premature failure of the AC equipment.
The power cord must be fully extended when in use and not left coiled
in the electrical compartment or on the ground. A power cord left
coiled may potentially create enough heat to melt its protective casing.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the electrical receptacle to
ensure that the receptacle is properly wired and grounded. Reverse
polarity and/or improper grounding of your RV can cause property
damage or serious personal injury.
120-VOLT, 30-AMP AC ELECTRIC SYSTEM (page 45)
Make certain the external power source you connect the power cord
to is a properly wired 30-amp NEMA TT-30 RV receptacle and not
240-volt AC. PLUG INTO 30-AMP SERVICE ONLY.
Circuit breakers and fuses will not offer complete protection of the
electrical system in the event of power surge or voltage spike.
120-VOLT, 50-AMP AC ELECTRIC SYSTEM (page 45)
Circuit breakers and fuses will not offer complete protection of the
electrical system in the event of power surge or voltage spike.
Make certain the external power source you connect the power cord
to is a properly wired 50 AMP NEMA 14-50 RV receptacle and not 240
volt AC. PLUG INTO 50 AMP SERVICE ONLY.
