BATTERY

The RV has one or more DEEP CYCLE 12V batteries on board (as equipped by dealer or consumer). Both are
maintained in the same manner. Check the electrolyte fluid levels on a regular basis, especially during hot weather
conditions. Refill as necessary with either distilled water or clean tap water in an emergency. DO NOT ALLOW THE
FLUID LEVELS IN THE BATTERIES TO FALL BELOW THE INTERNAL BATTERY PLATES. DAMAGE TO THE
BATTERIES MAY RESULT AND SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE BATTERIES.
When charging the batteries, do not charge at such a fast rate as to cause spewing of the electrolyte from the cells.
However, do charge the battery with the cell vent caps off.
WARNING: NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME AROUND BATTERIES.
SPARKS. FUMES FROM THE BATTERY ARE COMBUSTABLE. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR CORROSION
ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS.
POWER AS WELL AS CUT DOWN ON THE EFFICIENCY OF THE CHARGING/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
THIS COULD LEAD TO A SITUATION WHERE THE BATTERY ISN'T CHARGED ENOUGH TO START
THE VEHICLE. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND GLOVES WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES.
If your batteries have problems prior to the end of their warranty period, consult the nearest representative of the
battery manufacturer.
When it is time to replace the batteries, be sure to replace them with quality batteries of equal electrical and physical
properties. Contact your nearest dealer for advice in the selection of new batteries.
Good fuse
Your unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Interrupter that will stop the
current in the event of a short. If you find that 110v AC power is
missing at any receptacle of the motor home, first check to see if the
GFI button has been tripped (FIG 8). Then check the breaker panel
(FIG. 7A). If the GFI button has been tripped, you may have a short
in your circuit. Please have a professional test and repair as needed.
The GFI recepts are located near the kitchen sink, the bath sink
and/or the exterior receptacle location.
