Power Cord - Jayco 2013 JAY FEATHER TOWABLES Owner's Manual

SECTION 6 - ELECTRICALSYSTEM
30 AMP S
YSTEM
Make very certain the external power source (30 amp systems only) you
connect the power cord to is a 30 amp/120-volt AC RV receptacle and not
240 volt AC.
Your RV is equipped with a 30 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system. The
entire system is designed to operate on 1 leg of 120-volt power at a maximum
current flow of 30 amperes. Exposure to voltages higher or lower than a nominal
120-volts will damage or shorten the service life of the electrical system and
appliances. The 30 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system can be powered by
the 120-volt 60hz utilities found in RV campgrounds or by 120-volt 60hz generator
power.

The power cord is also commonly referred to as the "shore power cord." This
power cord is designed to ground the RV electrical system through the external
power source receptacle. It is also designed to carry the voltage and current
output from 30 amp campground power receptacles.
Occasionally the electrical service provided by a campground may experience low
or high voltage (i.e., surges or spikes). Any prolonged exposure will shorten the
life of the electrical system and appliances. Consult your dealer for
recommendations on power surge protection.
PLUG INTO 30-AMP SERVICE ONLY.

Do not hook up the 30-amp power cord to any receptacle until you have
verified proper polarity and grounding. Polarity indicators can be
purchased in most electrical and hardware stores.

Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reduce
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 30 amp 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.
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 personal injury or death.
