Volt Battery Disconnect - Jayco CLASS C2013 GREYHAWK Owner's Manual

SECTION 6 – 30 AMP ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an extension

cord can cause overheating of the extension cord and can create a low
voltage condition. Premature failure of connected 120-volt AC powered
equipment may result.
Do not connect the power cord to an outlet that is not grounded or adapt the

30 amp power cord plug to connect to a receptacle for which it is not
designed.
Do not remove the power cord grounding terminal to allow connection with a

non-grounded receptacle. Disabling the grounding circuit of the shore power
cord may create a shock or electrocution hazard.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the electrical receptacle being
used is properly wired and grounded.
Reverse polarity and/or improper grounding of the motor home can cause property
damage, personal injury or death. Failures due to improperly wired and grounded
electric receptacles are not covered by the limited warranty.
12- DC S
VOLT YSTEM
The majority of your motor home lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12-
volt DC system is composed of components that will operate when the following
conditions are met:
□ Power is supplied by the chassis alternator when the chassis engine is
running.
□ The power converter will supply interior 12-volt DC power when the shore
power cord is plugged into a 120-volt external power source. The converter
will also charge the house batteries in most situations.
□ The house batteries power many interior 12-volt components including the
lighting fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc, when the
motorhome is not connected to a 120 volt power source.

UXILIARY TART
Your motor home is equipped with an auxiliary start switch which can momentarily
connect both the house and chassis batteries should the chassis battery become
discharged. To operate, depress the "Aux. Start" switch (located on the front
driver's dash) and hold it down. While the "Aux. Start" switch is depressed use the
ignition key to start the chassis engine. Release the "Aux. Start" switch after the
engine has started.
12-V B
OLT ATTERY
The 12-volt battery disconnect switch is located near the entrance door.
This momentary switch controls a latching type solenoid (located near the house
batteries), which connects or disconnects the house batteries dependent upon the
number of times it is pushed.
When engaged the battery disconnect solenoid supplies battery power to all
accessories connected to the house 12-volt fuse panel.
The battery disconnect feature should be used to disconnect the motor home from
house battery power during periods of storage or during maintenance. The
solenoid must be engaged for the 12-volt house electrical system to operate.
