ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
WARNING
Do not store anything around or on
top of the converter, or in front of the
cover. The converter generates heat
while operating, and needs unre-
stricted air flow for proper cooling.
Power Converter and Circuit Breaker Loca-
tions
The converter system is made up of individual
components located in various parts of the coach.

110-Volt Circuit Breakers
The breaker panel protects all 110-volt com-
ponents in the motor home from either an over-
load on the circuit or a short in the wiring or
component itself. When an overload or short
develops, the breaker will open preventing any
further flow of electricity and, therefore, damage
to the system.
Shut off the equipment (example: air
conditioner) and allow a brief cooling period.
Then reset the breaker by moving the switch to
"Off" and back to "On". If the breaker is
continually tripped and no overload is evident,
have the system checked for a short in the wiring
or the appliances.
Charging Section
The converter charges house batteries while
110-volt external power is connected. The con-
verter will automatically "sense" the condition of
the RV battery. If it is below "full charge", the
Charging Section will start charging the battery.
If the house batteries have been extremely dis-
charged, they will accept charge at a relatively
high amperage rate. If they are only slightly dis-
charged, they will charge at a lower amperage
rate. The rate of charge will decrease as the bat-
teries reach "full charge", then will remain
"trickle" charging at a very low amperage rate. If
your storage battery does not charge as described
above, it is possible the battery is defective.
