WARNING
WHEN THE THREE PRONGED PLUG CAN
BE USED THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEMS
WITH PROPER POLARITY OR GROUNDING.
In
soine
older
parks
and
other
locations
where
three
pronged
out¬
lets
are
not
available ,
certain
precautions
to
insure
proper
grounding
and polarity
must
be
taken.
These
precautions
are
1is ted
below:
1.
Attach
the
three
pronged
plug
to
a
two
pronged
adapter.
The
third
conductor
line
of
this
adapter
has
a
short
wire
lead
which
mus t
be
grounded.
2.
For
proper
grounding
connect
the
short
ground
lead
to
a
grounded
outlet
box
or
to
a
cold water
pipe.
When
no
water
pipe
is
available
drive
a
metal
rod
two
feet
into
the
ground
and
attach
the
ground
lug
to
it,
thus
providing
the
unit
with
proper
grounding.
TO
OPERATE
SELF-CONTAINED,
Simply
disconnect
the
power
supply
cable.
The
STOP
AND
TURN
SIGNAL
MONITOR,
optional
on
some
models,
is
mount¬
ed
on
the
front
roadside
of
the
trailer.
It
monitors
the
functions
of
the
rear
taillight,
stop,
and
turn
signal
lamps.
The
uppermost
window
is
for
curbside
and
lower
roadside.
They
light
up
if
vehicle
lights
are
on,
get
bright¬
er
if
the
stop
light
is
operated,
and
flash
if
turn
signal
is
work¬
ing .
The
monitor
is
not
electrically
operated.
It
is
connected
to
the
respective
1amp
by
means
of
fiber
optics.
When
your
trailer
is
hooked
up
to
120
volt
A.C.
the
UNIVOLT
SYSTEM
AUTOMATICALLY
CHARGES
THE
TRAILER
BATTERIES
and,
if
it
is
hooked
up,
your
automobile
battery
as
well.
The
speed
and
degree
of
charge
depends
on
how
much
power
is
used
for
lights
and
appliances,
as
only
the
surplus
goes
to
charging
the
battery.
If
you
are
making
an
extended
stay,
then
you
should
(if
it
is
available)
KEEP
YOUR TRAILER
HOOKED
UP
TO
120
VOLT
CURRENT.
Wheneve r
possible
use
the
auto¬
matic
built
in
charger
of
the
univolt
system
for
charging.
The
charging
circuit
automatically
controls
the
current,
reducing
it
as
the
battery
increases
in
charge.
At
service
stations
make
certain
they
give
your
battery
a
slow
charge
because
quick
charges
will
drastically
shorten
th e
life
of
the
battery ,
as
will
allowing
repeated
complete
discharges.
The
LOW VOLTAGE
DISTRIBUTION
PANEL
is
located
on
the
interior
front
panel
below
the
center
window,
and
in
some
cases
is
covered
by
a wall
pad
that
un¬
snaps
to
remove.The
12
volt
circuits
are
all
protected
by
automatic
resetting
circuit
breakers.
If
a
breaker
trips
an
audible
click
will
be
heard,
and
you
will
probably
see
lights
or
hear
appliances
or
fans
quit
working.
In
a
short
time
the
breaker will
reset
and
power will
resume.
If
the
breaker
trips
a
second
time
some
of
the
lights
on
appliances
on
that
circuit
should
be
shut
off.
If
the
breaker
continues
to
trip
on
and
off
the
circuit wiring
to
the
breaker
should
be
removed
or
all
12
volt
and
110
volt
power
disconnected
until
repairs
can
be
made.
The
ques tionable
breaker
can
either
be
identified
by
the
audible
click
or
it
may
be
much
warmer
than
the
others .
