Converter

The power converter turns 120 volts AC power to useable 12 volts DC power when the
shore line power cord is connected to an external power source. The converter has a built-in
protective thermal breaker that will shut it down should overheating occur. Overheating can
be caused by operating the converter above its maximum power output for an extended period
of time, or by an obstruction to its ventilation air flow.

Inspection and Maintenance

If the power converter is not working check the fuse(s) located on the outer case. There are no
customer serviceable parts inside the converter case and the manufacturer's warranty will be
voided if the case has been opened. If you have further concerns please contact your selling dealer.

Inverter

The factory-installed inverter is not intended for use with medical device(s).
Your motorhome may be equipped with a factory installed inverter that converts 12 volts DC
to useable 120 volts AC. It also supplies continuous AC power to the appliance plugged into
it. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the inverter function and operation. The
inverter should be turned OFF when the motorhome is in storage.
Inspection and Maintenance
If the inverter is not functioning check both the circuit breaker protecting the inverter input,
and the fuse located on the inverter. There are no customer serviceable parts inside the
inverter case and the manufacturer's warranty will be void if the case has been opened. The
inverter cooling fins and the cooling fan should be kept clear of any obstructions. If you have
further concerns contact your dealer.
