120 - VoLT cIRcUIT BREAKERS
When the circuit breakers are shut down or electrically tripped, they must be manually re-
set. These breakers protect the slide-outs, the 120-VAC system, and the 120-VAC disconnect
system. (As needed, manually reset the circuit breaker or breakers).
Be careful when working around these connections as an accidental electrical short (i.e.:
momentarily connecting the "positive" or "hot" terminal to any part of the chassis) can be
hazardous and harmful.
The 120-volt AC circuit breakers are located in the main load center. They protect all of the
120-volt wiring and components. Each circuit is identified on a label inside the load center.
• An overload or short circuit will cause the breaker to trip, stopping the flow of electricity
for the affected circuit.
• If a circuit breaker trips, turn OFF the appliance on that circuit. Allow some time for the
circuit breaker to cool.
• To RESET the circuit breaker, flip the switch to the OFF position, then flip it back to the
ON position.
• If a breaker immediately trips again or trips frequently, contact your dealer to diagnose
and repair the problem.
