AINTENANCE As Newmar power systems are state of the art electronic systems, little routine maintenance is required. 8.1. System • During normal operation the cable entries to the MCBs may loosen over time due to movement in the cable strands. To avoid damage to the MCB’s and cable entries due to heat build-up and arching, it is recommended that the retaining torque is periodically checked at least annually.
