Reverse Polarity Indicator - Four winns 248 Vista Owner's Manual

Water Heater - The WATER HEATER circuit breaker
supplies power to the water heater. Refer to Section
J-2C - Water Heating Systems in this manual for more
information.
NOTICE
DO NOT supply electrical power to an empty
water heater. Activate the FRESH WATER
circuit breaker and switch to start the water
pump and prime the system. Be sure there is
adequate water in the system before turning on
the water heater. Failure to comply will result
in immediate damage to the heater element.
Electric Stove - The RANGE circuit breaker must be
activated to supply power to the electric stove on all
Vista® models. Refer to Section L-1A - Galley Equip-
ment in this manual for more information.
Microwave - The MICROWAVE breaker must be ac-
tivated and the boat connected to dockside power or
use the generator (if applicable) to supply power to the
microwave on the Vista™ models.
Icemaker - The icemaker is available on certain Vista™
models only. The ICEMAKER breaker must be "ON"
to supply power to the icemaker.
Receptacles - The OUTLETS circuit breakers supply
power to the corresponding receptacles in the AC
system.
Air Conditioner - The AIR CONDITIONER circuit
breaker supplies power to the air conditioner. When
equipped with air conditioning, certain Vista™ models
have dual dockside installation while other models
have single dockside installation. With a dual dockside
installation, one inlet is dedicated to the air condition-
ing only and the other is for the AC Main Shore inlet.
Refer to Section L-4 - Air Conditioning in this manual
for more information.
Most receptacle circuits are capable of handling 15
amperes. Refer to Table III for a list of equipment
and the electrical currents usually required to operate
these items. For 220 volt, 50 Hertz models, divide all
of the current ratings by 2. Usually, the power require-
ment is specified on the electrical item. This is only an
approximation of the electric current usage normally
experienced.

C. Reverse Polarity Indicator
Improper grounds or reversed polarity at shore power
are a source of serious electrical hazard. The reverse
polarity light will indicate if a problem exists at the 120
AC electrical system shore connection
.
If a problem exists, the reverse polarity indicator light
will come on when the shore power cable is attached
to the inlet. DO NOT activate the shore power switch
in the cabin when the reverse polarity light is on.
ALWAYS check the reverse polarity indicator
light in the AC distribution panel immediately
upon connecting the shore power cord before
turning on the AC SHORE POWER circuit
breaker. If the light is on, a problem with a
reversed electrical connection exists. Discon-
nect the shore power cord immediately. Notify
the marina and have the dock's shore power
connection inspected.
Under proper operating conditions, the reverse polarity
indicator light will not be on. A green light is provided
for the shore power and will be "ON" when dockside
power is being used.
