Note: The master disconnect switch turns off everything on the coach bat-
tery, EXCEPT the refrigerator control and the LP/CO gas detector. The refrig-
erator must be turned off individually. The LP/CO detector can not be turned
off. The engine battery is not affected by this switch.
The radio memory/dash clock and LP leak detector are powered by the
coach battery, and will drain the coach battery if the previously listed steps are
not taken.
WARNING
DO NOT REPLACE CIRCUIT BREAKERS OR FUSES WITH THOSE

Please read the inverter manufacturer's instructions found in your compo-
nent manuals file box included with your motorhome.
The coach batteries will be charged when 120v AC is available from the
shoreline or the generator. The charger switch must be in the ON position with
the ProSine Charger/Inverter.
Use your inverter wisely, remembering you only have as much power as
the batteries have stored in them.
It is not feasible to run some items such as air conditioning on an inverter.
To determine what items are powered by the inverter see 120 volt electrical
schematics.
For complete instructions on the operation of your inverter/converter sys-
tem please read the manufacturer's instructions found in your component man-
uals file box.
The voltage monitor measures each leg of 120 volt AC current supplied to
the coach from the shoreline or the generator. All Foretravel products are
equipped with this voltage and polarity meter. If polarity is not correct, discon-
nect until the problem is corrected at the source or move to another site.
