SECTION 6 - ELECTRICALSYSTEM
Plugging the shoreline power cord into an incorrectly wired power source
could damage the RV electrical system and result in severe or fatal injury.
The power cord must be fully extended when in use and not left coiled in the
electrical compartment or on the ground. If the power cord is left coiled, it
may potentially create enough heat to melt its protective casing.
50 AMP Power Cord
PLUG INTO 50-AMP SERVICE ONLY.
Connecting the power cord
Always test the external power source (i.e., the campsite power receptacle or
electrical box) with a ground monitor before connecting your power cord to it. If the
ground monitor indicates 'reverse polarity' or an 'open ground' DO NOT connect
the power cord.
1. Turn "off" the load center main 120-volt circuit breaker.
2. Carefully extend the entire length of the power cord (approximately 25'-35')
from the electric cable hatch to the external power source.
3. Plug the power cord into the receptacle. Be sure all the power cord prongs
are properly plugged into the receptacle.
4. Return to your RV and turn "on" the load center main circuit breaker.
5. To help prevent power surges from damaging the connected loads, please
follow these instructions when hooking up to the external power source:
The shore line power cord should be unplugged when the RV is left
unattended. If something would happen to the electrical system, this may
help limit potential damage.
When you are ready to leave, reverse the power cord connection process. Use
care to prevent damaging the power cord electrical connection pins when
connecting or disconnecting the shore line power cord.
Grasp the plug to remove the power cord from the outlet; do not unplug it by
pulling on the cord.
Maintenance
Inspect the power cord for cuts, cracks and worn insulation. Have the power cord
replaced immediately if these symptoms are noticed.
