Teslthe GFI at least once a month.TotesltheGFI,
connect to 120-volt AC:
Push the "TEST" button. The "RESET" button
should pop out, indicating that the protected
circuit has been disconnected.
IF THE 'RESET' BUTTON DOES NOT POP
OUTWHENTHETEST BUTTON IS PUSHED,
A LOSS OF GROUND FAULT PROTECTION
IS INDICATED. DO NOT USE ANY ELECTRI-
CAL OUTLETS. HAVE THE MOTOR HOME
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKED AT AN
AUTHORIZED FLEETWOOD SERVICE CEN-
TER OR BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
DO NOTUSETHE SYSTEM UNTIL THE PROB-
LEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
To restore power push the "RESET" button.
Your Owner's Information Package contains a card that
can be used to record test dates. Keep the card in a
conspicuous place and keep it up to date.
ELECTRONIC CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(Std.-Widebody and Widebody Diesel models;
Opt.-Some standard Southwind models)
The dual air conditioners are controlled by the Elec-
tronic Climate Control system. This system allows both
automatic and manual control of the rooftop air condi-
tioners and the furnace(s) in your motor home.
The system will automatically control the air condi-
tionertemperature, and when in the AUTOMATIC mode,
it will control the fan speed to provide the necessary
cooling at the quietest fan speed.
The system also monitors the current being drawn by
all the electrical appliances in the motor home. Since
the air conditioners draw a large amount of current, the
climate control system may turn them off to prevent
circuit overload. Once the system turns them off, it will
keep them off as long as required, and then automati-
cally return them to normal operation.
The system is designed to operate from 120-volt, 30
amp AC service ONLY. Connection of the motor home
to any other power source will cause
improper
opera-
tion of the system. If only 20-amp service is available,
current load management must be done manually by
the owner and only one air conditiner can be operated
at one time.
SOLAR PANEL
(If Installed)
35
The solar charging panel installed on the roof of your
motor home is designed to "trickle-charge" your battery
system. It is not intended to be a fast charging or heavy
current electrical source. During periods of clear sky
and bright sun, the solar panel will help keep your
batteries "topped-up". Do not try to operate 12-volt DC
appliances with the output of the solar panel. The solar
monitor, mounted in the front roof air conditioner shroud,
will light up to indicate a trickle-charge.
The panel is expanable with optional expansion panels.
Contact your dealer for more information on expansion
panels.
COACH FUSES
AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The 120-volt circuit breakers and 12-volt fuses are
located in the same compartment. These devices inter-
ruptthe power if the circuit is overloaded.
The 120-volt circuit breakers include a 30 amp main
breaker and several smaller breakers for individual
circuits. If a circuit breaker is tripped, look for an
overload on the circuit, then reset it by turning the
breaker OFF and then turning it ON. Do not try to reset
a breaker the second time without locating the overload
problem.
The 12-volt fuses protect individual circuits. If the circuit
is overloaded, it will blow the fuse and the fuse must be
replaced. Check the circuit for an overload and replace
the fuse with the same type or amperage rating.
WARNING
DO NOT INSTALL 12-VOLT FUSES OR 120-
VOLT BREAKERS WITH AMPERAGE RAT-
INGS GREATER THAN THAT SPECIFIED ON
THE DEVICE OR LABEL. DOING SO CON-
STITUTES A FIRE HAZARD.
GENERATOR
Your motor home may be equipped with a gasoline-
powered generator which will provide complete electri-
cal self-containment when regular public utility AC
power is unavailable. Controls are at the generator and
at a remote control panel located inside the motor
home.
