Testing The Campsite Power Connection - Jayco 2016 Jay Series Owner's Manual

SECTION 6 - ELECTRICALSYSTEM
PLUG INTO 30-AMP SERVICE ONLY.

Do not hook up the 30-amp power cord to any receptacle until you have
verified proper polarity and grounding. RV circuit analyzers can be
purchased in most electrical or hardware stores.

Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or extension cord to reduce
incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to the
grounding pin.

Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or
adapt the 30 amp power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which
it is not designed.

Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded
receptacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important safety
feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.

Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper
extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially
causing premature failure of the AC equipment.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the electrical receptacle to ensure that
the receptacle is properly wired and grounded. Reverse polarity and/or
improper grounding of your RV can cause personal injury or death.

non-functioning ground circuits, or that shows outward signs of heat damage.
Injury or damage resulting from connection to malfunctioning or improperly wired
power sources is not covered by your RV warranty.
Campsite 120-volt power receptacles can be tested using a digital multimeter or a
dedicated circuit analyzer.
