JAYCO CLASS A MOTOR HOMES
There are no customer serviceable parts inside the converter case and the
manufacturer's warranty will be void if the case has been removed. If you
have further concerns contact your dealer.
GFCI R
ECEPTACLE
Grounding is your personal protection from electrical shock. Each motor home
has a ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) engineered into the electrical system.
This device has been designed to reduce the possible injury caused by electric
shock. The GFCI will not protect against short circuits or circuit overloads.
Test all GFCI receptacles monthly

Push in the GFCI "TEST" button. The GFCI "RESET" button should pop out
indicating the GFCI receptacle has been "tripped" and interrupted 120-volt
power.

Push in the GFCI "RESET" button to restore 120-volt power. Contact your
independent Jayco dealer for assistance if the GFCI "RESET" button does not
restore 120-volt power and pops back out.
A "tripped" GFCI receptacle indicates that abnormally high 120-volt current flow (a
ground fault) was detected through the electrical system grounding circuit. A fault
condition can be caused by faulty wire insulation, wet wiring inside an appliance,
or faulty electrical equipment connected to the circuit, etc. All ground faults must
be repaired before use of the motor home
12- DC S
VOLT YSTEM
The majority of your motor home lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12-
volt DC system is composed of components that will operate when the following
conditions are met:

Power is supplied by the chassis alternator when the chassis engine is
running.

The power converter will supply interior 12-volt DC power when the shore
power cord is plugged into a 120-volt external power source. The converter
will also charge the house batteries in most situations.

The house batteries power many interior 12-volt components including the
lighting fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc, when the
motorhome is not connected to a 120 volt power source.
A S
UXILIARY TART
Your motor home is equipped with an auxiliary start switch which can momentarily
connect both the house and chassis batteries should the chassis battery become
discharged. To operate, depress the "Aux. Start" switch (located on the front
driver's dash) and hold it down. While the "Aux. Start" switch is depressed use the
ignition key to start the chassis engine. Release the "Aux. Start" switch after the
engine has started.
12-V B
OLT ATTERY
The 12-volt battery disconnect switch is located near the entrance door. This
momentary switch controls a latching type solenoid (located near the house
batteries), which connects or disconnects the house batteries dependent upon the
number of times it is pushed.
When engaged the battery disconnect solenoid supplies battery power to all
accessories connected to the house 12-volt fuse panel.
