Battery cut-out SWItch
The battery cut-out switch is
located inside and next to the
entry door. This switch controls
the 12 Volt DC power to the house
fuse panels.
When the switch is
activated, power is supplied to all
the interior DC lighting and DC
operated appliances. Some appliances require
both DC and AC power to operate, such as
the roof air conditioner. This switch is helpful
when dry camping to conserve house battery
power. Refrigerator and inverter operation are
unaffected by the operation of this switch. When
turned off, this switch will not stop all parasitic
loads and therefore is not a substitute for the
main battery disconnect switch.
CAUTION:
Avoid flash damage to electrical
contacts. Turn off the interior lighting
before activating the battery cut-off
switch.
Shore poWer hook-up
The power requirement for the motorhome
is 50 Amp 240 Volt AC single phase. The
motorhome can be operated from 30 Amp 120
Volt AC but with limited capacity. If 50 Amp
shore power service is available, connect the
supplied shore power cord. If less than 50
Amp service is available, electrical adapters
will be required and power consumption must
be reduced to avoid tripping the shore power
breaker. The shore cord is stored in a roadside
rear compartment.
CAUTION:
Avoid flash
damage to the
electrical system
contacts. Before
plugging the
motorhome into
shore power,
starting the
generator or
using the inverter,
make sure all the
appliances are off.
WARNING:
Keep fingers away from metal contacts
of the shore plug end. DO NOT stand
in water when making electrical
connections. Serious electrical shock
and personal injury can occur. To avoid
the risk of an electrical shock, turn the
circuit breaker off for the power supply
outlet before making the shore power
connection.
CAUTION:
DO NOT remove cover from shore
power supply to troubleshoot electricity
to the motorhome. Serious personal
injury or death may occur. If there is
no power to the motorhome, inform the
park manager. It is the park manager’s
responsibility to fix problems with the
shore hook-up power pedestal.
Plugging in the Shore Cord:
The shore power cord is located in a
roadside rear compartment. Unscrew the
deck plate and extend a sufficient amount
of cable through the deck plate to reach
the socket.
Turn off all appliances.
Check the shore power source amperage.
If 50 amp service is not available, install
the proper electrical adapter(s) to the
cord.
Always turn off the shore power breaker
at the power supply before connecting or
disconnecting the shore cord to avoid an
accidental shock or flashing of electrical
contacts.
Align cord end with socket terminals.
Push cord all the way into socket until
the cord blades are not exposed.
After the connection is made, turn the
shore power breaker on. The transfer
switch should make an audible click.
Go inside the motorhome to verify AC
power is available. The microwave
display should be lit.
