SAFETY & SECURITY
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Batteries
Battery terminals and connectors should be
firmly attached. Battery surfaces should be
free of moisture and dirt.
Where removable cell taps are fitted these
must be screwed firmly home.
When removing a battery always remove the
negative cable first. On re-connection the
negative cable should be connected last.
Switch off all lamps and appliances before
disconnecting the battery. Do not smoke
while working on or near to the battery.
Fuses
Always replace blown fuses with one of a
correct rating.
Overload
Never overload any electrical circuit,
especially the 12-volt socket outlet. The
rating of appliances should be checked
before connection.
Shower Compartment Light
Ensure that water does not ingress into the
light unit.
Charger Unit
Keep the charger unit well ventilated and
never allow material or bags to be in contact
with the unit casing which gets hot when the
unit is operating.
230 Volt Mains Operation
Before connecting to the supply, ensure that
the contacts in both the plug and the socket
are clean and dry and that the hook-up plug
is firmly located and locked into the socket.
The RCD must be easily accessible at all
times.
GENERAL
Before using your Auto-Sleeper, you should
be fully conversant with the following safety
precautions; if you are in any doubt as to the
meaning of any of them you should contact
your supplying Auto-Sleeper dealer. Please
read the following carefully.
Awnings
There is no danger of pollution of an
enclosed awning space by the LPG exhaust
from the refrigerator venting into it.
WARNING: Space heaters may produce
sufficient exhaust gases to pollute the
awning space if it is totally enclosed (from
a general comfort, smell, and hygiene
point of view). In the extreme case, there
could be a build up of carbon dioxide to a
dangerous level.
Note: Motorhome owners are advised to
allow some fresh air circulation into the
awning space when such appliances are in
use.
