Shore Power
FIRE, EXPLOSION & SHOCK HAZARD!
•
DO NOT alter shore power connectors and use only compatible connectors.
•
Before connecting or disconnecting the shore power cord to your boat, make sure all break-
ers and switches on the AC master panel are turned OFF.
•
To prevent shock or injury from an accidental dropping of the “hot” cord into the water,
ALWAYS attach the shore power cord to the boat inlet first; then to the dockside connection.
When disconnecting from shore power, disconnect the shore power cord from the dockside
connection first.
•
NEVER leave a shore power cord connected to the dockside connection only.
•
Only use shore power cords approved for marine use. NEVER use ordinary indoor or out-
door extension cords that are not rated for marine use.
DANGER ! !
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
Monitor the polarity indicator lights EVERY TIME you connect to shore power.
•
If a red reversed polarity light turns On when you are connecting to shore power, DO NOT
energize the main breaker switches.
•
Instead, IMMEDIATELY disconnect the shore power cord (ALWAYS from the dockside
receptacle first) and notify marina management.
WARNI NG!

SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
Periodically check the shore power cord(s) for deterioration or damage.
•
NEVER use damaged or faulty cords since the danger of fire and electrical shock exists.
•
DO NOT pinch shore power cords in doors or hatches, or coil the shore power cord too
tightly since these situations can generate enough heat to result in a fire.
•
If a shore power cord accidently becomes immersed in water, THOROUGHLY dry the
blades and contact slots before reusing.
WARNI NG!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
NEVER connect to dockside power outside of North America unless you have purchased the
international electrical conversion option.
•
The simultaneous use of several AC components can result in an overloaded circuit. It may
be necessary to turn Off one or more accessories in order to use another accessory.
•
Use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances whenever possible.
