Important Safety Instructions

Save these instructions 

General Precautions 

1.

Before using the AutoShore, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on (1) AutoShore control box and (2) transformer.

2.

Do not expose AutoShore to rain, snow or moisture of any type.

3.

Do not disassemble the AutoShore; have only a qualified electrician
perform service or repairs.  Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire. 

4.

To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wiring before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning.  Turning off controls will not reduce this
risk.   Warning:  Switching voltage selector switch to off does not 
completely isolate control wiring.  To do so, disconnect shore cable at
dock and switch main breaker off.

5.

Warning.  

Install transformer in a well-ventilated location.  Do not store

materials (particularly flammable material) on or around transformer.

6.

No terminals or lugs are required for hook-up of the AC wiring.  AC
wiring should be no less than No. 6 (AWG) copper wire rated at least
90 degrees C.

7.

Over current protection for the AC output wiring is provided as an
integral part of this unit.  Over current protection of the AC input wiring
may be also required adjacent to shore inlet. Consult local regulations.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS – Remove jumper between neutral and boat 
ground only if neutral is grounded at a common point in ship’s wiring.
