The 120 Volt system is protected by circuit breakers which automatically shut the circuit off if the
circuit load is too heavy, or a short circuit occurs. If a circuit breaker has been tripped, do not reset
the breaker until the cause of the problem is identified and corrected.
The generator also has one or two AC circuit breakers, and a DC fuse on the generator control
panel. If an interruption in generator operations occurs, check to see if any of these have been
tripped. Consult the manuals provided with the generator before attempting maintenance on the
generator.
NOTE:
Some electrical appliances may have their own circuit breakers. If there is an interruption
in electrical service of an appliance, consult the manual for that appliance to determine what action
to take.
A 12 Volt DC distribution panel is located next to the l20 Volt circuit breakers. The panel contains
circuits with replaceable fuses for protection of recreation vehicle 12 Volt lines. If any line is loaded
beyond the capacity of its fuse, the fuse will ‘"blow". A portion of the 12 Volt load on the line must
be turned off to reduce the total load on the line to a level below the capacity of the fuse. Replace
the fuse with the same size fuse. DO NOT replace with a larger fuse than indicated.
If this reduction of load on the line does not stop the “blowing” of the replaceable fuses, there may
be a "short" somewhere along the 12 Volt line, or at a non-fused 12 Volt component on the line.
Check the 12 Volt line and any components along the line. Locate the “short” and take necessary
steps to repair it. If you cannot locate the problem, have a qualified electrician check it out.
It is a good idea to keep additional fuses on hand in the recreation vehicle. Replacement fuses are
available at filling stations, hardware stores, or automotive supply stores. Remember that the
replacement fuse must be the same amperage rating as the original.
Your recreation vehicle chassis is equipped with an automotive 12 Volt fuse panel located below
the dash near the steering column and/or under the hood. You should refer to the chassis owner’s
manual for details on these fuses.
The Class A recreation vehicle also has a 12 Volt fuse panel, electrical distribution box, located on
the firewall under the hood. These fuses protect the automotive features which are installed by
Four Winds International. There is a complete breakdown on the various fuses printed on the
backside of this fuse panel cover.
