Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
Your unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Interrupter that will stop
the current in the event of a short. If you find that 110v AC power is
missing at any receptacle of the motor home, first check to see if
the GFI button has been tripped. Then check the breaker panel. If
the GFI button has been tripped, or trips repeatedly after being
reset, you may have a short in your circuit. Please have a
professional test and repair as needed.
The GFI receptacles are located near the kitchen sink, the bath sink
and/or the exterior receptacle location.
Battery (Dealer or Owner Supplied)
The travel trailer uses one or more deep cycle 12V batteries on
board (as equipped by dealer or owner). Both are maintained in
the same manner. Check the electrolyte fluid levels on a regular
basis, especially during hot weather. Refill as necessary with either
distilled water or clean tap water in an emergency. Do not allow the
fluid levels in the batteries to fall below the internal battery plates.
Damage to the batteries may result and shorten the life of the
batteries.
When charging the batteries, do not charge at such a fast rate as to
cause spewing of the electrolyte from the cells. However, do
charge the battery with the cell vent caps off.
WARNING: NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME AROUND
BATTERIES. AVOID MAKING ELECTRICAL SPARKS. FUMES
FROM THE BATTERY ARE COMBUSTABLE. KEEP AN EYE
OUT FOR CORROSION ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS.
CORRODED TERMINALS CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF AVAILABLE
POWER AS WELL AS CUT DOWN ON THE EFFICIENCY OF
THE CHARGING/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS COULD LEAD
TO A SITUATION WHERE THE BATTERY ISN’T CHARGED
ENOUGH TO START THE VEHICLE
.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE
PROTECTION AND GLOVES WHEN WORKING WITH
BATTERIES.
If your batteries have problems prior to the end of their warranty
period, consult the a representative of the battery manufacturer.
When it is time to replace the batteries, be sure to replace them
with quality batteries of equal electrical and physical properties.
Contact your nearest dealer for advice in the selection of new
batteries.
