NOTE: The solar panels will charge the batteries with the disconnect
switch off.
WARNING: When the frame or other welding is involved for
motorhome repair or modification, the following precautions are
required to protect electronic components in the motorhome chassis:
1. Disconnect the (+) positive and (-) negative battery connection,
and any electronic control ground wires connected to the frame or
chassis.
2. Cover electronic control components and wiring to protect from
hot sparks.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors at the transmission elec-
tronic control unit. Open bed storage compartment, open engine
access door. The transmission ECU is located above the transmis-
sion.
4. Do not connect welding cables to electronic control components.
5. The welding ground cable should be attached no more than two
feet from the area to be welded.
The battery cut-off switch is located inside and next to the
entry door. This switch controls the 12 Volt DC power to the
domestic fuse panels. When the switch is ON power is supplied to
all interior DC lighting and DC operated appliances. Some appli-
ances will require both DC and AC power to operate, such as, the
roof air conditioner. This switch is helpful when dry camping and
can be used to conserve house battery power. Refrigerator and
inverter operation are unaffected by the operation of this switch.
When turned off, this switch will not stop all parasitic loads and
therefore, is not a substitute for the main battery disconnect
switch.
If 50 amp shore power service is available, all that is necessary is to
connect the motorhome to the 50 amp shore power service using the supplied
shore power cord. The cord is located in the compartment on the driver’s side of
the motorhome. Before hooking up to the park’s shore power, verify that proper
voltage and ground protection are present at the outlets. After hooking up to
shore power, verify proper voltage and ground protection are present in the
motorhome itself. Inexpensive testers are available for this purpose. Always turn
off the power circuit breaker previous to connecting or disconnecting the shore
power cord. This will avoid the risk of electrical shock and momentary contact
flash. After the unit is connected to shore power, wait approximately one minute
for the inverter to “stabilize” charging of the batteries before starting air condi-
tioners or other large AC loads. In many instances 50 amp shore service is not
available. Proper electrical adapters must be used to connect the supplied shore
