WARNING:
Do not use an adapter, cheater or extension cord that will break
the continuity of the grounding circuit connected to the third pin. NEVER
remove the grounding pin to connect a non-grounded, two-prong receptacle. Any
deviation from this will potentially cause a fire from overheating.
GFCI
Each travel trailer has a GFCI receptacle installed. These initials mean “Ground Fault
Current Interrupter.” This special receptacle has been designed to reduce the possible
injury caused by electrical shock.
An example of ground fault current is the current which would flow through a person
who is using or touching an appliance with faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in
contact with an electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
This GFCI receptacle will not protect against short circuits or overloads. The circuit
breaker or fuse in the electrical panel which supplies power to the circuit provides this
protection.
When this GFCI receptacle is tripped, it has interrupted ground fault current caused by
such things as faulty insulation or wet wiring inside some appliance or equipment
connected to the circuit. The faulty equipment should be repaired before is it used again.
This special receptacle should be tested monthly while the travel trailer is being used.
TESTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug a lamp or radio into the receptacle on the face of
the GFCI.
2. Push and release the RESET button.
3. The lamp should light at this time.
4. Press the TEST button.
5. RESET button should pop out indicating “Trip” and
the lamp should go out. (If the GFCI is manufactured
with an indicator light, the light should glow when
the device has tripped.)
6. If the GFCI did not trip, do not use. Call a qualified
electrician to service or replace the receptacle. The
ground fault protection is no longer working and the
GFCI may not be working properly.
7. To restore power after tripping, press in the RESET
button. It must remain in. (If an indicator light is furnished, it will be off.)
