4. Plug the detachable power cord into the
RV, then into the campground receptacle.
Be sure all the power cord prongs are
properly plugged into the receptacle.
5. Turn ON 120-volt power to the
campground power cord receptacle.
6. Return to your RV and turn ON the load
center main circuit breaker.
7. To help prevent power surges from
damaging the connected loads, please
follow these instructions when hooking up
to the external power source:
The power cord should be unplugged when
the RV is left unattended for any amount of
time. If something would happen to the
electrical system, this may help limit
potential damage.
Ready to leave
When you are ready to leave, reverse the
power cord connection process.
Maintenance
Inspect the power cord for cuts, cracks and
worn insulation. Have the power cord replaced
immediately by your RV dealer if these
conditions are noticed.

ONVERTER
The converter converts 120-volt AC power to
useable 12-volt DC power when the power
cord is connected to an external power source.
The converter also functions as a limited
battery charger when power to run 120-volt
lights and accessories is below the converter
maximum output rating. The converter will
automatically sense the condition of the house
battery and, if it is below “full charge,” will begin
charging. The rate of charge will decrease as
the house battery reaches “full charge,” and
the converter will remain “trickle” charging at a
very low amperage rating.
If your house battery does not charge as
described above, it is possible it has been fully
discharged or is defective. If it is determined to
be defective, contact the battery manufacturer
for further instructions.

WARNING
PLUG INTO 30-AMP SERVICE ONLY
.
0
Do not hook up the 30-amp external
power cord to any receptacle until you
have contacted the campground owner
and/or attendant of the premises to
verify proper polarity and grounding.
Polarity indicators can be purchased in
most electrical and hardware stores.
0
Do not use any cheater plug, adapter or
extension cord to reduce incoming AC
power or break the continuity of the
circuit connected to the grounding pin.
0
Do not connect the power cord into an
outlet that is not grounded, or adapt the
30-amp power cord plug to connect it to
a receptacle for which it is not
designed.
0
Do not
remove the grounding pin to
connect to a non-grounded receptacle.
Removal of the ground pin disables an
important safety feature designed to
prevent shock and electrocution
hazards.
0
Do not connect the power cord to an
extension cord. Use of an improper
extension cord will cause overheating
of the cord as well as potentially
causing premature failure of the AC
equipment.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the
electrical receptacle to ensure that the
receptacle is properly wired and grounded.
Reverse polarity and/or improper
grounding of your RV can cause personal
injury or death.
WARNING
The power cord must be fully extended
when in use and not left coiled in a storage
compartment or on the ground. If the power
cord is left coiled, it may potentially create
enough heat to melt its protective casing.
