contact with an electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
The G.F.C.I. breaker 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 the G.F.C.I. 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 breaker should be tested monthly while the camping trailer is being used. See
the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for more instructions.
To prevent accidental electrical shock, insure that the ground pin on the attachment plug
cap is intact to the earth ground through the RV park receptacle. When plugged into a
receptacle with no provision for the third pin, use an adapter with a pigtail that can be
connected to the receptacle box, with the grounding circuit completed through the ground
pin or RV park receptacle box. Any accidental short of a live circuit conductor will trip
the circuit breaker indicating a shorted circuit. You should be certain that the polarity of
the external power is not reversed, in order to avoid harm to appliances and personal
electrical shock. Polarity indicators may be purchased in most electrical and hardware
stores.
TESTING INSTRUCTIONS GFCI
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. The ground fault protection is no longer
working and the GFCI may not be working properly.
7. If the GFCI did not trip, call a qualified electrician. Do not use until an electrician has
serviced this device.
8. To restore power after tripping, press in the RESET button. It must remain in. (If an
indicator light is furnished, it will be off.)
Air Conditioner (Option)
To meet State, National, and RVIA codes as well as support from manufacturer of
camping trailers, you need to have installed a special kit to provide proper operation and
energy for successful enjoyment. To comply with all applicable codes, it must have the
following:
1. 20-amp receptacle with 12 gauge wire.
2. 20-amp power cord to feed air conditioner.
3. Two twist caps.
The weight limit for air conditioners is 110 pounds. Exceeding this weight can damage the
roof and lifter system which will not be covered by your Jayco Limited Warranty.
