GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protects the
bathroom, galley, and patio 120-volt receptacles. This
device is intended to protect you against the hazards
of line to ground electric faults and electrical leak-
age shocks possible when using appliances in damp
areas.
NOTE: The GFCI device does not prevent electri-
cal shock. It does not protect a person who comes
in contact with both the “hot” and “neutral” sides of
the circuit. It does not protect you against electrical
overload.
TEST the GFCI at least once a month while operating
on 120-volt AC power. To test the GFCI:
Push the TEST button. The RESET button should
pop out, indicating that the protected circuit has been
disconnected. If the reset button does not pop out
when the test button is pushed, a loss of ground fault
protection is indicated. Do not use the outlet or other
outlets on the same circuit. Have the trailer electrical
system checked out at an authorized Lance Dealer
Service Center. Do not use the system until the prob-
lem has been corrected. To restore power, push the
RESET button.
NOTE: If the bathroom, galley or patio receptacles
don’t work, check the GFCI. Reset the button if nec-
essary. If the GFCI continues to trip, have the trailer
electrical system checked at an authorized Lance
Dealer Service Center or by a qualified electrician.
GASOLINE OR PROPANE POWERED
GENERATORS
If your trailer is equipped with a generator, you must
have and follow the generator manufacturer’s in-
structions for safety, operating, troubleshooting and
maintenance information.
Carbon monoxide gas is present in the exhaust of all
gasoline and propane engines.
WARNING
Gasoline and propane generators pose a risk
of death from:
• Carbon Monoxide
• Fire and Explosion
• Electrocution
• Do not operate a generator without having
a working carbon monoxide detector.
• Do not refuel a running generator.
• Do not refuel near ignition sources.
Before starting the generator, check fuel and oil
levels. The generator may have to run for two or three
minutes before it allows drawing electricity from it.
Read the generator instruction manual. Never exceed
the capacity of the generator.
Before turning off the generator, remove the electrical
load and let the engine run for two or three minutes to
cool the generator.
To supply 120 volt power to the trailer from the gen-
erator, connect the shore power cord into the 30 amp
receptacle located in the generator compartment.
If equipped with the Automatic Transfer Relay (ATS),
the relay will automatically switch to generator power
when the generator is activated. When the power
cord is connected to shore power, the relay switches
to shoreline power. To operate the trailer from the
onboard generator, simply start the generator. After
about a 20 second delay to allow the generator to
stabilize, the relay will engage, transferring all of the
120-volt AC load to the generator.
