Shore Power/110 Volt AC System
FIRE, EXPLOSION & SHOCK HAZARD!
•
DO NOT alter shore power connectors and use only compatible connectors.
•
Before connecting or disconnecting the shore power cord to your boat, make sure all break-
ers and switches on the AC master panel are turned OFF.
•
To prevent shock or injury from an accidental dropping of the “hot” cord into the water,
ALWAYS attach the shore power cord to the boat inlet first; then to the dockside connection.
When disconnecting from shore power, disconnect the shore power cord from the dockside
connection first.
•
NEVER leave a shore power cord connected to the dockside connection only.
•
Only use shore power cords approved for marine use. NEVER use ordinary indoor or out-
door extension cords that are not rated for marine use.
DANGER!
!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
Monitor the polarity indicator lights EVERY TIME you connect to shore power.
•
When connecting to shore power and you encounter a reversed polarity light (RED col-
ored), DO NOT energize the main breaker switches. Instead, IMMEDIATELY discon-
nect the shore power cord (ALWAYS from the dockside receptacle first) and notify
marina management.
WARNI NG! !
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
Periodically check the shore power cord(s) for deterioration or damage. Damaged or faulty
cords should NEVER be used since the danger of fire and electrical shock exists.
•
DO NOT pinch shore power cords in doors or hatches, or coil the shore power cord too
tightly since these situations can generate enough heat to result in a fire.
•
If a shore power cord should accidently become immersed in water, THOROUGHLY dry
the blades and contact slots before reusing.
WARNI NG! !
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
NEVER connect dockside power to your boat outside North America unless you have pur-
chased the international electrical conversion option.
•
The simultaneous use of several AC components can result in an overloaded circuit. It may
be necessary to turn Off one or more accessories in order to use another accessory.
•
Use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances whenever possible.
CAUTI ON!
!
NOTI CE
Some dockside installations may be rated less than 30 amps, therefore, you may need to pur-
chase lower amp adapters. Whenever a lower amp adapter is used, however, there will be a
corresponding drop in supplied power from the dockside system.
