After connecting the motorhome to shore power, wait approximately one
minute for the inverter/charger or converter to "stabilize" charging of the bat-
teries before starting air conditioners or other large AC loads. In the instance
50 Amp service is not available, use caution not to overload the supplied
shore service breaker. Operate appliances and outlets in sequence rather than
all at the same time.
Disconnecting the Shore Cord:
• Turn off all AC appliances. This will prevent accidental shock
and flashing of electrical contacts when disconnecting.
• Turn off the shore power breaker.
• Grasp housing of electrical cord. Without touching electrical
contacts, work cord out and away from socket.
• Straighten and clean cord. If equipped with, press the power-
cord switch to retract cord. Assist and guide cord as it retracts.
Electrical Adapters:
There are many different electrical adapters available to suit a variety of
needs. Only UL approved adapters should be used. The most common
adapter is a 50-30 Amp adapter. The type of connector adapts the 50
Amp shore cord to a 30 Amp shore power outlet. Always install the
adapter to the cord prior to making the connection to the outlet.
Another common adapter is a 30 to 20 Amp adapter. This type of connec-
tor adapts the 30 Amp shore cord to a 20 Amp shore power outlet.
CAUTION: If shore power service is limited to 15 or 20
Amps, use of light duty extension cords and electrical
adapters will create a voltage loss through the cord and at
each electrical connection. Line voltage loss and the
resistance at each electrical connection can be a hazardous
combination. Damage to sensitive electronic equipment may
result!
