5. To help prevent power surges from damaging the connected loads, please follow these instructions when hook-
ing up to the external power source:
a. Unplug the shore power cord when the RV is left unattended. This may help limit potential damage in the
event of a power surge.
b. Use care to prevent damaging the connection pins when connecting or disconnecting the power cord.
c. Reverse the Connecting the power cord steps (1-5) listed above, when you are ready to leave.
6. ALWAYS disconnect the power cord from the outlet by the plug; NEVER disconnect the plug by pulling the cord.
Power Cord Maintenance
Frequently inspect the power cord for cuts, cracks and worn insulation. Replace it immediately if any of these symp-
toms are found.
1 2 0 - VO LT AC S Y S T E M
Your RV is equipped with a
50 amp
electrical system.
•
The
50 amp
120 volt 60hz AC electrical system is designed to operate on two (2) legs of 120-volt power at a max-
imum current flow of 50 amperes per leg.
Power to your 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system (30 amp or 50 amp) can be supplied by the 120-volt 60hz utilities
found at RV campgrounds or by a generator. A campground's electrical service may occasionally experience high or
low voltage.
•
Exposure to voltages higher or lower than 120-volts will damage or shorten the service life of the electrical sys-
tem and appliances.
The following electrical components (if so equipped) will operate ONLY when your RV is connected to shore power:
120-volt to 12-volt power converter, air conditioner, 120-volt refrigerator, microwave oven, television(s), fireplace, and
other appliances that plug into convenience electrical receptacles.
For recommendations on power-surge protection, Consult your dealer.

The 120-volt AC circuit breakers are located in the main load center. They protect all of the 120-volt wiring and com-
ponents. Each circuit is identified on a label inside the load center.
•
An overload or short circuit will cause the breaker to trip, stopping the flow of electricity for the affected circuit.
•
If a circuit breaker trips, turn OFF the appliance on that circuit. Allow some time for the circuit breaker to cool.
•
To RESET the circuit breaker
, flip the switch to the OFF position, then flip it back to the ON position.
