INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installing the WF-8900-AD-REP Kit

TOOLS NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY

•  Safety Glasses
•  Large and Small Straight Blade Screwdriver
•  #2 Phillips Screwdriver
•  #2 Square Drive Screwdriver
• Pliers
•  1/4” Nutdriver

STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION

Before beginning installation, Make sure no AC power is coming into the RV from either the 
Shore Power cord or an on-board generator. Remove and set aside the Reverse Polarity Fuses 
located on the fuse board to disconnect the converter section from the rest of the RV’s DC power.

In order to install the WF-8900-AD-REP Kit, you must first remove the existing 
converter section in your power center. This kit can be used on several different products. Your 
power center may differ slightly in the removal process.

REMOVING THE ORIGINAL CONVERTER SECTION

Removal of the original power center is divided into 3 segments:
•  Removing the AC (110 volt) side of the converter
•  Removing the DC (12 volt) side of the converter
•  Removing the converter MBA (Main Board Assembly)
