ELECTRICAL
An exterior outlet is also located in the rear
storage compartment on the passenger side of the
motorhome.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPTER
Bath, galley, and exterior outlets are
connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter), which is an extremely sensitive
circuit breaker that will help to protect against
severe electrical shock if a ground fault develops.
If such a condition occurs, the GFCI will break
the circuit by turning off the power to the
protected outlets. Should this occur, unplug all
the appliances on that circuit and press the reset
button on the GFCI equipped outlet.
If the GFCI keeps tripping, have the electrical
system checked and repaired, if necessary, before
using again.
ELECTRICAL GENERATOR
Accessing the Generator
Refer to “Front Service Access” in
Section 3 -

.
Automatic Power Transfer Switch
Whenever the Generator is started, an
Automatic Power Transfer System automatically
switches the household electrical system to the
Generator approximately 30 seconds after the
Generator is started. The 30 second delay allows
the Generator to start easily without the burden of
electrical loads.
WARNING
The GFCI will not completely eliminate
the risk of electrical shock. Infants and
small children may still be affected.
• Push to Reset
circuit after
monthly testing

WARNING
Careless handling of the generator and
electrical components can be fatal.
Never touch electrical leads or appliances
when your hands are wet, or when
standing in water or on wet ground.
Do not attempt to repair the generator
yourself. Service should be performed by
a qualified service center.
WARNING
Do not plug the power cord into the
generator receptacle while the generator
is running. Electrical shock can cause
personal injury.
