discharged, they will charge at a lower amperage
rate. The rate of charge will decrease as the
batteries reach “full charge”, then will continue
“trickle” charging at a very low amperage rate.
If your battery does not charge as described
above, it is possible the battery is defective.
If the batteries are extremely discharged, the
charger unit will not activate to charge batteries
NOTE:We do not recommend leaving the
shoreline plugged in continuously during
storage periods because the batteries can
lose electrolytic fluids and become
damaged from continuous charging
without periodic use. We recommend
following regular battery inspection and
maintenance, especially in cold weather.
See “Battery Storage & Maintenance” at
the end of this section.
Inverter/Charger Control Panel:
–If Equipped
The inverter/charger has a wall mounted
monitor/control panel that can be programmed
for several charging options. It will also display
warnings for overload conditions or other
operating failure conditions.
See the inverter/charger control panel
instructions in your InfoCase for complete
instructions and charging setup directions.
When the inverter is not being used, it should
be shut off at the control panel. The inverter
could drain the house batteries if the shoreline is
not connected to external power and the Aux.
Battery switch is on.
120-VOLT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The breaker panels protect all 120-volt
components in the motor home from either an
overload on the circuit or a short in the wiring or
component itself. When an overload or short
develops, the breaker will open preventing
damage to the system.
Shut off the equipment (example: roof air
conditioner) and allow a brief cooling period.
Then reset the breaker by moving the switch to
“Off” and back to “On”. If the breaker is
continually tripped and no overload is evident,
have the system checked for a short in the wiring
or the appliances.
The breaker panels are located behind a door
or pull-off panel on a lower cabinet face in the
galley or lounge area or beneath the rear bed.
*Breakers are labeled on panel. Arrangement
may vary according to appliance and equipment
options.
120-VOLT RECEPTACLES
(OUTLETS)
A number of standard household electrical
outlets are provided throughout the coach for
connecting small appliances such as televisions,
radios, toasters, etc.
An exterior outlet is also located on the
outside of the coach near the entrance door or in
a storage compartment on the passenger side of
the coach.
