SECTION 6 –
ELECTRICAL
6-6
NOTE: Do not leave the shoreline plugged in
during storage. Follow regular battery
inspection and maintenance.
Further precautions are:
•
Check the state of charge periodically to avoid
discharge or sulfating.
To ensure that the battery will always accept
and hold a charge, follow these simple
maintenance practices:
•
Make sure the batteries always remain
securely clamped in the battery tray.
•
Make sure battery cable clamps are tight on
the terminal posts and are free of corrosion.
Chassis Battery
If your motorhome is going to be unoccupied
for two weeks or more, Winnebago Industries
®
recommends disconnecting the chassis battery in
your motorhome to avoid battery discharge.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND
FUSES
All 12-volt circuits and equipment in the
motorhome area of the motorhome are protected
by either a fuse panel or breaker panel. When a
circuit is overloaded or a short develops in any
part of the system, a fuse or breaker will shut
down that circuit. If this happens, turn off all
affected lights or appliances and reset the breaker
or replace the fuse with a new one of equal
amperage rating.
House 12-Volt Fuses
A label on the panel states the amperage rating
and circuit protected for each fuse.
WARNING
California Proposition 65 Warning:
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the
state of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
WARNING
Before removing any battery cables or
battery, make sure all 12-volt equipment
in the motorhome is off and the power
cord has been disconnected. Be sure to
replace the battery terminal boot, if
supplied, back onto the positive terminal
after servicing. Care must be taken to
avoid pinching the cable between any
metal parts. Should the cable be
damaged, a short circuit could result in
personal injury or damage to equipment.
Replace any damaged cables at once.
Always remove jewelry and wear
protective clothing and eye covering
when checking or handling batteries.
WARNING
To prevent wiring damage, it is essential
when replacing the cables on the battery,
or when using a “booster” battery, that the
positive post and the positive cable be
attached and the negative post and
negative cable be attached. The posts are
marked (+) plus and (-) minus.
If a “boost charger” is used while battery
is in the motorhome, disconnect both
battery cables before connecting the
charger to avoid damage to engine
electronic components.
Never attempt to charge or boost a frozen
battery. An explosion can occur resulting
in personal injury.
