WARNING
The GFCI circuit breaker will NOT reduce shock
hazard if contact is made between a HOT load wire
and a neutral wire or 2 HOT load wires.
Each GFCI circuit breaker is calibrated to trip with a
ground current of 5 milliamperes or more. Since most
persons can feel as little as 2 milliamperes, a distinct
shock may be felt if the need for protection exists.
However, the shock should be of such short duration
that the effects would be reduced to less than the
normally dangerous level. However, persons with acute
heart problems or other conditions that can make a
person particularly susceptible to electric shock may
still be seriously injured.
While the GFCI circuit breaker affords a high degree of
protection, there is no substitute for the knowledge that
electricity can be dangerous when carelessly handled
or used without reasonable caution.
WARNING
The GFCI circuit breaker provides protection only
to the circuit to which it is connected. It does NOT
provide protection to any other circuit.
GFCI Breaker Test

Push To
Test
GFCI(s) are proven lifesavers, however, consumers
need to take a few minutes each month to perform this
simple test. By taking action, you can help protect your
family from the risk of electric shock.
1. With handle A in “ON” position, press PUSH TO
TEST button B.
2. Handle A should move to TRIP position, indicating
that GFCI breaker has opened the circuit.
3. To restore power move handle A to “OFF” and then
to “ON“
NOTE
All GFCI breakers implement an auto self-test
function, however, Airstream recommends a
manual test be conducted every month.
carded through the 120-volt city power flexible cord to
the 120-volt distribution panel, and then is distributed
to each appliance or receptacle. Exterior outlets for
120-volts are located on the curbside exterior wall
between the wheels and above the wheel well.
All wire, components, and wiring methods conform to
federal and state requirements.
Converter
The converter system is a transformer designed to
maintain constant output voltages regardless of the
variances that occur in city power systems. The design
eliminates the need for complex electronic sensing
systems to charge the batteries, minimizing the
possibility of failures and greatly increasing its overall
reliability.
In some older parks and other locations where three
pronged outlets are not available, certain precautions
to ensure proper grounding and polarity must be taken.
These precautions are listed below:
1. Attach the three-pronged plug to a two-pronged
adapter. The third conductor line of this adapter
has a short wire lead, that must be grounded.
2. For proper grounding, connect the short ground
lead to a grounded outlet box or to a cold water
pipe. When no water pipe is available, drive a
metal rod two feet into the ground and attach the
ground lug to it, thus, providing the unit with proper
grounding.
NOTE
When the three-pronged plug can be used,
there will be no problems with proper polarity or
grounding with a properly wired shoreline outlet.
NOTE
When operating with city power, make very certain
that the service is 120-volt and not 240-volt.
To operate self-contained, simply disconnect the power
supply cable.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
Most states require trailers with exterior 120-volt
receptacles and receptacles close to a water sources,
such as a faucet, to have a ground fault-circuit
interrupter. When properly installed, the GFCI circuit
breaker provides reliable overload and short-circuit
protection, plus protection from ground faults that might
result from contact with a HOT load wire and ground.
