Always wear splash proof safety glasses when working with batteries.
The converter also operates as a battery charger when it is connected to a 120V power source.
If the battery is below its full charge, the converter charger will begin operation at a rate that reflects
the level of discharge. When the battery is again fully charged, the converter charger drops its
charging level back to a maintenance level to keep the battery fully charged.
If for any reason you charge a battery with a source outside the recreation vehicle, make sure to
follow the rules of battery maintenance and safety outlined in this section. Also observe these
additional safety precautions related to battery charging;
1. Disconnect the battery from the recreation vehicle.
2. Check electrolyte before charging. Be sure each cell is properly filled with distilled water.
3. Make sure to use care when connecting and disconnecting the cables from chargers.
A poor connection can cause an electrical arc, which can result in an explosion.
4. Remove the battery vent caps before charging, and make sure that the electrolyte does
not splash out as a result of charging too quickly.
5. Check literature supplied by battery manufacturer, and follow warnings or cautions
outlined.
The converter is used to switch 120V electricity from an external supply, or from the generator, to
12 Volt electricity to power interior lights and 12 Volt accessories. The converter requires no main-
tenance under normal circumstances.
If the converter does not have a 120V supply to convert to 12 Volt, it automatically switches the
batteries into the electrical circuit to power 12 Volt functions. When reconnected to a 120V supply,
it will again operate from this power source.
The converter will run warm and this is normal. If, however, it gets too hot, it will turn itself off.
After it cools down, it will come back on. In most cases, when this happens it is because
something has been put around or too near the converter preventing it from receiving adequate
ventilation. Make sure not to put anything near the converter that could obstruct ventilation.
A slight hum during operation is also normal for the converter, if you do not have 12 Volt power and
no hum, check to see if 120 volt power to the converter has been interrupted.
