WARNING:
WHEN JUMP STARTING, BE EXTREMELY
CAUTIOUS. BATTERIES, UNDER CERTAIN
CONDITIONS DURING JUMP START
PROCEDURES, CAN EXPLODE, SPREADING
BATTERY ACID OVER A WIDE AREA. THIS ACID IS
VERY HARMFUL TO HUMANS AND AUTOMOTIVE
FINISHES. IF YOU OR ANYONE WITH YOU GETS
BATTERY ACID ON THEIR PERSON, FLUSH
EXPOSED SKIN/EYES IMMEDIATELY WITH A
LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER. SEEK A PHYSICIAN
IN MAJOR CASES, AND WHERE THE EYES HAVE
BEEN CONTANIMATED. FLUSH ANY RV
BODYWORK UNIT THAT COMES INTO CONTACT
WITH THE ACID.
EVEN WORKING WITH AN OLDER BATTERY
THAT HAS SOME CORROSION ON THE
TERMINALS (SUCH AS THE BOOSTER
CAR/BATTERIES) CAN GET ENOUGH ACID
PARTICLES ON YOUR HANDS TO CAUSE
PAIN/IRRITATION. BE SURE NOT TO PUT
FINGERS IN EYES, ON FACE OR IN YOUR MOUTH
(AS IN PULLING A GLOVE OFF YOUR HAND WITH
YOUR TEETH), WASH HANDS EXTREMELY WELL
AFTER COMPLETING THE JUMP START.

Electrical
Your GULF STREAM is equipped with two (2) separate
electrical systems that provide your vehicle with power
on the road and in camp.
12-volt DC/110-volt AC
Like all vehicles, it has a 12-volt system that is used for
running the vehicle’s motor and accessories as well as
other added RV equipment that’s designed for 12-volt
operation. This is a direct current (DC) system (12V).
Like your home, the vehicle has a 110-volt alternating
current (AC) system that requires an external source of
110-volt electricity. A shoreline connection (extension
cord) or an optional electrical on-board power
generator or an inverter can provide this power. In
order to use your 110-volt electrical system, your
shoreline (power cord) should be plugged into either a
properly rated external power source or the generator
should be running, or in some cases the inverter
should be turned on. TO CONSERVE BATTERY
POWER, USE OF THE SHORELINE IS
RECOMMENDED WHENEVER POSSIBLE. (FIG. 5)
