NOTE:
If shore power is less than what is rated for the motorhome (30 amp or 50 amp), electrical adapters
will be required and power consumption must be reduced to avoid tripping the shore power breaker.
CAUTION:
Avoid flash damage to the electrical system contacts. Before plugging the motorhome into shore
power, starting the generator or using the optional inverter all appliances must be off.
WARNING:
Keep fingers away from metal contacts of the shore plug end.
Avoid standing in water when making electrical connections.
Serious electrical shock and personal injury can occur. To
avoid the risk of an electrical shock, turn the circuit breaker
off for the power supply outlet before making the shore power
connection.
Plugging in the Shore Cord:
Located in a roadside rear compartment is the shore power cord.
Extend a sufficient amount of cable through the deck plate to reach
the socket.
Turn all appliances off.
Check the shore power source amperage. If the shore power
amperage does not match the shore cord (30 or 50 Amp), install
the proper adapter on the shore cord.
Always turn
OFF
the shore power breaker at the power supply
before connecting or disconnecting the shore cord. This will
prevent an accidential shock or flashing of electrical contacts.
Align cord end with socket terminals. Push cord all the way into
socket so the cord blades do not show.
After the connection is made, turn the shore power breaker on.
The transfer switch should make an audible click.
After connecting the motorhome to shore power, wait
approximately one minute for the converter to “stabilize” charging
of the batteries before starting air conditioners or other large AC
loads. In the instance shore power service is limited requiring use
of electrical adapters, use caution not to overload the supplied shore
service breaker. Operate appliances and outlets in sequence rather
than all at the same time.
Disconnecting Shore Cord:
Turn off all AC appliances.
Turn off the shore power breaker. This will prevent accidental shock and flashing of electrical contacts
when disconnecting.
Grasp housing of electrical plug. Without touching electrical contacts, work plug out and away from socket.
Straighten and clean cord.
Maintenance:
Kinks may form in the shore power cord when only a short section is frequently used. Routinely extend the
cord full length and straighten the cord on the ground to relieve kinking. Inspect cord ends for fraying or loose
connections. Repair or replace as necessary to retain electrical safety.
