fUSeS
The 12 Volt DC fuses service the interior
house functions, such as lighting, fans and
the monitor panel. A blown fuse is evident by
the broken metal strip located in the center of
the fuse. Replacement fuses should be of the
same amperage. Installing a higher rated fuse
can damage the wiring. Fuse current set points
follow much of the same electrical principle
as the 120 Volt AC breakers. Using 12 Volt
DC as the electromotive force can make it
more susceptible to outside influences, such as
corrosion from weathering or oxidation.
The danger from shocks with this voltage is
minimized, but can still occur. A good example
is when a magnetic field is generated, then
collapses when the power supply is cut. The
result is a discharge that can reach tens of
thousands of volts for a short time period. Care
should be used when working with this voltage
as current values can be quite high, as in the case
of battery cables.
Shorting a battery cable to ground with a
battery at a reasonable state of charge can result
in a fire or serious personal injury from a burn.
BatterIeS - HoUSe
House batteries are designed for use with
12 Volt DC operated lights, appliances and
inverters.
House Battery Types:
Liquid Lead Acid (LLA)
Deep Cycle Batteries:
Deep cycle batteries are a type of Liquid Lead
Acid (LLA) battery. Deep cycle batteries are
best suited for use with 12 Volt operated lights,
appliances and inverter/converters. Deep cycle
batteries are designed to have a majority of their
capacity used before being recharged.
NOTE
Tap water contains minerals which can
alter battery chemistry and ruin the
battery. Use only distilled water when
refilling the LLA battery.
Battery Slide-Out Tray (Optional):
The slide-out battery tray is secured in place by
a locking mechanism at the front of the tray. To
slide the tray out, push in on the two handles and
pull until the tray stops. To secure the battery
tray, push it back in until the tray latches.
Maintenance:
The battery tray slide will occasionally require
lubrication. When performing maintenance to
the batteries, remove old lubricant and dirt from
the battery tray slide with solvent, brake cleaner
or equivalent.
DO NOT
allow any cleaning
solution or battery acid by-products to splatter
onto and damage the painted surfaces. Lubricate
all moving parts of the battery tray slide with
white lithium grease or a spray lubricant
recommended by the manufacturer.
NOTE
Driving without the tray secured can
result in damage.
Note: Fuses may change with options.
