help prevent the possibility of dead batteries. If an AC source is not available
and the motorhome is not going to be used or is stored more than 48 hours, it
is recommended to turn the battery disconnect switch off.
NOTE: The solar panels will charge the batteries with the discon-
nect switch off.
WARNING: When the frame or other welding is involved for
motorhome repair or modification, the following precautions are
required to protect electronic components in the motorhome chas-
sis:
1. Disconnect the (+) positive and (-) negative battery
connection, and any electronic control ground
wires connected to the frame or chassis.
2. Cover electronic control components and wiring to
protect from hot sparks.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors at the
transmission electronic control unit. Open bed
storage compartment, open engine access door.
The ECU is located above the transmission.
4. Do not connect welding cables to electronic control
components.
5. The welding ground cable should be attached no
more than two feet from the part to be welded.
The chassis battery operates only chassis and engine functions. The chas-
sis battery is a crank type battery, producing the high amperage needed to
start the engine. Engine starters initially require a large amount of current to
crank an engine. Initial starter amperage draw exceeds 1200 amps. The type
of application in which the engine battery is used, differs from the house bat-
tery application. The engine battery state of charge should remain consistent.
Maintenance is still required with an engine battery. Regular electrolyte level
checks and hydrometer readings should be performed. High electrolyte con-
sumption or inconsistent hydrometer cell readings may indicate a charging
system problem. Perform a charging system and current draw check if the
battery is exhibiting abnormal hydrometer readings.
NOTE: Replacement batteries should have the same cold cranking
amp (CCA) rating.
