If your battery does not charge as described
above, it is possible the battery is defective.
If the batteries are extremely discharged, the
charger unit will not activate to charge batteries
NOTE:We do not recommend leaving the
shoreline plugged in continuously during
storage periods because the batteries
can lose electrolytic fluids and become
damaged from continuous charging
without periodic use. We recommend
following regular battery inspection and
maintenance, especially in cold weather.
See “Battery Storage & Maintenance” at
the end of this section.
Inverter/Charger Control Panel:
–If Equipped
The inverter/charger has a wall mounted
monitor/control panel that can be programmed
for several charging options. It will also display
warnings for overload conditions or other
operating failure conditions.
See the inverter/charger control panel
instructions in your InfoCase for complete
instructions and charging setup directions.
When the inverter is not being used, it should
be shut off at the control panel. The inverter
could drain the house batteries if the shoreline is
not connected to external power and the Aux.
Battery switch is on.
NOTE: Switch the refrigerator to GAS mode
anytime you are running it with the
shoreline unplugged to avoid
discharging house batteries.
The refrigerator draws its electrical
current through the inverter and not
directly from the shoreline. If the
refrigerator is in ELECTRIC or AUTO
mode, it will continue to draw from
house batteries through the inverter
when the shoreline is unplugged unless
the inverter is turned OFF.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS – HOUSE
120-VOLT AC
The breaker panels protect all 120-volt
components in the motor home from either an
overload on the circuit or a short in the wiring or
component itself. When an overload or short
develops, the breaker will open preventing
damage to the system.
Shut off the equipment (example: roof air
conditioner) and allow a brief cooling period.
Then reset the breaker by moving the switch to
“Off” and back to “On”. If the breaker is
continually tripped and no overload is evident,
have the system checked for a short in the wiring
or the appliances.
The breaker panels are located behind a door
or pull-off panel on a lower cabinet face in the
galley or lounge area or beneath the rear bed.
*Breakers are labeled on panel. Arrangement
may vary according to appliance and equipment
options.
