ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Both sets
of
batteries will be kept charged by the chassis
engine alternator and charging system while you are driving.
The DC power converter will charge the coach battery when
plugged into 120-volt
AC
service. The batteries can also be
charged by the generator.
If
the battery needs to be charged
from a different charging source, please follow these safety
guidelines:
» Leaving a charger connected to a battery for an extended
period
of
time can shorten battery life.
» Do not smoke near batteries being charged or which have
been recently charged.
Please note that batteries are being
charged while you drive, and while you are connected to
120-volt AC power through the converter/charger circuit.
» Do not break live circuits at the terminals
of
the battery. Use
care when connecting or disconnecting booster
leads or
cables. Attaching
booster
cables, and poor connections are a
common cause
of
electrical arcs which can cause explosion.
» Check and adjust the electrolyte level before charging. Fill
each cell to the indicator with distilled water.
» Always remove all vent caps before charging the battery.
» Do not charge the battery
at
a rate that causes the electrolyte
to
spew
out.

CHARGING
WARNI G
Remove rings, metal
watchbands,
and
other
metal
jewelry
before
working around a bat-
tery.
Use
caution when
using
metal tools. If a
tool contacts a battery
terminal or metal con-
nected to
it,
a short cir-
cuit
could occur which
could cause personal
injury,
explosion or
fire.
WARNING
Do
not
allow
battery
elec-
trolyte to contact skin,
eyes,
fabrics, or painted
surfaces.
The
electrolyte
is
a sulphuric
acid
solu-
tion which could cause
serious
personal injury
or
property damage.
Wear
eye protection when
working
with
batteries.
WARNING
Never
expose
the
battery
to
open
flame or electric
spark. Chemical action
in
the
battery generates
hydrogen gas which
is
flammable and explo-
sive.
Do
not
allow battery
electrolyte (acid)
to
con-
tact
skin,
eyes,
fabrics,
or
painted surfaces.
