IMPORTANT : Do not pile things on top of or
close to the converter . The converter must
have
a free flow of air through and around the
unit .
If air flow is restricted, the
converter
could
over-
heat which could
result in malfunction and
permanent damage
. Do not let the unit get wet,
but do
keep
it as clean as possible to help as-
sure its long life . The converter can be cleaned
with low pressure air (30 PSI maximum) if
necessary .
EXTERNAL POWER
The external utilities compartment located
in the left side of the Motor Home contains the
25-foot power cord used for external power
connections .
To make an external power connection, re-
move the cord from the compartment and plug
it into a suitable power receptacle . All internal
switching will take place automatically . When
disconnecting from an external power
source
the
power
cord should be
plugged
into the motor
generator receptacle
within
the external utilities
compartment . This connects the motor gener-
ator to the Motor Home electrical system . If the
vehicle is not equipped with a motor generator
simply coil the power cord neatly within the
external utilities compartment .
YourMotor Home's external power cord con-
tains two 120-volt circuits, each rated to carry
20 amperes . The electrical connection
to
beused
must be suitable for these requirements .
If
the
receptacle is
designed
to mate with the prongs
on the power cord plug, the electrical connection
can be expected to CARRYRATED LOAD .
It is recommended that the power cord not be
plugged in if the receptacle is not designed for
your plug . In this event you can use your op-
tional motor generator .
CAUTION
If the available power supply is other
than 120/240 volt, 60 cycle rating, or is
not properly grounded,
it
is essential
that no
attempt
be
made to plug in .
Your
Motor
Home's
electrical system is
not designed for such electrical
systems
and connection could result in serious
personal injury or property damage .
