Converter
The Power Converter changes 120-volt AC power to usable
12-volt DC power when the shore power cord is connected to
an external power source. A thermal breaker is built-in to the
converter to protect it from overheating.
Overheating is usually caused by the converter operating above
its maximum power output for an extended time period, or with
too little air flow.
• To reduce converter heat, DO NOT run any unnecessary
12-volt lights/motors/appliances, and
• Keep the converter cooling fins and fan
clear of obstructions.
Inspection and maintenance
If the 12-volt power converter is NOT working, or
the auxiliary battery is not being charged:
1. Locate the converter fuse panel on one end
of the converter.
2. Check the reverse polarity fuse or fuses.
The manufacturer’s warranty will be void if the case has been
removed. There are no customer serviceable parts inside.
For further information, Contact your dealer.
GFCI Receptacle
Grounding is your personal protection from electrical shock.
Each RV has a ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) engineered
into the electrical system. This device has been designed to
reduce the possible injury caused by electric shock. The GFCI
will not protect against short circuits or circuit overloads.
• A tripped GFCI receptacle indicates that abnormally high
120-volt current flow (a ground fault) was detected through
the electrical system grounding circuit.
A fault condition can be caused by faulty wire insulation, wet wiring
inside an appliance, or faulty electrical equipment connected to
the circuit, etc. All ground faults must be repaired before use of
the RV.
