Position of the battery circuit breaker
Thebatterycircuitbreakerislocateddirectlybythepassenger
seat.
Acircuitbreakerhasbeeninstalledtoprotectthemodular
battery from being exhaustively discharged when the motor
homeisnotbeingused.Whentheswitchisopened,themo-
dularbatteryiscompleteddisconnectedfromthe12Vmains.
"O" position = disconnected from 12V mains.
Thebatterycircuitbreakermustbeon when using the
vehicle home and whilst driving.
Whenthecircuitbreakerisopen,theelectricalinput
stage will not engage automatically.
Ifthebatterycircuitbreakerhasbeenswitchedonfora
longerperiodoftime,youmayloseyourcustomisedradio
and/orsatnavdevicesettings.Thesesettingsmustthen
be entered again.
The battery charger is directly connected to the ancillary bat-
tery so that the ancillary and starter batteries can be charged
evenifthebatterycircuitbreakerisswitchedon.
Tokeepthebatterieschargedevenwhennotinuse,itis
mandatory that the vehicle be connected to a 230V mains
connectionevery6weeks.Rechargingshouldbecarriedout
for at least 24 hours.
