incoming AC power or break the continuity of the circuit connected to
the grounding pin.
 Do not connect the power cord into an outlet that is not grounded, or
adapt the power cord plug to connect it to a receptacle for which it is
not designed.
 Do not remove the grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded
receptacle. Removal of the ground pin disables an important safety
feature designed to prevent shock and electrocution hazards.
 Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord. Use of an improper
extension cord will cause overheating of the cord as well as potentially
causing premature failure of the AC equipment.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the electrical receptacle to ensure
that the receptacle is properly wired and grounded. Reverse polarity and/or
improper grounding of your RV can cause personal injury or death.

calculated by dividing appliance wattage consumed (normally listed on the appliance) by
nominal design voltage (120 for a 120-volt appliance). For example: 1200 watts divided by
120-volts equals 10 amps.
Only connect the shore power cord to RV 50 amp 120/240 volt electrical power
receptacles.
120-VOLT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The 120-volt AC circuit breakers located inside the load center protect all 120-volt wiring
and components in the recreation vehicle from circuit overloads and short circuits. Should a
circuit overload or short circuit occur the circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit will

If a circuit breaker trips, shut “off” the appliance on that circuit (i.e., power converter etc.)
and allow the circuit breaker to cool down for a brief period of time. After the cooling down
period, reset the circuit breaker by moving its lever “off” and then back to the “on” position.
If the circuit breaker re-trips or frequently trips, contact your dealer to have the electrical
problem diagnosed and repaired.
