PREVENT SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH!
ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC) CAN KILL YOU!
DISCONNECT
ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCES
BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO REPAIR OR REPLACE
ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
Note that normally it is more likely to fi nd a wiring prob-
lem at older facilities usually located off the main wa-
terways where grounding problems exist or where hot
wires/neutrals and even grounds are reversed although
it can happen at any facility. Any of the above situations
may result in your boat shore power system going from
polarized to unpolarized with a potential for a fi re and
personal injury. Know the warning signs such as reverse
polarity indicators, main power inlets or if installed ELCI
breakers tripping. Contact marina personnel immediately
should dock receptacles/plugs trip your on board shore
power system or as explained above the red LED light
shows on the shore power cord when plugged into the
marina plug.
