2.8 ELECTRICAL
1. Use care when working around batteries. The
gases given off when charging are explosive. Keep
sparks and flames away from battery. Wear
protective clothing, eye protection and remove
jewellery. Do not short across terminals.
2. Do not overload electrical circuits. Replace circuit
breakers and fuses with components of similar
capacity. Do not replace with larger capacity
components (breakers or fuses).
3. Be sure motorhome is well grounded to prevent
shocks or electrocution. Do not plug utility power
cord into an outlet that is not grounded. Do not
modify plug to fit a receptacle for which it was not
designed. Do not attach an extension cord to the
utility power cord.
4. Use care when handling electrical appliances,
power cords and other components. Misuse or
abuse of electrical components can lead to shocks
or electrocution. Do not use electrical
components, cords or appliances with bare feet,
wet hands or while standing in water or on wet
ground.
