VOLT AC SYSTEM
Your RV is equipped with a 50 amp electrical system.
• The 50 amp 120 volt 60hz AC electrical system is designed to operate on two (2) legs of 120-volt power at a max-
imum current flow of 50 amperes per leg.
Power to your 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system (30 amp or 50 amp) can be supplied by the 120-volt 60hz utilities
found at RV campgrounds or by a generator. A campground's electrical service may occasionally experience high or
low voltage.
• Exposure to voltages higher or lower than 120-volts will damage or shorten the service life of the electrical sys-
tem and appliances.
The following electrical components (if so equipped) will operate ONLY when your RV is connected to shore power:
120-volt to 12-volt power converter, air conditioner, 120-volt refrigerator, microwave oven, television(s), firepace, and
other appliances that plug into convenience electrical receptacles.
For recommendations on power-surge protection, Consult your dealer.

VOLT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The 120-volt AC circuit breakers are located in the main load center. They protect all of the 120-volt wiring and com-
ponents. Each circuit is identified on a abel inside the load center.
• An overload or short circuit will cause the breaker to trip, stopping the flow of electricity for the affected circuit.
• If a circuit breaker trips, turn OFF the appliance on that circuit. Allow some time for the circuit breaker to cool.
• To RESET the circuit breaker, flip the switch to the OFF position, then flip it back to the ON position.
