nect switch on. This will help prevent the possibility of dead
batteries. If an AC source is not available, and the
motorhome is not going to be used or is stored more than 48
hours, it is recommended to turn the battery disconnect
switch off.
NOTE: The solar panels will charge the bat-
teries with the disconnect switch off.
WARNING: When the frame or other weld-
ing is involved for motorhome repair or
modification the following precautions are
required to protect electronic components in
the motorhome chassis:
1. Disconnect the (+) positive and (-) nega-
tive battery connection and any electron-
ic control ground wires connected to the
frame or chassis.
2. Cover electronic control components and
wiring to protect from hot sparks.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors
at the transmission electronic control
unit. Open bed storage compartment,
open engine access door. The ECU is
located above the transmission.
4. Do not connect welding cables to electron-
ic control components.
5. The welding ground cable should be
attached no more than two feet from the
part to be welded.
The chassis battery operates only chassis and engine functions. The chassis
battery is a crank type battery, producing the high amperage needed to start the
engine. Engine starters initially require a large amount of current to crank an
engine. Initial starter amperage draw exceeds 1200 amps. The type of applica-
tion in which the engine battery is used differs from the house battery applica-
tion. The engine battery state of charge remains consistent. Maintenance is still
required with an engine battery. Regular electrolyte level checks and hydrome-
ter readings should be performed. High electrolyte consumption or inconsistent
hydrometer cell readings may indicate a charging system problem. Perform a
charging system and current draw check if the battery is exhibiting abnormal
hydrometer readings.
NOTE: Replacement batteries should have the same cold
cranking amp (CCA) rating.
