Airstream installs a ground fault circuit interrupter to protect several outlets on the

trailer.

When properly installed, the GFCI circuit breaker provides reliable overload and short

circuit protection PLUS protection from Ground Faults that might result from contact

with a “HOT”’ load wire and ground.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The GFCI circuit breaker will NOT reduce shock hazard if contact

is made between a “HOT” load wire and a neutral wire or 2 “HOT” load wires.

Each GFCI circuit breaker is calibrated to trip with a ground current of 5 milliamperes

or more. Since most persons can feel as little as 2 milliamperes, a distinct shock may

be felt if the need for protection exists. However, the shock should be of such short

duration that the effects would be reduced to less than the normally dangerous level.

However, persons with acute heart problems or other conditions that can make a

person particularly susceptible to electric shock may still be seriously injured.

While the GFCI circuit

breaker affords a high

degree of protection,

there is no substitute

for the knowledge

that electricity can be

dangerous when care-

lessly handled or used

without reasonable

caution.

The breaker panel in your trailer has a label

installed to designate circuit specific to the

trailer.
