When this GFCI receptacle is tripped, it has interrupted ground fault current caused by
such things as faulty insulation or wet wiring inside some appliance or equipment
connected to the circuit. The faulty equipment should be repaired before is it used again.

This GFCI receptacle will not protect against short circuits or overloads. The circuit
breaker or fuse in the electrical panel which supplies power to the circuit provides this
protection.

The GFCI receptacle should be tested monthly while the trailer is being used. Any
suspected problems with the GFCI should be checked by an independent, authorized
dealer.

Testing Instructions

1. Plug a 120 volt electrical device into the receptacle on the face of the GFCI.
2. Push and release the RESET button.
3. The 120 volt electrical device should operate at this time.
4. Press the TEST button.
5. The RESET button should pop out indicating it has been “tripped” and the 120 volt

electrical device should go out. (If the GFCI is manufactured with an indicator light,
the light should glow when the GFCI has tripped.)

6. If the GFCI did not trip, do not use the outlet. Call a qualified electrician to service or

replace the receptacle. The ground fault protection is no longer working properly.

7. To restore power after “tripping”, press in the RESET button. It must remain in. (If an

indicator light is furnished, it will be off.)

12-Volt DC System

The 12-volt DC system is composed of numerous items such as a power converter, battery,
fuses, wire, and bulbs, both interior and exterior lighting. Explanation on these items will
follow in this section.

I

WARNING: For the breakaway switch to be operational, an auxiliary
battery needs to be installed. Consult with your independent,
authorized dealer to purchase the battery and have it installed.

Caution: Your camping trailer has many 12-volt DC loads. When combined, they
total more power consumption than is available with the 12-volt DC converter.
Periodic overloads can be handled with the optional auxiliary battery for short
periods of time. It is suggested to conserve your 12-volt DC system at most times.
Prolonged overload may shorten the performance life of the power converter.

POWER CONVERTER

.

NOTE: The power converter is a complicated feature. There are no customer
serviceable parts in or on the converter. If the converter is opened, it will void the
converter warranty. If you have questions or concerns, consult with your
independent, authorized dealer.

A power converter utilizes 120-volt AC power and transforms this energy into 12-volt DC
power, which is used inside of your trailer. 12-volt DC energy supplies power to all interior
