GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT

INTERRUPTER

Exterior, bath and galley outlets are connected

to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter),

which is an extremely sensitive circuit breaker

that will help to protect against severe electrical

shock if a ground fault develops. If such a condi-

tion occurs, the GFCI will break the circuit by

turning off the power to the protected outlets.

Should this occur, unplug all the appliances on

that circuit and press the reset button on the GFCI

equipped outlet.

If the GFCI keeps tripping, have the electrical

system checked and repaired if necessary before

using again.

The GFCI outlet is located in the bath, bed-

room or dinette area, depending on the floor plan

of the vehicle.

NOTE: In compliance with CSA electrical codes,

the galley appliance outlet in Canadian

equipped coaches is not connected to a

GFCI protected circuit.

AUXILIARY 110-VOLT

GENERATOR

Consult the information provided in your

Owner InfoCase for instructions on operation,

troubleshooting and maintenance.

Whenever the generator is needed, an auto-

matic power transfer system automatically

switches the household electrical system to the

generator 10 seconds after the generator is

started. The ten-second delay allows the genera-

tor to start easily without the burden of electrical

loads.

Starting and Stopping the Generator

The generator switches are located on the dash

and on the monitor panel. The generator starter

circuit does not rely on the automotive battery, so

the switch will operate whether the ignition

switch is on or off.

The GFCI will not completely elimi-

nate electrical shock. Small children

and persons with heart conditions or

other disabilities which make them

especially sensitive to electrical

shock may still be injured by a 110-

volt receptacles even though pro-

tected by a Ground Fault interrupter.

WARNING

Careless handling of the generator

and electrical components can be fa-

tal.

Never touch electrical leads or appli-

ances when your hand are wet, or

when standing in water or on wet

ground.

Do not attempt to repair the generator

yourself. Service should be performed

by an authorized service center.

Do not plug the power cord into the

generator receptacle while the genera-

tor is running.
