ELECTRICAL FEATURES
WARNING
Remove rings, metal watchbands, and any other metal jewelry before work-
ing around batteries. If any metallic object (tool, jewelry, etc.) contacts the
positive battery terminal or any connection made to that terminal AND also
contacts the negative terminal or any of its connections, a SEVERE ELECTRI-
CAL SHORT will occur which could result in an explosion, fire, and/or per-
sonal injury. Lead-acid batteries contain diluted sulfuric acid which can be
dangerous; avoid direct contact with any battery fluids. Wear eye protection.
120 VOLT (VAC) AC RECEPTACLES
Your Allegro Breeze motorhome is equipped with several 120 VAC recepta-
cles (Figure 9-5) located throughout the interior of the motorhome. ese
120 VAC receptacles are of the “three-prong” variety; the third prong being a
grounding pin which provides adequate grounding to protect one from any
electrical shock.
For these receptacles to work properly, do not use an adapter, cheater, or ex-
tension cord which defeats the function of the grounding pin. For the same
reason, never remove or bend away the ground prong or pin from any three-
prong AC plug so that it would t a two-prong AC receptacle (i.e., an un-
grounded AC receptacle).
Never operate the Allegro Breeze if there is an electrical short present, as an
electrical short may deliver an electrical shock to anyone coming in contact
with the exterior of the unit.
If you should feel even the slightest of electrical shock, immediately discon-
nect the unit from the 120 VAC power source and locate the electrical fault
(i.e., typically, it is a break in the grounding circuit).
Do not reconnect the 120 VAC power until aer that electrical fault is xed—the grounding circuit
must be continuous from the frame to the distribution panel, to the power cord, and to the earth
ground so that electrical-shock protection is realized.
