Operating instructions
43
A battery of not less than 40-50 amperes/hours
capacity is recommended, crocodile clips should never
be used to connect the battery, and terminals should
be shrouded. Always switch off all appliances and lamps
before disconnecting the auxiliary battery.
The battery should be secured to prevent movement
when towing.
Metal objects should not be stored in the battery box.
Where a 12V extension is used between the tow-car and
caravan, this should not exceed 5 metres in length -
minimum cable size 2.5mm to minimise voltage drop.
DIY modications/additions to the wiring systems are
not recommended, always consult your Retailer who will
be pleased to carry out such work.
Do not continuously charge the battery when caravan is
not in use.
Switch off all appliances before disconnecting
battery.
Negative connections should always be
disconnected rst and reconnected last.
Car type battery chargers are not suitable for
charging a leisure battery and may damage it.
When not using Pegasus models always ensure
that the fridge control knob is turned to the
‘off’ position. Failure to do this will result in a
at battery due to 12V power drain from the
fridge circuit relays.

with a 12v external solar panel connection point. This
can be found under the caravan mains inlet inside the
battery box. In addition to the solar panel connection

standing external satellite dish. This connection is also
located in the battery box next to the solar connection.
