Shore Power- 120V/60Hz AC System (If Equipped)
FIRE, EXPLOSION & SHOCK HAZARD!
• DO NOT alter shore power connectors and use only compatible connectors.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the shore power cord to your boat, make sure all
breakers and switches on the AC master panel are turned Off.
• To prevent shock or injury from an accidental dropping of the “hot” cord into the water,
ALWAYS attach the shore power cord to the boat inlet first; then to the dockside connection.
When disconnecting from shore power, disconnect the shore power cord from the dockside
connection first.
• NEVER leave a shore power cord connected to the dockside connection only.
• Only use shore power cords approved for marine use. NEVER use ordinary indoor or
outdoor extension cords that are not rated for marine use.
DANGER!
!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Monitor the polarity indicator lights EVERY TIME you connect to shore power.
• When connecting to shore power; if a reversed polarity light (RED colored) goes On,
DO NOT energize the main breaker switches. Instead, IMMEDIATELY disconnect the shore
power cord (ALWAYS from the dockside receptacle first) and notify marina management.
WARNING!
!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Periodically check the shore power cord(s) for deterioration or damage. NEVER use
damaged or faulty cords since the danger of fire and electrical shock exists.
• DO NOT pinch shore power cords in doors or hatches, or coil the shore power cord too
tightly since these situations can generate enough heat to result in a fire.
• If a shore power cord accidently becomes immersed in water, THOROUGHLY dry the
blades and contact slots before reusing.
WARNING!
!
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• NEVER connect dockside power to your boat outside North America unless you have
purchased the international electrical conversion device.
• The simultaneous use of several AC components can result in an overloaded circuit.
It may be necessary to turn Off one or more accessories in order to use another accessory.
• Use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances whenever possible.
