the generator . Be sure the air conditioner circuit
breaker is ON .
Each return air duct is equipped with a filter.
Check these filters at regular intervals for accumu -
lations of dust that could restrict air flow.
For best performance, park the motor home in the
shade and close curtains . Close doors and win-
dows and turn the temperature control knob for
desired coolness . Refer to the air conditioner man-
ufacturer’s instructions for detailed operating and
preventive maintenance requirements . Remember
that air conditioners use a large portion of your
available electric power .
Experience has shown that some RV parks may
experience reduced power (low voltage) on days
with high heat or humidity, commonly referred
to as a “brown out .” This condition may result
in the air conditioner circuit breaker tripping in
your power distribution center . This protects your
air conditioner motor from damage and is neces-
sary during low voltage conditions . This breaker
tripping is sometimes perceived as a fault in your
motor home, but it is a necessary “safety valve .”
televIsIons and dvd players
(If equipped)
All televisions and DVD players are set up to
operate on a 120-volt AC power source . This
source can be from the generator, shore cord or
inverter .
addItIonal 12-volt equIpment
If additional equipment requiring 12-volt power
is installed in the motor home . Obtain the 12-volt
source from a properly fused battery circuit .
Consult an authorized Fleetwood dealer before
adding any additional equipment to your motor
home .
vIdeo equIpment
Video equipment can operate from inverter power

1 . To raise the antenna to operating position,
turn crank toward UP until you feel resis-
tance . Switch the TV power ON .
2 . To rotate antenna, pull down on rotating knob
with both hands until it disengages the ceiling
plate . Turn the antenna for best picture and
sound . Do not rotate the antenna except in the
full UP position .
3. To lower the antenna, first rotate it to align

Note
Your motor home is equipped with a ceiling-ducted
air conditioning system. For most efficient opera -
tion, adjust each vent so that is completely open. If
you change the vent opening to regulate air flow try
not to restrict the vent opening to below 70% open.
Restricting air flow below this opening will affect the
efficiency of the air conditioner.
