SECTION 15
CHASSIS
15-2
compartment on the driver side of the coach.
When plugged into the receptacle, the heater is
connected to both the shoreline and the auxiliary
generator, so a separate extension cord is not
needed. The power switch is a standard house-
hold light switch located above the OnePlace
panel.
REMEMBER! Turn the engine heater switch off
after starting the engine. The heater will keep
operating for as long as it is supplied with elec-
tricity. If the switch is left on, the engine heater
will come on each time you hook up the shoreline
cord or start the generator.

Engine Top Cover
The engine top cover is located beneath the
rear bed. This cover is only removed for replace-
ment of engine parts or if a complete view of the
engine is needed for inspection. To do this, re-
move the mattress from the bed and lift the
hinged bed board upward. Support the bed board
with a suitable prop rod while accessing engine.
FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR
Diesel fuel often contains small quantities of
water which can damage the engine if not filtered
out. The fuel/water separator traps this water and
prevents it from reaching the engine. The harmful
water deposits must be drained from the separa-
tor canister during normal periodic service and
maintenance to keep the fuel filtration system
working effectively.
The fuel/water separator is located in the rear
engine compartment.
