NOTE:
During initial firing of this furnace, a burn-off of excess paint and
oils remaining from the manufacturing process may cause "smoking" for
five to ten minutes. Your selling dealer may have already performed this
function.
Warm air will be discharged through heat ducts or front grill on smaller
units. Every furnace must have an open and uncovered return air space.
Be sure area in front of grill or screen is not blocked or covered by any
object.
External Vents
Always be sure these vents are clear of any objects like screens, duct
tape, etc.
Propane Odor
Should you smell propane vapor in your recreational vehicle, follow
guidelines on page 55.
Propane pressure, as defined in Chapter Four - Systems, is extremely
important. A dial gauge or U-tube manometer is required to perform tests
and make adjustments. Pressure must be set at 11 inches WC (water
column) plus or minus 1/2 inch. Incorrect gas pressure can cause any
appliance to operate inconsistently and cause poor combustion. Only
qualified technicians with proper equipment should make any mechanical
adjustments.
Voltage must be between 10.5-Volts to 13.5-Volts at the furnace during
operation. Below 10.5-Volts the furnace will not operate, as there is not
enough air speed to keep sail switch open. Both high and low voltage
places excessive wear on the motor and brushes.
Any mechanical adjustments, such as electrode adjustments, should be
performed by a qualified service technician.
Do not use propane cooking appliances for comfort heating.
It can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can lead to
death or serious injury. Propane cooking appliance need
fresh air for safe operation. Before operating, open vents or
windows slightly or turn on exhaust fan prior to using
cooking appliance. Propane flames consume oxygen, which
should be replaced to ensure proper combustion. Improper
use can result in death or serious injury.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
