the furnace under this condition could lead to serious insufficient
operation. If soot is observed on the vent, immediately shut the
furnace down and contact a qualified service agency.
2. WATER HEATER
Since this appliance has burner and pilot assemblies located in
an exterior chamber, they are subject to insects and moisture con-
tacts. Spiders especially enjoy propane smell and may build a web
across orifices of pilot assembly and in main burner tube. This
causes back flashes and sooty conditions of exterior wall and vent
assembly.
Should this occur, you must shut system down and clean out
any obstructions before continuing to operate.
Also inspect the screen on the door. It must be free of any ob-
struction including secondary screens. Any such obstructions will
cause improper air flow to both intake and exhaust channels.
Twice per year inspect the grommet around propane copper line
entry through the heater jacket as it must be sealed to prevent
fumes from carbon monoxide and potential propane leakage to enter
coach.
Once per year inspect all
wire connections for damage,
frayed or looseness. Termi-
nals which are not tight cause
heat with potential to melt the
wires.
This print shows the cor-
rect and incorrect flames in the
burner tube. Adjustments may
be required.
The anode rod serves two
purposes, 1) a drain plug to
release water from the tank to
winterize, and 2) the element
rod absorbs impurities and contaminates which may be in the water
which could cause damage to the tank. This rod will “self-destruct”
as it does its job and will need to be replaced. It is normal wear.
The mineral content of your water will determine the life of the rod.

For your safety, all repairs should be performed by your dealer or a
