AIR DISTRIBUTION – MODE CONTROL
To achieve the maximum comfort in your motorhome, the air must be directed where it is needed. The mode
switch (right of center) gives the driver the ability to select where the air will flow.
MAX A/C Air is drawn from the passenger compartment (Recirculated Air) and discharged
through the dash louvers. These louvers can be adjusted for maximum comfort.
A/C Outside air (Fresh Air) is drawn into the system and discharged through the dash
louvers. These louvers can be adjusted for maximum comfort.
VENT Outside air is drawn into the system and discharged through the dash louvers. For
enhanced passenger comfort, upper-level ventilation air is also discharged through
the defrost opening.
OFF The blower motor does not operate in this mode. The fresh air inlet door closes,
minimizing outside air infiltration into the vehicle.

WINTER OPERATION
The discharge air will heat up faster if the blower is
operated on lower speeds, until the engine is hot.
For windshield de-icing use DEFROST mode.
SUMMER OPERATION Maximum Cooling
Use MAX A/C and HI blower for quick cool down. A
lower blower speed produces cooler air. Close all
windows and vents to hot, humid outside air.
CARE AND SERVICE
Keep the condenser and radiator free of bugs and debris. During periods of little use, operate the A/C
system monthly to keep the compressor lubricated. Periodically inspect belts and hoses for wear and proper
tension.
