Monaco 2002 Diplomat, Service Manual

Page: 125 / 324

The water heater operates under the following conditions:
• There is 120 Volt AC supplied from either
shore power or the generator.
• Both the manual and electronic valve LP tank
valves are open.
• The battery cut-off switch at the entry door is
ON.
• The house batteries are fully charged.
LP-Gas Operations:
• Open and turn on the LP-Gas valves.
• Turn the water heater switch (located on the
hall panel) to the ON position. The water
heater will make an audible "roar" from the
burner when ignited. The small indicator
light will illuminate briefly then go out once the water heater
ignites. The indicator light will glow steady when the ignition
cycle has gone into "lock-out."
NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the water heater on
LP-Gas while the motorhome is in transit.
WARNING: IF YOU SMELL GAS extinguish all open flames
and turn off the main gas supply. Liquid propane is highly
volatile, highly explosive and extremely dangerous.
Explosion, fire, property damage, injury or death can result.
Propane is a "heavy" gas and will lay on the floor and
"hide" in corners. Open all windows and doors. Do not touch
any electrical switches. They may cause a spark that can
ignite. Evacuate the motorhome and shut off the LP valve.
Contact a qualified service center to have the problem cor-
rectly diagnosed and repaired before resuming operation.
The 120 Volt AC Operations:
• Have either shore power or the generator
supplying AC voltage.
• Turn on the water heater switch located
on the hall panel.
• Locate the small ON/OFF switch at the
back of the water heater and switch to ON.
• The heating process occurs at a quicker
rate with both LP-Gas and 120 Volt AC
operations activated.
