NOTE:
When washing the exterior of the
motorhome, avoid a direct stream of
water into the outside furnace vents.
This can cause damage to the furnace.
If the Furnace Fails to Light
If the furnace fails to light, make sure the
LP-Gas primary supply valve is open. The
furnace will not light if the blower motor is not
spinning to its specified speed. This may be due
to a low house battery charge condition.
To Charge the House Batteries:
Hook-up to shore power.
Start the generator.
Start the main engine to charge the
batteries.


If the blower fails to operate after verifying
the batteries are charged and the fuses are good,
use a screwdriver to open the outside access
door. Push the reset switch to off then to reset.
WARNING:
If you smell gas and the blower motor
is spinning, do not attempt additional
furnace operation as this may result in
an explosion, fire or personal injury.
Contact a qualified technician.
Water heater
The water heater uses two different methods
to heat water: ( 1
) 120 Volt AC, supplied either
by shore power or the on board generator ( 2 )
LP-Gas. The 120 Volt AC function is most
energy efficient when operated from shore
power. The burner for LP-Gas operation is
controlled by an automatic ignition circuit board
powered by 12 Volt DC. Two thermostats control
water temperature, one for 120 Volt AC and the
other for LP-Gas. Thermostat temperature is
preset by the water heater manufacturer and not
adjustable. For ease of winterization, the water
heater is equipped with a tank drain plug and
bypass valve.
NOTE:
Refer to the Water Heater OEM
manual for detailed operating
instructions.
Before Using the Water Heater:
Use water to purge air from the water system
and water heater and if necessary, purge FDA
approved RV antifreeze from the system.
To Purge Air and Pressurize the System:
Turn the water heater bypass valve to
Normal Flow. If necessary install drain
plug. The bypass valve is located at the
back of the water heater. Locate water
heater on the curbside of motorhome
or bedroom closet and open the
compartment next to the water heater.
Inside the compartment is a panel. Open
panel to access back of water heater.
Fill the fresh water tank or hook to city
water.
Turn on the water pump or city water.
