Troubleshooting:
Check the burner tube for obstructions
if the water heater fails to light. Insects
may make nests in the burner tube. It is
recommended to clean the burner tube
with a brush and not compressed air.
Compressed air may not fully remove
the obstruction.
If the indicator light on the switch does
not light and the water heater does not
light, ensure interior house power is on
or check for a blown fuse in the house
distribution panel.
If the water heater fails to operate after
checking the fuses, the high-temperature
safety limit switch may be tripped. Have
a qualified technician inspect the water
heater.
HyDro-Hot (optIonal)
The Hydro-Hot appliance is a water heater
and furnace in one. A 50,000 BTU diesel fired
burner and a 1650 Watt AC element work to
heat a 50/50 solution of Propylene Glycol
antifreeze and water to approximately 200º F.
The heated antifreeze solution circulates through
heat exchangers located within the motorhome
to provide interior heat. Potable water is heated
by the Hydro-Hot for domestic use. The Hydro-
Hot can also preheat the engine, making it easier
to start on cold mornings.
NOTE:
The Hydro-Hot antifreeze is propylene
glycol based boiler antifreeze. DO NOT
mix antifreeze types.

NOTE:
The Hydro-Hot must be turned on
before using any heat feature.
Diesel Burner:
The Hydro-Hot will consume approximately
½ gallon of diesel fuel for each hour of
continuous burner operation (about one or two
gallons a day). The diesel burner is rated at 12
Volt DC/65 watts. Circulating pumps are rated
at 12 Volt DC/12 Watts each. The Hydro-Hot
has a fast recovery rate when operating on
diesel. To heat with the diesel burner, turn the
Diesel switch to the ON position. The switch
will illuminate when the Hydro-Hot is ON . The
burner will have to operate for 20 to 30 minutes
before maximum heat is available for interior
heating or hot water.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate the diesel burner if the
motorhome is located inside a building.
Carbon Monoxide can accumulate and
cause asphyxiation.
Electric Heat Element:
The electric element works well when
plugged into 50 Amp service. When plugging
into less than 50 Amp service, exercise care
not to overload the electric service provided.
The rate of recovery of the electric element
is slower than the diesel burner. Allow two to
three hours for the Hydro-Hot to reach operating
temperature when operating from the electric
element.
Interior Heat Exchangers:
The heat exchangers are small radiators
with 12 Volt DC blower motors. Current
consumption is approximately ½ Amp per large
heat exchanger. The small heat exchanger
used in the private bath and the holding tank
bay is ¼ Amp.
Engine Preheat (Optional):
The Hydro-Hot system has an engine preheat
feature to aid engine starting in cold weather.
Inside the Hydro-Hot is an engine coolant loop
and pump that will circulate heated coolant
through the engine.
To Use Engine Preheat:
Turn on the Diesel switch at the galley
and allow the system to warm up.
Turn on the Engine Preheat switch.
The time required to preheat the engine
varies with ambient temperature. Allow
two or three hours of engine pre-heat
time.
