• After storage the furnace may produce a musty smell during the first
couple of cycles.
• Operating the furnace at an altitude above 5,000 feet reduces the BTU
output due to air/fuel ratio.
• The furnace will periodically need to be serviced by a qualified
technician. If the furnace exhibits unusual symptoms or noises, or has
an unusual odor when operating, have the furnace checked or serviced.
• If the blower fails to operate after verifying the batteries are charged and
fuses are good, use a coin or screwdriver to open outside access door.
Make sure the power switch is on and circuit breaker is pushed in.
CAUTION: It is not advisable to use the furnace to heat the
inside of the motorhome during transit.
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 make sure the LP-Gas primary supply valves are
open and the LP-Gas switch is turned on. 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:
1. Hook-up to shore power.
2. Start the generator.
3. Start the main engine to charge the batteries.
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.
