Each ignition cycle will have a 15 second purge. If lock out occurs before the main burner lights, turn the switch
to “OFF”, wait five seconds, and turn the switch to “ON” again. This will re-start the ignition cycle. The initial
start-up of the water heater may require several ignition cycles before all of the air is purged from the gas lines.
WARNING
Do not store any combustible materials or liquids near or adjacent to the water heater. Water Heater Storage
When storing your coach for the winter months, the water heater must be drained to prevent damage from
freezing. The first step is to turn off all electrical power and Propane gas going to the water heater. The water
pump must also be turned off. Open both the hot and cold water faucets to drain the lines. Open the drain on the
water heater. Drain the entire water system. When preparing the coach for use after it has been stored, make
certain the water system, including the water heater, has been filled before re-lighting the water heater. Failure to
fill the water heater before lighting may damage the water heater and void the warranty.
Pressure Relief Valve
WARNING
Do not plug the relief valve under any circumstances.
The temperature and pressure relief valve is located on the exterior of the water heater. It is designed to open if
the temperature of the water within the heater reaches 210° F, or if the water pressure in the heater reaches 150
pounds. Recreational vehicle water systems are closed systems, and during the water heating cycle the pressure
build-up in the water system may reach 150 pounds. When this pressure is reached, the pressure relief valve will
open and water will drip from the valve. This dripping will continue until the pressure is reduced to below 150
pounds, and the valve closes. This condition is normal and does not indicate a defective relief valve.
Rear View Monitor System
Installed as a standard feature, the rear view monitor system assists the driver in the backing and parking of the
vehicle. This system consists of a camera mounted on the rear cap and a monitor located on the dash. With the
MODE switch in the “MANU” position, the monitor will be on when the ignition is turned on. With the MODE
Switch in the “AUTO” position, the monitor will display the picture from the camera when the vehicle
transmission is placed in reverse (R). For detailed instructions on this and all procedures regarding the monitor
system, refer to the monitor Operating Instructions in the Owner’ s Information Package supplied with this coach.
Air Horns
Air horns may have been installed on this coach as a standard feature. These air horns are in addition to the horn
installed on the chassis. A switch located on the dash allows you to choose either the chassis horn or the air horn.
To operate either horn, press the center of the steering wheel.
Freezer (Optional)
The installation of a 100 pound freezer in an exterior storage compartment is an optional feature on this coach.
This freezer operates on 12 volt and 120 volt electrical power. The freezer is on slides to move easily in for
storage while traveling or out for pre-travel packing or campsite unloading. For detailed instructions on the
operation and maintenance of this freezer, please consult the freezer manufacturer owner’ s manual in the Owner’ s
Information Package provided with this coach.
