Appliances and Equipment - continued

If heavy rain is predicted, or whenever you leave the awning unattended, it is best to 
close the awning.  Damage to the awning or unit due to weather is not covered under the 
Outdoors RV Manufacturing Limited Warranty or the awning manufacturer warranty.

▼

 Warning           

Do not attempt any repairs to the awning.  The awning roller tube is under extreme spring 
tension.  Repairs should only be performed by an authorized dealer / repair center.

Cable Hook-Up

To utilize the cable access, locate the exterior hookup on the side of the trailer.  Attach cable to 
access hook-up and trailer hook-up.  Finally, make sure the antenna power booster is set on 
"cable" and not "antenna".

Converter: See Electrical Section

Fan-Tastic Vent (Optional)

The FanTastic Vent runs on 12V.  Dependent upon the model, operational control may be by a 
thermostat like control switch or by controls directly mounted to the vent.  See information 
included in the unit packet for operating instructions concerning the installed model.  When using
the FanTastic Vent, close all vents and slightly open the windows on the shaded side of the
trailer.  The direction of the air flow is determined by which window(s) are opened.  Please note that 
the dome of the event must be opened at least three inches for the motor to operate.  A safety switch
will prevent operation if the dome is closed or open less then three inches.

Furnace

The furnace installed is a LP gas appliance.  Carefully read the manufacturer's manual for complete 
operational and safety instructions, provided in the unit packet, prior to using the furnace.

▲

 Warning

Failure to read the furnace user's information manual and follow instructions could cause
a fire or explosion, causing property damage, serious injuries or loss of life.

The furnace utilizes a sealed combustion system, which means the combustion chamber is 
completely sealed from the inner atmosphere of your trailer.  Combustion air is drawn from the
outside and combustion products are expelled outside through a vent.

New furnaces sometimes emit smoke and an odor during the first 5 - 10 minutes of initial use due
to paint burning off the heating chamber.  Do not mistake this for a malfunctioning furnace.  Opening
the windows and doors prior to first lighting will help vent any smoke or odor.
