8.14 Protecting the Heating System
Protect
the
Hurricane
®
Chinook
Heating
System
from
temperature
extremes
and
any
dusty,
dirty,
corrosive
environment.
Protect the Hurricane
®
Chinook Heating System from cold
temperatures and corrosion by using a proper mixture of anti-
freeze and water. Use only a non-toxic propylene glycol based
coolant with additives generally recognized as safe “GRAS” by
the FDA in the Hurricane
®
Chinook Heating System. Read and
follow the anti-freeze manufacturer’s instructions for the type of
anti-freeze and mixture recommended for your application.
Note that any potable water in the Hurricane
®
Chinook will freeze
in cold temperatures and will damage the internal parts
(including the heat exchanger). For winterization, it is
recommended that the potable water system be flushed with
winterizing antifreeze that is safe for use in the potable water
lines. Alternatively, the potable water lines can be blown out with
air. Note that this method is not as reliable as using winterizing
antifreeze.
8.15 General Troubleshooting
Ensure your heating system has both sufficient battery
voltage, proper ground, and correct coolant level. The
Hurricane
®
Chinook will not operate if these are incorrect
(indicated by a lit Voltage LED or Low Water LED on the
Hurricane
®
Chinook Control Panel).
