The Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System
If the Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System is going to be mounted in
the engine compartment, check for adequate ventilation. When
the engine is running this area could be under a negative pressure.
Make sure the air-intake hose and exhaust pipe have no leaks and
are well fastened to the heater, muffler and thru-hull fitting.
Assembly parts that may cause injury through accidental contact
should be protected.
This is a direct vent system. The combustion air must be drawn
directly from the outside, without coming in contact with air that
can infiltrate the living areas. See section 3.3.
·
It is recommended that a catch pan be placed under the Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System to contain any unexpected leak.
·
Choose a sturdy surface in a location that won’t be unduly
affected by vibration and jarring from rough roads.
·
Ensure that the exhaust tubing can be properly and safely
routed to the outside. The maximum exhaust run for the
system is 12’, including 90 degree bends. See section 3.2.
2.4 What NOT to Do
·
Don’t mount the Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System in the rear of
the coach, underneath the sleeping area. The sound of the
Oasis
®
Chinook Heating System cycling on and off may disturb
light sleepers.
