• The output of the alternator range is 13.6 to 15.4 vdc. Connect a volt-
meter to the (B+) terminal of the alternator and chassis ground. Idle the
engine up to 1200 rpm.
• Check all wiring for burnt or loose connections. Repair as needed.
• Check all grounds and connections to ensure they are clean and tight.
• Inspect the alternator for damage. A broken fan blade can damage an
alternator or make it out of balance.
• Check belt, pulley and fan for wear. Replace as needed.
• Never attempt to disconnect the battery or battery wire from the alterna-
tor with the engine running. This can cause damage to the alternator or
the regulator.
• The pulley for the alternator should be torqued to 80 foot pounds.
Remember the alternator is not a battery charger. It is designed to main-
tain the proper operating voltage level for the motorhome. A battery with a
low charge, or a dead battery, may cause damage to the alternator.
Your motorhome was not designed for extended use in below
freezing (32º F/Oº C) weather. However, you may not experience any
problems as long as the temperature doesn’t fall too low. Interior
water lines, fixtures, water storage tank and pumps are normally pro-
tected from moderate freezing temperatures as long as the Aqua Hot
operates. Exposed drains may freeze quickly. If you are in doubt what
temperatures your motorhome will tolerate, winterize with potable
antifreeze.
Your hydraulic fans and power steering reservoir are filled with
Dexron III.
If your motorhome uses a gas furnace it will have one two inch
hose directed on top of fresh water tank and will maintain some heat
into bay of your motorhome. If for some reason you find yourself
using your motorhome in temperatures below 32º then more furnace
ducts and insulation may need to be added.
If your motorhome comes with an aqua hot unit you will have a separate
thermostat in bay and a separate heat exchanger for bay heat. Again depend-
ing on use it may need to have the temperature set different.
Never try to charge a frozen battery. Battery will need to be thawed out
and charged at a slow rate and each cell checked with a hydrometer.
NOTE: Before operating your motorhome in sub zero temperatures you
may want to consider changing your hydraulic fluid to pennzoil awx
arctic blue.
Some Points to Ponder
