■ 100-WATT ROOF TOP SOLAR CHARGING
SYSTEM (SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER
ZAMP ZS-30A)
The solar panels require very little maintenance to function properly�
The inspection and cleaning requirements are based on the
environment and parking location� For the solar panels to perform
efficiently they need periodic light cleaning to make sure that dirt,
water stains, leaves and other debris do not reduce or prevent their
direct access to sunlight�
To properly maintain your solar panels, follow these procedures:
STEP 1
Use a commercially available car washing solution to
wash the vehicle exterior to remove any debris from
the roof and the solar panels� Carefully loosen any
stubborn dirt and debris with a soft lint free cloth,
being careful not to damage the glass shell on the
solar panel(s);
STEP 2
Dry the vehicle roof and the solar panel(s) thoroughly;
and,
STEP 3
In a shaded area out of direct sunlight, apply a coating
of high-quality carnuba car wax to the glass outer layer
of each solar panel. Buff them to a shiny finish by hand
(do not use a machine to polish the glass).
WARNING
Avoid using harsh chemicals including ammonia, abrasives,
and pressure washers, which could damage your solar
panels. Do not apply pressure to the glass outer shell of the
panels as they could crack. Never use a machine to polish
the glass.
warning
warning
The solar charge controller located inside the coach is maintenance
free� Use a clean damp lint free cloth to wipe the display down� No
other maintenance is required�
NOTE
The solar charger / controller is designed for indoor use
only and should never be exposed to rain or moisture. Do
not disassemble the controller. If you suspect your solar
charging system is not functioning properly contact an
authorized dealership for further assistance.
■ LPG TANK AND SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a permanently mounted tank for Liquid
Propane Gas (LPG) with a remote fill and remote gas supply shut off
switch. LPG burns with a clean blue flame and it powers the Onan QG
2500 LP Generator and the Suburban IW60 water heater if your coach
is equipped with those options� Some coaches are not equipped with
an LPG tank� For example, the Freedom Lithium
®
package does not
include the LPG tank�
■ LPG Regulator
An LPG regulator is installed on the tank to provide low-pressure
service, with a normal outlet pressure setting of 11�5-in� water column�
There are no owner / operator maintenance procedures for this
regulator� Only personnel trained in the proper procedures, codes,
standards, etc�, should service the LPG regulator on your coach�
Have the tank, regulator, hoses, and the shutoff switch at the fill port
inspected annually by an authorized dealership or certified LPG
technician� Replace the regulator if there is evidence of water in the
spring case or signs of external corrosion on the spring case�
LPG CONNECTIONS
A quick-connect, low-pressure LPG connection is located under the
passenger side rear quarter panel behind the wheels� It is a utility
connection to use for an outside grill or other LPG appliance�
Perform
the following inspections and routine maintenance procedures
monthly and any time the coach has been returned to service
following long term storage:
STEP 1
Visually inspect the connections, hoses, and covers for
wear, cracks or other damage;
STEP 2
Check that the remote outlet LPG shut off valve is
turned off;
