HOT WATER HAZARD
Hot water at temperatures above 125°F (51ºC) can
cause serious scalding injuries and in extrem cases
even death.
The boiler can deliver hot water at a temperature up
to 185°F (85°C).
– For safe operation, use a mixing valve set at
temperature no higher than 125°F (51°C).
AIR CUSHION
Theboilerisdesignedtohaveanairspace,calledanair
cushion,atthetopofthetank.Thisaircushionisessen-
tialforabsorbingpressuresurgesintheheater,thuspre-
ventingabuild-upofpressurethatcouldcausedamage
topipesandpipejoints.Whentheboilerisincontinuous
use,however,thisaircushiontendstodissipate.
Draining the boiler using the combined safety/drain
valve:
1. Switchoffthefreshwaterpump.ConsultyourRV
owner’smanualtondthelocationofthiscontrol.
