Return Air Filters
Frequently clean the return air lters. The
lters are located inside the motorhome behind
the intake vent covers. To access the lters with
plastic grill covers, push on both tabs. To access
the lters with wood frame grill covers, pull
down on the front edge. DO NOT run the air
conditioner without the return air lters in place.
Dust and other particles will plug the evaporator
core and substantially reduce the performance of
the air conditioners.
NOTE:
Turn off optional ceiling fan and battery
cut-off switch prior to accessing the
return air filter in the bedroom.
To Clean the Return Air Filters:
Wash lters in warm soapy water. DO
NOT use solvents.
Rinse lters thoroughly with fresh water.
Allow them to dry.
Install lters and secure cover.
TIPS:
Whenever the roof is accessed, ensure
that the AC cover screws are tight.
AQUA-HOT
The Aqua-Hot appliance is a water heater
and furnace in one. A 56,000 BTU diesel red
burner and a 1650 Watt AC element work to
heat a 50/50 solution of Propylene Glycol
antifreeze and water to approximately 200º F.
The heated antifreeze solution circulates through
heat exchangers located within the motorhome
to provide interior heat. Potable water is heated
by the Aqua-Hot for domestic use. The Aqua-
Hot can also preheat the engine, making it easier
to start on cold mornings.
NOTE:
The Aqua-Hot antifreeze is propylene
glycol based boiler antifreeze. DO NOT
mix antifreeze types.
NOTE:
The Aqua-Hot must be turned on before
using any heat feature.
Diesel Burner:
The Aqua-Hot will consume approximately ½
gallon of diesel fuel for each hour of continuous
burner operation (about one or two gallons a
day). The diesel burner is rated at 12 Volt DC/65
watts. Circulating pumps are rated at 12 Volt
DC/12 Watts each. The Aqua-Hot has a fast
recovery rate when operating on diesel. To heat
with the diesel burner, turn the Diesel switch
to the ON position. The switch will illuminate
when the Aqua-Hot is ON. The burner will have
to operate for 20 to 30 minutes before maximum
heat is available for interior heating or hot water.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate the diesel burner if the
motorhome is located inside a building.
Carbon Monoxide can accumulate and
cause asphyxiation.
