DASH AIR CONDITIONER & HEATER
CONTROLS
Dash AC and Heater Control:
Designed to provide heating, cooling and
defrost capabilities for the pilot/co-pilot area.
The system is not designed to heat or cool the
entire motorhome.
Blower Control Switch:
Controls the four speeds of the blower
motor. This is one of the most effective
ways of controlling temperature. The Mode
Control Switch must not be in the OFF
position in order for the blower to activate.
Temperature Control Switch:
Setting the switch to the red zone
controls an electric water valve
regulating the amount of engine
coolant passing through the heating
coils in the system. Rotating to the
blue zone sets the cut-in/cut-out
temperature of the air conditioning
compressor on the engine.
Mode Control Switch:
Directs air ow by opening or closing
damper doors. Use the Mode Control
Switch to direct airow where it is
needed to maximize comfort in the
cockpit area.
NOTE:
The air conditioning compressor is
activated when using MAX A/C, A/C,
MIX and DEFROST.
MAX A/C - Recirculated air is
drawn from the passenger area and
discharged through the dash louvers.
A/C - Fresh air is drawn from outside
into the system and discharged
through the dash louvers.
VENT - Fresh air is drawn in and
discharged throughout the dash.
OFF - The blower motor does not
operate. The fresh air inlet door
will close, minimizing outside air
inltration into the motorhome.
BI-LEVEL - Fresh air is drawn in
and discharged through the dash and
the oor.
FLOOR - Fresh air is drawn in and
discharged through the oor louvers.
MIX - Fresh air is drawn in and
discharged through the oor and
defrost louvers. The A/C system
operates to dehumidify the
discharged air.
DEFROST - Fresh air is
drawn in and discharged
through the defrost louvers.
The A/C system operates to
dehumidify the discharged air.
A/C Operation:

modes except BI LEVEL, FLOOR and OFF.
When the Mode Control Knob is positioned
in the A/C mode, fresh air is drawn through
the front air intake of the unit through the A/C
coil. The Mode Control Knob in the MAX
A/C position closes off a damper door to
outside air and recirculates air from inside the
motorhome.
