• Make sure the LP-Gas supply valve is open.
• The furnace will not light if the blower motor is not spinning to speci-
fied speed. This may be due to a low house battery charge condition.
Hook-up to shore power and start the generator or main engine to
charge the batteries.
• If the blower motor does not spin and the necessary power require-
ments have been met, use a screwdriver or coin to open the furnace
access panel outside of the motorhome. Make sure the ON/OFF switch
is ON and the circuit breaker is pushed IN.
WARNING: If you smell gas and the blower moter is spinning, do not
attempt additional furnace operation. This may result in an explosion,
fire or personal injury. Contact a qualified technician.
A ten-gallon water heater is the standard feature for the motorhome. The water
heater operates by using one of two methods. The first method is 120 Volts AC,
supplied either by shore power or the on board generator. The 120 Volt AC uses a
heating element like the one found in a house water heater. The 120 Volt AC
method is the more efficient if shore power is available.
The second method uses LP-Gas. The LP-Gas incorporates the use of an
Automatic Ignition circuit board operated by 12 Volt DC. Two thermostats control
the water temperature: One for the 120-Volt and the other for the LP-Gas. The water
heater manufacturer presets the temperature of both thermostats.
The process for heating water is simple. Water is pumped into the bottom of the
water heater tank. LP-Gas, 120 Volt AC, or a combination of both, heats the water.
The heated water is discharged out of the top of the tank upon usage.
The water heater is equipped with a by-pass valve for easy winterization and a
Temperature Pressure Relief valve for safety. The water heater has aluminum
clad tank. An anode is not necessary.
NOTE: The automatic ignition circuit board
will make three attempts to light the burner.
If the burner does not light by the third
attempt, the ignition circuit board will go
into "lock-out." Cycling the on/off switch
will reset the ignition board.
NOTE: Do not operate the water heater by
either function without water in the water
heater tank. This can damage the thermostats
and the electric heating element.
