System Heat Operation:
1. Turn the Systems Heat switch ON to supply power to the snap
disc thermostat.
2. When the bay temperature reaches 40ºF (+/- 6ºF), the snap
disc thermostat will close. The bay heater and the systems heat
Active light will turn on. The heater will continue to operate
until bay temperature reaches 55ºF (+/- 6ºF). The bay heater and
Active indicator light will turn OFF.
NOTE: The bay heater consumes about 20 Amps when
operating. House battery power can be quickly consumed. It is
recommended to hook to shore power when using Systems
Heat.
Storing the Motorhome in Cold Weather Conditions:
If the motorhome is stored where freezing temperatures may occur,
drain the domestic fresh water loop completely of water. When draining
the domestic fresh water system begin with draining the fresh water tank
by opening the point drain lever for the fresh tank and allowing the water
to drain.
NOTE: Icemakers, water filters, water purifiers and water
heaters all use domestic water and should be drained and stored
in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation for
winterization.
The water, plumbing and sewer systems will need to be winterized when the
Motorhome is placed in storage. Winterization is an easy process that only takes a
few minutes if the proper equipment is used. Two basic methods may be used, or
combined to winterize. The use of compressed air to evacuate all liquids, and
replacing all liquids with FDA approved RV antifreeze.
The recommended method of winterizing the motorhome is using air pressure
to remove liquids that may freeze causing damage to the various systems and
appliances. The lines can then be left empty or filled with an FDA approved RV
antifreeze. Antifreeze is not necessary and the decision to use it is left to the
customer.
NOTE: ONLY FDA approved RV antifreeze should be used to winterize
the water systems in the Motorhome.
