Suburban SW10D User Manual

CAUTION: Before applying the 120 VAC power to the water heater junction
box, be sure the switch for electric element is in the “OFF” position.
WARNING! Before the switch for the electric element is turned to the
“ON” position, the water heater tank must lled with water. See “Safety
Warnings”.
INSTALLATION OF MOTOR AID HEAT EXCHANGER
A. Place copper “Y”s in heater as shown in Figure 9.
B. Secure hoses to “Y”s with hose clamps.
C. Attach hose from motor-aid heat exchanger to “Y”s.
D. Secure hoses to motor-aid and “Y”s with clamps.
E. Check all connections for water leaks and proper water circulation through
motor-aid heat exchanger, with engine running.
The system should be checked annually for deterioration of heater hose and
hose connections. Replace as needed.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! If the user of this appliance fails to maintain it in the condition in
which it was shipped from the factory or if the appliance is not used solely
for its intended purpose or if appliance is not maintained in accordance
with the instructions in this manual, then the risk of a re and/or the
production of carbon monoxide exists which can cause personal injury,
property damage or loss of life.
WARNING: For your safety, all repairs should be performed by your dealer
or a qualied service person.
A. Main Burner: Do not allow the burner to burn with a yellow ame, because
sooting will occur. (See Safety Warnings).
If the burner ame is yellow and has an erratic pattern, shut unit down and contact
a qualied service agency. Do not continue operating unit with improper burner
ame. (See Figure 10 for correct and incorrect burner ame appearance.)
B. Periodically inspect unit for soot. If soot is present anywhere on water heater,
immediately shut unit down and contact your dealer or a qualied service person.
Soot is a sign of incomplete combustion and must be corrected before operating
water heater. Areas to check would include:
1. Check for an obstruction in burner or the ue box.
2. Check the screen in the door to see that no foreign material has accumulated
to prevent ow of combustion and ventilating air.
3. Check to be sure there is no ame present at burner orice or burner
whenever main gas valve is closed. This can be checked by turning the OFF\ON
switch to the “OFF” position.
C. Frequent checks should be made of the grommet on the gas inlet to assure
tight seal. (See “Making Gas Connections”).
D. Periodically check wiring and wire connection to be sure wiring is not damaged/
frayed and that all terminals and connections are tight and in compliance with
codes (See “Making Wire Connections”).
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! It is imperative that the water heater tank be lled with water
before operating the water heater. Operation of the water heater without
water in the tank may result in damage to the tank and/or controls. This
type of damage is not covered by the limited warranty.
WARNING! Hydrogen gas may result if you have not used this heater
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, open the hot water
faucet for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any
electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is
present, you probably will hear an unusual sound such as air escaping
through the pipe as the water begins to ow.
Hydrogen gas may be present even after water has been drained from
the tank. Open faucet at sink and allow system to vent for several
minutes (5-10 minutes).
Do not smoke or have any open ame near the open faucet. Do not
attempt to light pilot or main burner. On DSI models, be sure the switch
is “OFF”.
Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to shut off, shut off
the manual gas valve to the appliance before shutting off the electrical
supply.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been submerged under water.
Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that
has been submerged under water.
Do not alter the operation of your water heater nor change the design/
construction of your water heater. Accessories are being marketed for
RV products which we do not recommend. For your safety, only factory
authorized parts are to be used on your water heater.
Periodically inspect the vent for obstructions or presence of soot. Soot
is formed whenever combustion is incomplete. This is your visual
warning that the water heater is operating in an unsafe manner. If soot
is present, immediately shut the water heater down and contact your
dealer or a qualied service person.
When considering add-on rooms, porch or patio, attention must be given
to the venting of your water heater. For your safety, do not terminate the
vent on your water heater inside add-on rooms, screen porch or onto
patios. Doing so will result in products of combustion being vented into
the rooms or occupied areas.
Never operate the heater if you smell gas. Do not assume that the smell
of gas in your RV is normal. Any time you detect the odor of gas, it is
to be considered life threatening and corrected immediately. Extinguish
any open ames including cigarettes and evacuate all persons from the
vehicle. Shut off gas supply at LP gas bottle. (See Safety notice on front
cover of this manual.)
NOTE: Always open both the cold and hot water faucets when lling
vehicle water tank to allow air pockets to be forced out of the water
heater. When water ows from the heater faucets, close both faucets.
WARNING! Do not store or use combustible materials or liquids near
or adjacent to this heater. The appliance shall not be installed in any
location where ammable liquids or vapors are likely to be present.
