WARNING
CARBON-MONOXIDE
POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow instructions could result
in severe personal injury or death due to
carbon-monoxide poisoning, if combustion
products infiltrate into the building.
Check that all openings in the outside wall
around the vent (and air intake) pipe(s) are
sealed to prevent infiltration of combustion
products into the building.
Check the furnace vent (and air intake)
terminal(s) are not obstructed in any way
during all seasons.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
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 fire and/or the
production of carbon monoxide exists which
can cause personal injury, property damage or
loss of life.
CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnecting for servicing
and servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous furnace operation.
Proper polarity MUST BE OBSERVED so the
furnace motor will run with the proper direction
of rotation to insure correct air delivery. (See
wiring diagram).
Always verify proper operation of furnace after
servicing.
Always verify proper operation of furnace after
servicing.
You, as the owner/user, should inspect the furnace
monthly during the heating season for presence of soot
on vent. Operating the furnace under this condition
could lead to serious property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. If soot is observed on the vent,
immediately shut furnace down and contact a qualified
service agency.
Listed below are several safety related items that you should
follow during the heating season to assure continued safe
operation of the furnace.
1.
Inspect furnace venting. Venting must be free of
obstructions, void of soot and properly terminated to
the atmosphere. (Refer to installation manual.)
WARNING
Do not install screens over the vent for any
reason. Screens will become restricted and
cause unsafe furnace operation. 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 furnace.
2.
Periodically inspect the vent for obstructions or
presence of soot. Soot is formed whenever combustion
is incomplete. This is your visual warning that the
furnace is operating in an unsafe manner. If soot is
present, immediately shut furnace down and contact
your dealer or a qualified service person.
3.
Periodically observe the main burner flame to assure
it is burning with a hard blue flame with well defined
burner ports (See Figure 2). If flame appears yellow
or burner has a lazy flame, shut furnace down. It is
possible that burner needs cleaning or replaced. If
excessive rust and corrosion are present on burner
surface, the burner must be thoroughly cleaned or
replaced. The burner may be cleaned using a steel
wire brush and blown clean using high compression
air. Contact a qualified service person for assistance.
NOTE:
To properly observe burner operation, the furnace
must be removed. This should only be done by your dealer
or a qualified service agency.
4.
Keep furnace clean. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding
material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments,
burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance
be kept clean.
5.
The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no
oiling.
6.
Keep the furnace area clear of any combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapor and
liquids.
7.
Before operating furnace, check the location of the
furnace vent to make sure it will not be blocked by the
opening of any door on the trailer. If it can be blocked,
do not operate the furnace with the door open.
8.
Do not restrict the flow of combustion air or the warm
air circulation to the furnace. To do so could cause
personal injury and/or death.
9.
Never operate the furnace 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 flames including cigarettes and evacuate all
persons from the vehicle. Shut off gas supply at Propane
gas bottle. (See safety notice on front cover of this
manual.)
10.
Immediately shut furnace down and call a service
agency if furnace cycles erratically or delays on ignition.
WARNING
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.
