  • Page 3: General Service Information

    GENERAL SERVICE INFORMATION Suburban DYNATRAIL furnaces installed in recreational vehicles are classified as Direct Vent Sealed Com bustion Furnaces. A forced draft furnace utilizes a sealed com bustion cham ber which is vented to the outside atm osphere. The intake air for com bustion is also taken from outdoors and is com pletely isolated from the room air. A m otor is used to drive an im peller wheel to draw intake air into the cham ber to support com bustion and force the exhaust gases through the furnace cham ber to the outside atm osphere.

    INSTALLATION There are several important aspects of the installation which will pertain to all Suburban forced draft furnaces, regardless of the model or the method in which they are installed. They are: Selecting a Location Venting Return Air Ducting Refer to the furnace installation manual for all installation requirements. Location and Installation- Locate the furnace near lengthwise center of the coach.

    VENTING Venting- By definition of a Direct Vent Sealed Combustion Furnace, it must be vented to the outside atmosphere and also draw combustion air from outdoors. Therefore, it is imperative that the vent be unobstructed and there must be a seal between the exhaust and intake (caulking) . Refer to the vent assembly installation in the manual.

    DUCTING Ducting - Suburban furnaces require that a m inim um duct area be m aintained throughout entire duct system including through the register. It is very im portant to adhere to the m inim um duct area in order to keep the furnace from cycling on high lim it and to assure proper operation of the sail switch (som etim es referred to as a m icroswitch.) NOTE: (Refer to the installation manual for the minimum ducted square inches area for each model.)

    MAINTENANCE Preventative m aintenance is essential if an RV owner is to have reliable, safe operation of his furnace. Two im portant areas to watch closely in order to assure safe, reliable operation are the venting and the m ain burner. An obstruction in the vent or m ain burner will reduce the com bustion air which results in incom plete com bustion.
  • Page 40: Cautions & Safety Information

    CAUTIONS & SAFETY INFORMATION Never use a battery charger to power or test an electronic ignition furnace as they som etim es provide m ore than 14.5 DC Volts that could dam age the m odule board. Never operate the furnace with the electrode wire disconnected nor with the electrode assem bly rem oved from the furnace.
