tions of appliances yet still remain within the power
capacity of the electrical system.
HYDRONIC HEATING SYSTEM
(If Equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with a Hydronic
heating system. The Hydronic heating system is an
on-board heating system that provides an on-demand,
continuous supply of domestic hot water, as well as
interior heat where and when it is needed. Both heat-
ing features are accomplished by a diesel-fired
burner and an electric heating element (120
volt/AC). These two heating sources maintain the
temperature of the 50/50 solution of water and
antifreeze. In addition, the hydronic heating system
may have the added feature designed to preheat the
vehicle's engine prior to starting. This feature pro-
vides easy engine start-up when cold weather con-
ditions exist.
CAUTION
!
The Hydronic Heating System Exhaust is HOT!
DO NOT park in areas (i.e. dry, grassy fields) where dry
conditions exist underneath the vehicle, as a fire may
result.
DO NOT operate the heating inside an enclosed building.
Operating the Hydronic Heating System diesel burner or
electric heating element without the 50/50 solution of
water and antifreeze will cause serious damage to the
heater.
The heater must be shut OFF when refueling.

NOTE
For more information on the Hydronic Heating
System see Owner's Information Package.
