Solar Panel; Auxiliary Start System - Fleetwood 1997 Discovery Owner's Manual

ELECTRicAL SYSTEMS
The solar charging panel installed on the roof of your motor
home is designed to "trickle-charge" your battery systems. It
is not intended to be afast charger. It also cannot supply large
amounts of cun'ent to operate 12-volt DC electrical equip-
ment. When the sky is clear and under bright sun, the solar
panel will help keep your batteries "topped-up". Do not try to
operate 12-volt DC appliances with the output of the solar
panel. A light on the monitor panel indicates when the solar
panel is operating.
The panel can be expanded with optional expansion panels. Con-
tact your dealer for more infOlmation on these optional panels.
You can use the Auxiliary Start System to start the chassis
engine or the generator with the house batteries if the chassis
battery is discharged. If the chassis engine alternator is operat-
ing properly, both battery systems will be charged while
driving.
To use the Auxiliary Start System to start the chassis engine:
1. Be sure the motor home is stopped. Shift the transmission
to N and apply the parking brake.
2. Press and hold the Auxiliary Start switch on the instru-
ment panel.
3. Start the chassis engine with the ignition switch.
4. Release the Auxiliary Start switch.

ment panel.
