To check tank levels:
Press LP GAS, FRESH WATER, GRAY or BLACK TANK
switches.
The E or empty indicator light will always be lit when the
rocker switches are depressed. If the tank is full, all lights will
be on. Lights are sequential, and indicate level in approxi-
mately 1/4-tank increments. It the tank selected is approxi-
mately
1/2-full,
for example, lights E,
1/4
and
1/2
will be on.
EIToneous tank level indications can be caused by:
a. Water with low mineral content. The level is measured by a
very low level electrical signal traveling through the liquid.
Some water may not conduct the signal properly. This condi-
tion may be infrequent, but can exist. Check the panel read-
ing when the fresh water tank is filled.
b. Material trapped on the sides of the holding tanks may give a
full reading when the tank is actually empty.
c. Motor home not level.
To check the main (house) batteries:
1. Unplug the 120-volt AC shore cord and turn off the generator
and chassis engines.
2. Turn on a light or any 12-volt appliance. The battery must be
checked with a load.
3. Press BATTERY rocker switch on the panel.
4. Read battery condition on the meter. Red is low, yellow is fair
and green is good.

NOTE
If the sensor probes
mounted in the tanks get
coated with grease, the
monitor panel may indi-
cate falsely or not at all.
Avoid pouring grease,
oils or similar substances
down drains or the toilet.
If this is unavoidable, the
holding tank(s) should
be washed out with 'a
soapy water solution.
See your dealer for addi·
tional information.
