Before the beginning of each travel season
• Thoroughly clean and inspect the furnace.
• Remove any obstructions, debris, or lint which may obstruct free air flow or impede the
operation of the air-circulation system. For example, accumulated dust or lint could pos-
sibly obstruct the orifices for the pilot light or may accumulate on the blower blades and
unbalance the operation of the blower. Additionally, any debris in the ductwork, when
heated by the furnace, could emit unpleasant odors or possibly become a fire hazard.
HEAT PUMP
Your RV may be equipped with the optional heat pump. The heat pump is built into the
air conditioning unit, and operates on electricity only, allowing you to conserve propane.
Performance of the heat pump begins to degrade at around 40° F. The heat pump will shut
down at conditions which would cause outdoor coil freeze-up, generally near freezing tem-
peratures.
Because the heat pump is built into the air conditioning unit, when using the heat pump,
the warm air discharges out the ceiling vents (not the floor registers).

AIR coNDITIoNING

Power Requirements
The factory-installed air conditioning system is designed for 120-VAC power supplied either
from the external power cord or from the generator.
NOTE: ALWAYS check that you have sufficient power available before operating the air
conditioner.
