around the vent (and air intake) pipe(s) are
sealed to prevent infiltration of combustion
products into the building.
Check the furnace vent (and air intake)
terminal(s) are not obstructed in any way
during all seasons.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
WARNING
If the user of this appliance fails to maintain it in
the condition in which it was shipped from the
factory or if the appliance is not used solely for its
intended purpose or if appliance is not maintained
in accordance with the instructions in this manual,
then the risk of a fire and/or the production of
carbon monoxide exists which can cause personal
injury, property damage or loss of life.
CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnecting for servicing and servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous furnace operation.
Proper polarity MUST BE OBSERVED so the furnace motor will run
with the proper direction of rotation to ensure correct air delivery. (See
wiring diagram).
Always verify proper operation of furnace after servicing.
You, as the owner/user, should inspect the furnace monthly
during the heating season for presence of soot on vent.
Operating the furnace under this condition could lead to
serious property damage, personal injury or loss of life. If
soot is observed on the vent, immediately shut furnace down
and contact a qualified service agency.
Listed below are several safety related items that you should follow
during the heating season to assure continued safe operation of
the furnace.
1. Inspect furnace venting. Venting must be free of obstructions,
void of soot and properly terminated to the atmosphere.
(Refer to installation manual.)
WARNING
Do not install screens over the vent for any
reason. Screens will become restricted and
cause unsafe furnace operation. Accessories
are being marketed for RV products which we
do not recommend. For your safety, only factory
authorized parts are to be used on your furnace.
2. Periodically inspect the vent for obstructions or presence of
soot. Soot is formed whenever combustion is incomplete.
This is your visual warning that the furnace is operating in an
unsafe manner. If soot is present, immediately shut furnace
down and contact your dealer or a qualified service person.
3.
Periodically observe the main burner flame to assure it is
burning with a hard blue flame with well defined burner ports
(See Figure 2). If flame appears yellow or burner has a lazy
flame, shut furnace down. It is possible that burner needs
cleaning or replaced. To inspect the main burner, remove the
four (4) screws (A, B, C and D) securing the burner access
door to the combustion chamber (See Figure 1). If excessive
rust and corrosion are present on burner surface, the burner
must be thoroughly cleaned or replaced. The burner may
be cleaned using a steel wire brush and blown clean using
high compression air. Contact a qualified service person for
assistance.
NOTE: To properly observe burner operation, the cabinet front
must be removed. Operation of burner can then be observed
through the viewing window on front of chamber. See Figure 1.
4.
Keep furnace clean. More frequent cleaning may be required
due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
It is imperative that control compartments, burners and
circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
5. The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
6. Keep the furnace area clear of any combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapor and liquids.
7. Before operating furnace, check the location of the furnace
vent to make sure it will not be blocked by the opening of any
door on the trailer. If it can be blocked, do not operate the
furnace with the door open.
8.
Do not restrict the flow of combustion air or the warm air
circulation to the furnace. To do so could cause personal
injury and/or death.
9. Never operate the furnace if you smell gas. Do not assume that
the smell of gas in your RV is normal. Any time you detect the
odor of gas, it is to be considered life threatening and corrected
immediately. Extinguish any open flames including cigarettes
and evacuate all persons from the vehicle. Shut off gas supply
at Propane gas bottle. (See safety notice on front cover of this
manual.)
10. Immediately shut furnace down and call a service agency if
furnace cycles erratically or delays on ignition.
