the registers or the return air to the furnace.
Storage under cabinets should be done carefully
so as to not crush or damage any furnace ducting.
Smoke and fumes created as a result of burning
off manufacturing compounds are sometimes
present the first time the furnace is used. This is
normal; however, when you light the furnace the
first time, open all windows and doors until the
residues are completely burned off.
Always follow the appliance manufacturer's
lighting and operating instructions.
If
the furnace does not keep you comfortably
warm, NEVER use the range, oven or a catalytic
heater for supplementary heat - even with a
vent or window open.
Combustion air for the furnace comes from
outside the RY. The products of combustion
from the furnace (carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other gases) are returned to
the outside air.
WARNING
Portable fuel-burning appliances are not safe for
heating inside the motor home. Asphyxiation or car-
bon monoxide poisoning can occur.
HURRICANE HEATING SYSTEM
(If Equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with the
Hurricane Heating System. This system consists
of the Hurricane diesel-fired hydronic furnace
and the ComfortHot electric hydronic furnace.
This system offers three thermostatically con-
trolled heating zones and continuous output
potable water. The water bay thermostat fires the
furnace when temperatures fall below 36
degrees. The heating system is located in its
own basement compartment.

CAUTION
The Hurricane's Exhaust is HOTI
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 Hurricane inside an enclosed
building.
Operating the Hurricane 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.
FURNACE FILTER
(If Equipped)
The furnace filter is installed in a wood filter
box.
Furnace Filter Replacement
Generally, replace the filter after 90 days of fur-
nace use. The air quality will determine how
often the filter should be changed. In ditty or
high humidity/high dust conditions, the filter
may require more frequent changing. In these
conditions, check the filter weekly during fur-
nace use. Filters can be purchased through your
local hardware store.
To remove the filter:
1. Turn the retainer tabs to clear the filter
frame.
2. Pull filter straight out.
To install a new filter:
1. Remove old filter.
2. Remove new filter from storage box
directly above the filter box.
