Motoraid Water Heater - Winnebago Vista User Manual

Be sure the water heater is filled with water
before starting either electric or propane gas
operation. To fill the water heater, turn the
Water Pump switch on and open a hot water
faucet anywhere in the coach. When water begins
to flow steadily from the faucet, the water heater
is full.
For Propane Gas Operation
Press the Water Heater switch on the Systems
Monitor Panel. The "Pilot Out" light will glow
for about 10-15 seconds, then it will go out. The
"Heater On" indicator will remain lit. If the "Pilot
Out" light comes on during gas operation, it
means that the burner has gone into "lockout"
mode and must be restarted. If this happens, turn
the Water Heater switch off for about 5 minutes,
then turn it back on.
Gas Water Heater Switch
(Located on Systems Monitor Panel)
For Electric Operation
Turn on the Water Heater electric element
switch. The shoreline must be connected or
generator running for electric operation.
APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS
Electric Water Heater Switch
(Typically located near Systems
Monitor Panel)
For Quick Recovery Operation
(Dual Heating)
Turn On both Water Heater switches - the gas
one on the monitor panel and the electric one.
This will help reheat the water heater tank more
quickly than a single source would alone. Use
this mode when you are using a larger than
normal volume of hot water.
Further Information
See the Water Heater manufacturer's
operation manual provided in your InfoCase for
complete operating instructions, safety warnings,
and maintenance information.

MOTORAID WATER HEATER

–If Equipped
The Motoraid uses heat from the chassis
engine cooling system to heat water in the water
heater while driving. Hoses are routed from the
engine to a heat exchanger surrounding the water
heater tank.
Under normal conditions, the entire contents
of the water heater can be heated in about two
hours or 100 miles of driving. This means you
can have hot water at the faucets immediately
upon arriving at a site.
The Motoraid also increases the capacity of
the engine cooling system.
