NOTE
I
Heat pump(s) are designed to operate in moderately
cold environments. If outside ambient temperature is
too low the climate control system will automatically turn
on the Propane furnace(s) rather than the heat
pump(s).
The combined cooling capacities of heat pumps are
5-10% less than the standard air conditioners.
AIR CONDITIONER(S)
(If Equipped)
The roof-mounted air conditioner(s) can operate
only when the motor home is connected to 120-
volt AC power from either a public utility or the
generator. Be sure the air conditioner circuit
breaker is ON.
Each return air duct is equipped with a filter.
Check these filters at regular intervals for accu-
mulations of dust that could restrict air flow.
For best performance, park the motor home in
the shade and close curtains. Close doors and
windows and tum the temperature control knob
for desired coolness. Refer to the air conditioner
manufacturer's instructions for detailed
operating and preventive maintenance require-
ments. Remember that air conditioners use a
large portion of your available electric power.
See the Electrical System chapter for operating
details on the Fleetwood Climate Control System.
Experience has shown that some RV parks may
experience reduced power (low voltage) on days
with high heat or humidity, commonly referred
to as a "brown out." This condition may result in
the air conditioner circuit breaker tripping in
your power distribution center. This protects
your air conditioner motor from damage and is
necessary during low voltage conditions. This
breaker tripping is sometimes perceived as a
fault in your motor home, but it is a necessary
"safety valve."

NOTE
I
Your motor home is equipped with
a
ceiling-ducted air
conditioning system. For most efficient operation,
adjust each vent so that is completely open.
If you
change the vent opening to regulate air flow try not to
restrict the vent opening to below 70% open.
Restricting air flow below this opening will affect the
efficiency of the air conditioner.
VCR, TELEVISIONS, DVD PLAYER
(If Equipped)
All televisions, VCR and DVD players are set
up to operate on a 120-volt AC power source.
This source can be from the generator, shore
cord or inverter.
ADDITIONAL 12-VOLT EQUIPMENT
If additional equipment requiring 12-volt power
is installed in the motor home, obtain the 12-
volt source from a properly fused battery circuit.
Consult an authorized Fleetwood Dealer before
adding any additional equipment to your motor
home.
VIDEO EQUIPMENT
Video equipment can operate from inverter power
or when the motor home is connected to 120-volt
power from either a public utility or a generator.
VIDEO SWITCHER
(If Equipped)
The video switcher, located near the VCR, allows
routing of the antenna, cable or VCR signals to
both the front and rear TV s independent of each
other. You can also use the switcher to record or
pass through the signals from the antenna or
cable hookup.
VIDEO CONTROL CENTER
The video control center, located near the VCR,
allows routing of the antenna, cable, satellite,
VCR or DVD signals to both the front and the
