CAUTION
NEVER disconnect battery power to
the hydronic heater using the Battery
Disconnect Switch or circuit breaker
while the heater is operating. Doing
so may cause serious damage to the

Maintaining Your Hydronic System
Maintenance of hydronic systems is impor-
tant to do on an annual basis.
Heat exchanger units need routine cleaning
and vacuuming to ensure that the convective fins
are free from dirt and lint.
The boiler and water heaters require routine
maintenance as recommended by the manufac-
turer.
Because of the complexity of this system we
recommend that you take your coach to your
Ultimate Freedom dealer for annual maintenance
and service, unless you are familiar with heating
systems and electronic controls.
See Chapter 6 of the Hydronic Heating Sys-
tem manual included in your owner InfoCase.

heating system, the diagnostic display on the
remote switch panel will give you a fault code.

nical hotline shown on the control box and they
will guide you through the troubleshooting pro-

WATER HEATER
The residential fresh water system
water heater is incorporated into the hydronic
heater system. This system provides continuous
1.5 gallons-per-minute of hot water (at approx.
106° F.) following an approximately 3 1/2 min-
utes pre-heat time. This means you can enjoy a
long shower and wash that extra load of laundry
without running out of hot water.
Start-Up
· Be sure the Water Heater main switch on the
heater control box in the heater compartment
is turned on.
