APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS
For Propane Gas Operation
Press the Water Heater switch on the 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.
See the water heater user's guide in your
InfoCase for further information.

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.
Operating Instructions
Read the operating and safety information
provided in the Water Heater Operation Manual
in your InfoCase.

MOTOR AID WATER HEATER

–If Equipped
The motor aid 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 motor aid also increases the capacity of
the engine cooling system, allowing the engine to
run cooler under many conditions.
CAUTION
Any leak in the heat exchanger or its
supply or return lines could cause loss of
coolant and subsequent engine failure.
We recommend that you periodically
inspect these connecting lines and the
heater to insure that no leaks have
developed.
