Waste Tank; Water Heaters - Coachmen RV Mirada General Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Satellite Antenna Continued
You have no picture
✔ Be sure you have a clear line of sight. The signal from the satellite(s)
WILL NOT pass through trees, buildings, mountains etc. Remember
the antenna has a 24˚ offset, this means that when the antenna is
straight up and down (90˚) it is looking 24˚ into the sky (Diag. C).
✔ Do you have the TV set tuned for the correct channel 3 or 4 (same
channel as output of receiver)?
✔ Have you entered the correct zip code into the receiver? If zip code is wrong,
you might be looking in the wrong direction/elevation for the satellite.
✔ Check connections at receiver, TV, and antenna.
✔ Check the TV. Does it receive pictures from off-air TV stations/VCR?
✔ Inspect antenna. Make sure that it has not been damaged. If antenna is
even slightly bent, the receiver may not receive any signal.
✔ Contact Dealer or Winegard Service Department.
Antenna does not rotate, or is hard to rotate
✔ Inspect antenna on roof. Make sure that mount has not been damaged.
✔ Check for caulking between gear housing and base plate.
✔ Be sure cables are not binding, and that they are installed properly.

WASTE TANK

Waste tank will not drain.
✔ Build-up in tank. Check for build-up in tank at stool. Make sure stool holds water.

WATER HEATERS

Temperature-pressure relief valve weeping
✔ Weeping or dripping of relief valve while water heater is running DOES NOT mean it is defective.
The Atwood water heater tank is designed internally with an air gap at the top of the tank to reduce
the possibility of this occurring. In time, the expanding water will absorb this air. To replace air:
• Turn off water heater.
• Turn off incoming water supply.
• Open a faucet in the coach.
• Pull handle of relief valve straight out and allow water to flow until it stops.
• Allow relief valve to snap shut; close faucet; turn on water supply.
Removing odor
✔ If your fresh water source has the rotten egg odor, you will need to find another source of fresh
water before flushing and refilling the entire RV water storage system.
✔ Turn off your main water supply; that is, your pump or your water hook-up source.
✔ Drain your water heater tank. Approximately two quarts of water will remain in the bottom of the tank. If
you notice during draining that the water is flowing sporadically or trickling (instead of flowing) you
