Fault Finding - Swift Motorhome Owners Service Manual

If they still fail to heat up, try the following:
To help bleed the remaining trapped air place
the vehicle on a sloping surface with the front
end downwards. Then open the bleed screw
at the highest point at the rear until it starts
discharging fluid, then close the the bleed
screw. Turn the vehicle around and bleed the
highest point at the front.

Fault finding

The boiler does not start
1. No LPG? Incorrect type for conditions?
2. Is the cylinder valve and gas shut off valve
on the manifold open?
3. If the boiler has not been operated for
some time, or if the gas cylinder has been
changed, it may take longer than normal to
light the boiler.
4. Check that the boiler is connected to the
electricity supply (> 11V).
5. Check that the fuse (T) for the boiler
is intact (See fuses on page 73).
6. Check whether the electric connections on
the boiler are securely in position.
If none of the above helps, contact a
service workshop.
The heating cartridge is not working
1. Check that there is an electricity supply
(230V ~) to the heating cartridge.
2. Check that the relays fitted to the boiler
come on (a slight click can be heard from
the relays when the heating cartridge is
switched on at the control panel).
If none of the above helps, contact your dealer
or Alde - See page 9 for contact numbers.
