Furnace

W ARNING
Before operating the furnace, check the location of
the furnace vent to be sure it will not be blocked by
the opening of any door on the truck camper (or by
exterior items such as a bush or a tree).
Tips to ensure continued safe operation of the fur-
nace
1. Inspect furnace venting. Venting must be free of
obstruction and soot.
2. Periodically observe the main burner flame to
ensure it is burning with a hard blue flame. If the
flame appears yellow or lazy, shut the furnace
down. The burner may need to be cleaned or
replaced.
3. Keep the furnace area clear of any combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapor and
liquids.
NOTE:
To properly observe burner operation, the furnace must
be removed. This should only be done by your dealer or
qualified service center.
W ARNING
Do not install screens over the vent for any reason.
Doing so can cause unsafe furnace operation.
W ARNING
Should overheating occur or the propane supply
fails to shut off, shut off the manual propane valve
to the appliance before shutting off the electrical
supply.
Be sure the furnace and all ignition systems are off
during refueling and while the vehicle is in motion.
DANGER
Read the furnace manufacturer's user manual. If
the information in the manual is not followed
exactly, a fire or explosion may result, causing
property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

If You Smell Propane
• Extinguish any open flame.
• Evacuate all persons from the vehicle.
• Shut off the propane supply at the propane
container or source.
• Do not touch any electrical switch or use the
phone or radio in the vehicle.
• Do not start a generator.
• Contact the nearest propane supplier or quali-
fied service center for repairs.
• If you cannot reach a propane supplier or
qualified service center, call the fire depart-
ment.
Do not turn on the propane supply until the pro-
pane leak(s) has been repaired. You, as the owner/
user, should inspect the furnace monthly during
the heating season for presence of soot on the
vent. The presence of soot indicates incomplete
combustion. Operating the furnace under this con-
dition could lead to serious property damage, per-
sonal injury or loss of life. If soot is observed on
the vent, immediately shut the furnace down and
contact a qualified service center.
