| + | [[File:1989 WB 40 Dinette Area Photo .png|right|frameless]] |
| + | The dinette area , figure 3-1 includes the area thermostat , Gas/Smoke Alarm , Systems Monitor Panel and four place bench type dinette which converts into a 3/4 size bed. To convert dinette into bed you must first lift up and remove the back cushions from both sides of table, lay these cushions to the side. Next unsnap and slide the bottom cushions toward the back rests. While holding table up reach underneath the table to unlock and fold leg under table. Raise end of table up to remove table top from wall brackets and lay table top into place on dinette base. Place back cushions in open space on lowered table top and dinette base . To convert back to dinette just reverse order of steps above . |
| + | |
| + | === Galley Facilities === |
| + | The galley, figure 3-2 , includes a double sink , food center , refrigerator /freezer , two burner gas cooktops and micro/convection oven. The refrigerator operates from the LP gas supply, from the 120 volts ac supply, or from 12 volt alternator output while in transit. The cooktop also operates from the LP gas supply , Operating procedures for these appliances , given in the following paragraphs assume that the main LPG valve is on. An LPG leak detector, located under the rear dinette seat continuously monitors the area for LPG leakage , shutting off the LPG supply and sounding an alarm if leaks are detected. |

| + | ==== Refrigerator ==== |
| + | [[File:1989 WB 40 Refrigerator Controls Manual Picture.png|right|frameless]] |
| + | Understanding just how the refrigeration process operates will help to explain one of the important reasons why it is necessary to level a parked motorhome. The gas-fired (or electrically-heated) boiler converts the ammonia -water solution to distilled ammonia vapor, which is carried to the finned condenser, where it liquifies. The liquid flows to the evaporator , where it creates a cooling effect by evaporating into a circulating flow of hydrogen gas. If the evaporator coil is not level, the liquid accumulates, form ing pockets which do not readily evaporate and impair or block gas circulation, inhibiting the coo ling process. When the coach is parked, it must be leveled to assure comfortable living accommodations . The refrigerator will then also perform well. Place a bubble level (furnished with unit) on the freezer shelf. When the vehicle is moving , the continuo us rolling and pitching movement will not affect the refrigerator as long as the movement passes either side of level; but when the coach is parked, the refrigerator must be level (within 6 degrees). |
| + | |
| + | '''Operation:''' Before starting the refrigerator , check the gas valve in the piping. Do not forget the valve on the rear of the refrigerator. |
| + | |
| + | # To start the refrigerator set switch 7 to position '''On'''. Light 10 shall now be green. |
| + | # Turn the thermostat knob inside the cabinet to suitable setting, e.g. start with normal position. |
| + | # To shut off the refrigerator set the switch 7 to position '''Off'''. |
| + | |
| + | '''General Information on the Operation of the Refrigerator''' This refrigerator is equipped with an Automatic Energy Selector (AES) system. The control system selects the most suitable available energy source. The selection will be made with highest priority to 120 V AC , second priority is to 12 V DC from the alternator , and lowest priority has gas operation . No manual operation is necessary for change of energy source unless desired . The automatic energy control will, when switched on, start up in AES mode. The AES mode follows the above mentioned priority list and will select the best energy source available. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | '''Note''' The refrigerator also has a built in Battery Protection System. |
| + | |
| + | With this feature, battery voltage will not be allowed to energize the 12V. heater coil until there is 13.6 volt at the + terminal of the refrigerator. This means that not only must the ignition switch be on but the alternator must be providing charging voltage to the batteries. This was designed to prevent burnout of a marginally rated alternator with consequent battery discharge and premature travel termination (highway breakdown). If, after starting, there is so much of a coach load that the alternator can't put out 13.6V. then the refrigerator will not go into the 12V. mode but run on L.P.G. only. |
| + | |
| + | If the coach was previously plugged into shore power and had the L.P.G. shut off (either at the refrigerator or main valve) then the unit would not operate while in transit. There must be LPG available for refrigeration assurance. Lamp 1LR will come on if there is no gas light up. Whenever this light comes on there is no refrigeration as LPG is the lowest priority. |
| + | |
| + | When the alternator provides voltage in excess of 13.6, the unit will ope rate satisfactorily with the 12V. heater. If, however , because of some additional load during travel , the voltage should drop below 11.6, then unit will switch to LPG. See Refrigerator Owner 's Manual for complete operating and care instruct ions. |
| + | |
| + | ==== Gas Cooktop ==== |
| + | [[File:1989 WB 40 Manual Figure 3-4 Gas Cooktop.png|right|frameless]] |
| + | The gas supply for the cooktop burners is provided from the LPG tank. Make sure that the main valve (on tank ) is turned On before use. The cooktop is equipped with an electric igniter instead of pilot light. |
| + | |
| + | Lighting Cooktop Burner |
| + | |
| + | # Depress knob and turn counter clockwise to HI position . Note - A faint popping noise will be heard during step 1. |
| + | # After burner has lit, turn knob a few degrees clockwise until popping stops. |
| + | # Turn knob to desired setting. |
| + | |
| + | ==== Microwave/Convection Oven ==== |
| + | [[File:1989 WB 40 Manual Figure 3-5 - Microwave Control Panel.png|right|frameless]] |
| + | The microwave/convection oven provides programmed microwave cooking , convection operation for crisp, even browning, or a combination of both. Caution Notes |
| + | |
| + | # Unlike microwave-only ovens, all microwave/ convection ovens have a tendency to become hot on the cabinet and oven door, as do conventional range ovens and convection-only ovens. Be careful when touching parts other than the handle or control panel during or immediately following cooking that uses convection heat. |
| + | # Do not cook eggs in the shell. Steam builds up inside the shell and it may explode from pressure. Shelled hard-cooked eggs should be sliced or cut up before reheating in the microwave oven. You may hard-poach eggs for salads and casseroles. |
| + | # Pop popcorn only in special microwave poppers, following manufacturer's directions. Do · not use oil unless specified by the manufacturer, or heat longer than recommended. Never pop popcorn in paper bags or glass utensils. |
| + | # Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. the temperature of the oil cannot be controlled and it may overheat. |
| + | # Do not attempt to can in the microwave oven as it requires prolonged high temperatures . |
| + | # Do not operate the oven empty. |
| + | # Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing in oven. |
| + | |
| + | This oven uses a microprocessor, the electronic brain that provides a wide variety of cooking programs which could not be achieved by conventional control methods. The operation of the oven is controlled by touching the appropriate pads arranged on the surface of the control panel, figure 3-5. The lighted digital readout will display the cooking time, convection temperature , sensor or compu-cook setting, or time of day, and indicators show the variable cooking setting or cooking function you have programmed. See owners manual for operating instructions. |
| + | |
| + | ==== CORIAN Counter Tops ==== |
| + | Even stubborn stains - such as grape or beet juices - wipe off with a damp cloth and household cleanser . Because CORIAN is solid all the way through , it cannot be harmed by abrasive cleansers and normal household cleaners. |
| + | |
| + | CORIAN is strong and tough , but slicing on it with knives can cause scratches. Use a cutting board. |
| + | |
| + | While CORIAN does provide an extra measure of protection (better than ordinary countertops), it is not recommended as a hot pad. Do not place hot pots and pans directly on your CORIAN countertop . |
| + | |
| + | Since it's a solid material with color and pattern all the way through, unusual damage such as cigarette burns , scratches , or other surface abuse can usually be removed using ordinary household cleansers or fine sandpaper. If the stain persists, or if the scratch is particularly deep, first use a medium sandpaper (120 or 240 grit) then fine sandpaper (320 or 400 grit) followed by circular motion buffing with a scotch Brite pad to match the gloss of adjacent surfaces. Household cleanser , steel wool or DuPont No. 7 polishing compound can also be used if higher gloss levels are needed. |
| + | |
| + | '''''Caution:''' Certain chemicals found in the home - such as paint removers, paint brush cleaners, acid drain cleaners and certain brands of nail polish and polish removers - can harm CORIAN if left in contact even for short periods of time. These materials should be wiped away promptly and flushed with water. Depending on time of exposure, surface damage caused by these materials can sometimes extend too deeply for practical repairs.'' |
| + | |
| + | ==== Food Center ==== |
| + | [[File:1989 WB 40 Manual Figure 3-6 - Food Center.png|right|frameless]] |
| + | A built-in variable-speed motor-driven unit , figure 3-6, may be used with blending attachments for a large variety of food preparation tasks . The food center is designed for ac operation and is operable only when the generator is on ; or when coach systems are connected to an external shoreline hookup. |
| + | |
| + | === Bathroom === |
| + | '''Water Pump Switch Two Water Pump On-Off''' switch/indicators are provided for separate control of water pump operation. One switch is located on the control panel In the galley area ; the second is located in the bathroom. The pump may be operated On or Off from either location. The associated indicator is lit whenever power is being supplied to the pump. Setting either switch On pressurizes the water system, with the pump operating on demand to maintain constant pressure . Continuous or erratic pump operation can indicate an empty water tank, system leakage , or air lock in hot or cold water lines. (Air locks are normally caused by movement of water in the tanks during pump operation.) Since tank water level and water pressure can vary with road movement , leave water pump switch Off while the coach is moving. The water pump and air accumulator are located in the bed base cabinet. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | '''Tub Unit''' |
| + | |
| + | The tub unit includes a pressure-balancing single mixing valve, tub water spout with shower wand diverter button , shower head and drain lever. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | '''Toilet''' |
| + | [[File:1989 WB 40 Manual Figure 3-7 - Toilet.png|right|frameless]] |
| + | The toilet , figure 3-7, operates from the fresh water supply , flushing wastes directly into the sewage holding tank. The double-flush foot pedal located at the bottom of the bowl controls the amount of water delivered into the bowl and opens the sliding valve to the tank. After use, depress bowl drain pedal until water swirls , draining wastes into tank, then release pedal. A water-save r feature, consisting of a manually-operated spray hose, is located inside cabinet at side of bowl. To raise the level of water in the bowl, press on the small foot pedal. A water shut off valve is located in supply line to toilet and used to stop water flow to toilet. |
| + | |
| + | === Vent and Exhaust Fans === |
| + | Fans are located in the galley and bathroom. These fans have controls built into the housing. The lid must be raised to desired position before fan is turned on. The fans can be used as exhaust fans by pressing the OUT side of rocker switch or as a vent fan by pressing the IN side of rocker switch. |
| + | |
| + | === Heating Systems === |
| + | Three types of comfort heating systems are used in your motorhome: gas/hot air heat; electric heat; and engine hot water circulating heaters. Two gas/hot air furnaces are used in the coach. Each unit has a separate zone thermostat, figure 3-9. One furnace is located in the living room, another is in the bathroom area. The bathroom furnace is also used to supply hot air to the bedroom via a separate duct. |
| + | |
| + | Separate heating can also be provided by circulating hot-water heaters (chassis heaters) when the engine is operating and the Winter-Summer Heat Selector switch (located on the pilot's area overhead dash) is in Winter position. These heaters share the area thermostat with the LPG furnace. |
| + | |
| + | Four electric convection heaters (120 volt) are located in the bedroom , bathroom , galley area, and living area. On-Off thermostat switches are located on each heater. Three freeze-protection heaters (120 volt) are used to protect plumbing and water supply tanks. |
| + | |
| + | '''Gas/Hot Air Furnace''' |
| + | |
| + | To operate the furnace, proceed as follows: |
| + | |
| + | # Turn manual gas valve (at furnace front) to Off position. |
| + | # Set thermostat above room temperature. A 1 O seconds delay will occur before the blower starts. |
| + | # Allow blower to run for five (5) minutes for combustion chamber purge cycle. |
| + | # After five (5) minutes , set thermostat to the OFF position. |
| + | # Turn manual gas valve to ON. |
| + | # Set thermostat on desired temperature. |
| + | # Allow 24 seconds for ignition to occur. |
| + | # If burner does not light, set thermostat on OFF and repeat steps 1 through 7. |
| + | # If after three (3) attempts with no ignition , go to shutdown and contact a qualified service agency. Do not continue to cycle furnace through thermostat in an attempt to get ignition. |
| + | |
| + | When coach temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the internal relay contacts close to operate the blower. The air flow created by the blower closes an air-actuated switch that, in turn, energizes the main burner gas line solenoid valve which then lights from the electronic ignition. |
| + | |
| + | '''Caution''' Do not store items in or near the burner compartment. |
| + | |
| + | When the coach temperature exceeds the thermostat setting , the relay contacts open. This shuts off the burner gas supply but the blower continues to operate until residual heat within the furnace is dissipated , when a thermostatically-controlled relay turns off the blower. Air for the sealed combustion chamber is pulled in from outside the coach, routed around the heat exchanger , then exhausted through the outside vent. Recirculated fan-forced air blowing across the heat exchanger is used to heat the coach interior. |
| + | |
| + | Switch at bottom of thermostat must be Off (to left) if operation of furnace at lower temperatures is not desired. |
| + | |
| + | '''Hot-Water Heating Systems''' |
| + | |
| + | Five sources of hot water heating are provided which depend on heat generated from engine operation. One heater (90,000 BTU), which serves the pilot's and co-pilot's area, is controlled by-the Front Heat switch on the dash ; and three chassis heaters , (50,000 BTU) under the dinette seat, livingroom sofa and in the bedroom rear storage area, are controlled by the thermostat in that area. The bathroom chassis heater (15,000 BTU) is controlled by the bathroom thermostat. |
| + | |
| + | The engine coolant is normally routed through the engine cooling system and the water heater, which also can be heated electrically, to provide the hot water supply for the coach. However, by operating the Winter-Summer Heat Selector switch , the engine coolant can also be diverted through the previously-mentioned area heaters, via a solenoid valve. The coolant level in the engine radiator should be checked after these valves are opened. Note that two pumps are used to circulate hot water through the coolant lines. One pump is controlled by the Aux. Pump switch (located on the pilot's overhead dash), the second pump is turned on automatically whenever the Front Heat switch is on. |
| + | |
| + | Chassis heater blower motors (dinette seat, front sofa and bedroom rear storage area), are controlled by On-Off Heat switches adjacent to the heater louvers as well as the area thermostats . HILO blower speed switches are also provided. The front heater is equipped with three squirrel-cage dual-speed blowers, operated from separate dash controls. One blower provides defroster air; one provides air to the pilot's side; the third provides air to the co-pilot's side. Use Defrost Hi-Off-Low switch for setting the defroster blower speed; use the left and right Hi-Off-Low Heat switches to control air flow to the pilot's and co-pilot's sides, respectively. To supply heat, the dash Front Heat switch must be On. |
| + | |
| + | '''''Note''' If additional defrosting action is needed, turn auto air conditioning temperature control to the warmest position and turn auto air conditioning fans to high speed. This will circulate additional hot air about the windshield area.'' |
| + | |
| + | Engine heat is picked up by the engine coolant which is pumped through the heaters inside the coach and back into" the engine. A typical heater consists of a heat exchanger, or core, and a fan which moves the air across the core, transferring heat from the engine coolant into the room. |
| + | |
| + | '''Heating System Operation''' |
| + | |
| + | Satisfactory performance of the hot-water circulating type of heating system depends on the following conditions: |
| + | |
| + | # Engine Coolant Temperature - Coolant temperatures vary between 180 and 195 degrees F, during normal engine operation. |
| + | # Coolant Flow - Coolant flow varies with the engine speed. Setting the Aux. Pump switch (located on the pilot's overhead dash) to On turns on the auxiliary pump (located in the engine compartment) to increase the coolant flow through the system. This feature may also be used to reduce engine overheating during normal driving conditions . |
| + | # Proper Fan Operation - All fan motors are two speed and can easily be checked for proper operation by listening to tli e motor speed change as the switch is operated. |
| + | |
| + | More heat will be generated by the engine when it is also used to move the coach. Be sure that the engine radiator is full and that all coolant flow valves are open. Warm engine to operating temperature and set heating system switches as follows: |
| + | |
| + | # Winter-Summer Heat Selector to Winter positon |
| + | # Aux. Pump to On |
| + | # Front Heat switch to On |
| + | # Left and right Heat blower switches to Hi or Low |
| + | # Thermostats to desired temperature. |
| + | |
| + | '''Electric Heaters''' |
| + | |
| + | Electric forced-air heaters (120 volts) are located in the bedroom, bath, galley and living room areas. Each heater is controlled by a combination On-Off switch /thermostat. Heater operating voltage is provided from the same switches which control the air conditioners. Air conditioner On-Off toggle switches , on the TV control panel above the pilot , must be in On position and individual A/C switches Off. |
| + | |
| + | '''Freeze Protection Heaters and Heat Tape''' |
| + | |
| + | Freeze protection heaters (120 volts) are thermostatically-operated to turn on and protect the water supply tanks and associated plumbing in the event that temperatures drop below 40°. Two heaters are used ; under the kitchen sink; and within the bed base cabinet. Thermostatically controlled heat tape (120 volts) are run on the copper water tubing and then wrapped with insulation . Heat tapes start to heat at 36°F and stop at 43°F. |
| + | |
| + | '''''Note''' This freeze protection will greatly decrease the chances of frozen water lines provided the coach is plugged into outside power (one SOA. or two 30A. power cords) or the generator is run continuously during cold weather periods.'' |
| + | <br /> |
| + | |
| + | === Air Conditioners === |
| + | [[File:1989 WB 40 Manual Figure 3-10 - Roof Air Conditioner.png|right|frameless]] |
| + | Three 13,500 BTU roof air conditioners located in the living room and bedroom. The 12 volt master ON/OFF switches are located on the pilot's left overhead control panel. Fan and thermostat controls are located on the roof air conditioners. Each air conditioner is equipped with a 1,000 watt heat strip. |
| + | |
| + | === '''Systems Monitoring and Control Panel''' === |
| + | [[File:1989 WB 40 Manual Figure 3-11 - Systems Monitoring and Control Panel.png|frameless|605x605px]] |
| + | The systems monitoring and control panel, figure 3-11 , is located on the rear dinette wall. This one panel provides a convenient means of displaying inside and outside temperature, time , level of potable water supply , holding tanks, and LPG supply, as well as other monitoring and alarm functions discussed in the following paragraphs. |
| + | |
| + | '''Water Pump''' - The water pump switch is one of two switches that can be used to turn the water pump on or off. The '''ON''' indicator will be lit when power is being supplied to the pump. |
| + | |
| + | '''Refrigerator Alarm''' - When the switch is on the refrigerator temperature is being monitored. Normally , the '''ON''' indicator is lit; if the refrigerator temperature increases to an unsafe level , the '''WARM''' indicator lights with an accompanying audible alarm. |
| + | |
| + | '''Gas/Smoke Alarm''' - The gas /smoke alarm is a gas leak detector designed to sense dangerous concentrations of LP gas or carbon monoxide within the coach. There are four (4) sensors mounted at floor level (LP gas is heavier than air) for the three furnaces and the refrigerator . One sensor is located above the 120 volt ac distribution panel (Load center) to monitor carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide , of course, is the most deadly of the products of combustion. It will provide an alert in the event of a short circuit at the load center. The alarm has been factory-calibrated to an alarm point of 2,000 PPM propane for standard conditions (temperature, 20 degrees C + I - 2 degrees ; relative humidity 65% + /- 5%. This provides for a minimum of false alarms consistent with providing reasonable safety . |
| + | |
| + | To turn on the unit, set On-Off switch to On and observe that Power On indicator is lit. Excessive propane PPM conditions are indicated by the sounding of the audible alarm and lighting of an indicator associated with the danger area. The alarm, if left turned off for a period of time, has a warmup period of about one minute. During this time , the alarm may sound. This is a normal response and should stop once the unit is warm. |
| + | |
| + | '''Clock/Thermometer''' - The clock/thermometer provides , on demand , a digital display of inside and outside temperature, digital time display , and an alarm function . Operate the panel controls as follows: |
| + | |
| + | # Monitor inside or outside temperature (°F) by pressing the Temp In or Temp Out buttons. There is an internal adjustment , at the rear of the unit, which may be used to calibrate the temperature readings. (Calibration of this unit is described in Section VIII.) |
| + | # Set the clock by depressing the Fast or Slow Set button until the correct time is shown. PM is indicated by lighted dot in the upper left corner. The dot in the center of the display marks the seconds. |
| + | # Set alarm as follows : depress Alarm Display button then depress the Fast or Slow button to set the alarm time. Dot in upper left corner will light when alarm is set for PM. After setting the alarm , release Alarm Display button to return to the normal time mode. To activate the alarm feature , depress Alarm On/Off button to On; to shut off the alarm, depress Alarm On/Off button and release so it pops out to Off. '''''Note''' When 12 V. power has been interrupted (batteries disconnected or Electronic Master switch turned off) clock display will flash "12:00". Reset clock to eliminate flashing. Alarm will also have to be reset.'' |
| + | |
| + | '''Tank Monitor''' - The Tank Monitor panel provides an illuminated readout of the content level of the pure water , gray and waste water tanks, and the LPG tank level. When full, each of these tanks has the following capacity: pure water supply , 116 gallons (See Table 8-4); gray water holding tank, 100 gallons ; body waste tank, 100 gallons; and LPG tank , 43.5 gallons (148 lb.). Use the features of this panel as follows: |
| + | |
| + | # Monitor Pure, Gray or Waste Tank levels by depressing the respective button. The content level remaining in the tank is indicated by five sets of lit readings . The E lamp, at the left of the display, is lit all the time ; if the next indicator is lit, the level is approximately 1 /4 tank; if the center indicator is lit, tank level is between 1 /2 and 3/4 full ; if the 3/4 indicator is lit, tank level is between 3/4 and full; and if the F indicator is lit, tank level is full. If only the E indicator is lit, the tank level is between empty and 1 /4. |
| + | # LPG tank level can be monitored in the same manner as the water tank level by depressing the Propane Tank button. Note that this display is pre-calibrated. However, if it is necessary to recalibrate the display, this can be done when the tank is full by setting a rear-panel adjustment. Note that the display will read Full when the LPG tank float reads 80% because the remaining 20% volume is needed for expansion. |
| + | |
| + | '''Waste Odor Control Panel''' - This panel controls the cycling and electrolysis action of two pairs of stainless steel electrodes contained within the body waste holding tank. A 12-volt current is passed between each pair of electrodes for a 16- minute On period (green LED); and switched off for a 48-minute Off period (red LED). For each cycle, the current is reversed so that the electrolytic action does not excessively erode the steel electrodes. |
| + | |
| + | As current flows through the waste liquid, it oxidizes the organics and eliminates associated odor. To increase odor control effectiveness , a tablespoonful or two of salt may be added through the toilet if desired. |
| + | |
| + | The electrodes (probes) are replaceable. |
| + | |
| + | '''Generator Switch''' - The generator Start-Stop switch provides the same features as the generator switch located above the driver. Press switch to Start position and hold until generator starts as shown by the switch indicator light. Press switch to Stop to shut-down the generator (light extinguished) . Press switch to Stop (and hold for pre heat). |
| + | |
| + | === '''LP Gas Leakage Detector''' === |
| + | The gas leakage detector, figure 3-12, is located beneath the rear dinette seat. In the event of an LP leak, the unit sounds an alarm and closes down the main LPG supply by activating the leak detector solenoid shutoff valve located in the gas line just after the low pressure regulator. If it is necessary to reset the solenoid (red band is visible inside clear plastic valve housing), open the outside refrigerator vent compartment door, remove plastic housing by gripping locking levers and lifting upward, push valve plunger down until it remains down, then replace the cover. To test alarm operation, press the test switch located on top of the detector unit. Alarm must sound for at least 15 seconds before the shutoff valve will be activated. |
| + | |
| + | === '''Electronic Door Chime''' === |
| + | The door chime is located in a removable compartment in the right hand overhead storage compartment, figure 3-13. The door chime can be preset to play any one of 60 different tunes when the doorbell button is pressed. As shown , all controls for tune selection, volume, tone and tempo are easily accessible. Tunes may be selected as follows: |
| + | |
| + | # Refer to tune index, at bottom of chime, and note the code number for the desired tune. For example, "William Tell Overture" is identified by DB. |
| + | # Press in the left-hand tune selector button and move into position D. |
| + | # Press in right-hand button and move it to position 8. |
| + | # Press test button to play selected tune and adjust volume , tone and tempo as desired. Note that tunes identified with an asterisk (*) will play longer if the button remains depressed. '''''Caution:''' Do not use a lighted door button with this chime or chime may be inadvertently activated.'' |
| + | |
| + | === '''Portable Fan''' === |
| + | [[File:1989 WB 40 Manual Figure 3-14 - Portable Oscillating Fan.png|right|frameless]] |
| + | The portable oscillating fan is shown in figure 3-14. The 12-volt hookup cable is coiled within the base section when the fan is not in use. This will supply air circulation within the coach when it is too cool for air conditioning. |
| + | |
| + | === '''Security Timer''' === |
| + | [[File:1989 WB40 Manual Figure 3-15 - Security Timer.png|right|frameless]] |
| + | The Watchdog security timer, figure 3-15, is a randomly -switched electrical timer which can be used to control the on-off operation of an appliance , light, etc., to give your coach that 'lived-in' look when it is unoccupied. The three-position switch may be set to OFF, to shut off the controlled appliance; to ON, for manual control; or to Security, for random operation. |
| + | |
| + | === '''Burglar Alarm / Anti-Theft''' === |
| + | Features The security of your motorhome and contents are assured by an intruder alarm system which protects windows and entry door. Eac.h window is protected by a magnetic proximity switch which triggers an alarm if the window is opened. The entry door uses a door jamb switch which operates when the door is opened. When the system is secured it may be activated from outside the coach by a key-switch adjacent to the entry door. From inside the coach , a master burglar alarm switch may be operated at the front instrument panel. |
| + | |
| + | In addition to the alarm system, an anti-theft switch for the ignition circuits (A/T switch on dash) can be operated so that the unit cannot be started . Lastly, the 12 volt Master switch (hidden behind the right'side of the dash) can be operated to turn off all but essential 12 volt circuits. |
| + | |
| + | === Fire Extinguisher === |
| + | A portable, multi-purpose dry chemical fire extinguisher is located under the aisle end of the dinette seat. A second fire extinguisher is located in an outside coach compartment. To use, release the clamp and remove the fire extinguisher from the bracket , pull safety pin from handle, squeeze handle and apply chemical under flame. |
| + | |
| + | === Smoker Detector === |
| + | A smoke detector (now code mandated) is installed in a ceiling location just outside the entrance to the bedroom area. Operator instructions ~ are attached inside the overhead cabinet where the warning label is displayed on the exterior door trim. |
| + | |
| + | It is possible for the smoke detector to be activated by the cold air coming from a roof air conditioner outlet. Slight downward rotation of the outlet louvre is all that is necessary to discontinue activation. |

| + | [[File:1989 WB40 Manual Figure 3-17 - Gas Grill.png|right|frameless|352x352px]] |
| + | The L.P.G. grill is stored in compartment above the L. P. G. tank . |
| + | |
| + | # Remove the three foot length of L.P. gas hose, with quick disconnect fittings , from within the grill and attach the end of the hose with the male fitting to the female quick disconnect fitting coming from the L.P. gas tank. |
| + | # Pull the grill on its carrier as far out from its storage compartment as the slides will allow. |
| + | # Connect the female fitting on the three foot L.P. gas hose to the male fitting at the rear of the plumbing enclosure box on the right side of the grill carrier. |
| + | # Open the main valve from the L.P. tank and the valve between the pressure regulator and the quick disconnect. |
| + | # The grill is equipped with a Piezo Electric Spark Generator that may be used to ignite the grill. The grill may be ignited by opening the top cover and pushing in on the gas valve and turning it counter-clockwise 90° to the full on position. Then , depress the red button on the electric spark generator to discharge a spark that should ignite the burner. If ignition does not occur the first time the red button is depressed, repeat depressing the red button until ignition does occur. '''''Caution''' Do not grasp the black body of the electric spark generator when depressing the red button because a mild electric shock may be experienced.'' |
| + | # After complete ignition has been established , it may be desirable to close the lid on the grill and allow it to pre-heat for a period of up to 10 minutes prior to the start of grilling or broiling . |
| + | # At the end of use , the gas valve should be turned clockwise to full OFF and the L.P. gas hose should be disconnected from the rear of the plumbing enclosure box. |
| + | # The grill should be allowed to cool so the castings are cool enough to touch before sliding the grill back into its storage compartment. |
| + | # The three foot L.P. gas hose should then be disconnected from the supply fitting and the valve should be turned off between the fitting and regulator before closing the compartment doors. |
| + | |
| + | '''Cleaning''' |
| + | |
| + | The grill may be removed from the carrier for cleaning as follows: |
| + | |
| + | # Remove the grill cover by raising it and disengaging it from the hinge halves on the lower grill body. |
| + | # Lift out the cooking grate and then lift out the fire grate that holds the ceramic rocks . |
| + | # There are four quarter turn wing head studs in the bottom of the lower grill body that may be rotated counter-clockwise to disengage the grill body from its carrier. The grill body may be removed from the carrier by lifting the left side up and then moving the body to the left to disengage the burner venturi from the gas orifice hood. |

| + | === Stepwell Cover === |
| + | [[File:1989 WB40 Manual Figure 3-18 - Co-Pilot's Control Panel.png|right|frameless|351x351px]] |
| + | The air powered stepwell cover is raised or lowered into position by operating the Stepwell Cover Up or Down toggle switch located on the CoPilot's Control Panel (figure 3-18) on the right side of the hood table. Also located on this panel is the Step Master switch, Step Light switch , a Stereo Jack and CB Jack with Volume control. Adjustments for the cover travel speed can be made by removing the top drawer in the hood table and adjusting the regulator and/or needle valve. |
| + | |
| + | The Step Light switch makes it possible to turn off the step lights if the step is to remain in the extended position for a time. |
| + | |
| + | If it is desirable for the step to be left in the extended position , for repeated trips into the coach, the Step Master may be switched. |
| + | |
| + | '''''Note''' When air pressure drops below '''65 psi''' the entrance step will extend and lock into place. The step will not retract until sufficient air pressure has built up.'' |

| ==Electrical Systems== | | ==Electrical Systems== |
− | <br /> | + | There are actually two interrelated electrical systems used in your motorhome: the 12 volt de supply system; and the 120 volt ac supply system. The 12 volt de supply system is divided into several branches , or zones , each functioning from the common 12 volt battery source. One branch provides the 12 volts required for the automotive starting, ignition and lighting systems; remaining branches supply those motorhome circuits and appliances which require 12 volts de for operation. |
| + | |
| + | The 120 volt ac system includes those motorhome appliances which require 120 volts for their operation , supplied from either the internal generator , or from the external 120 volt ac (or a split 240 volt ac) supply, via the shoreline hookup. An optional inverter unit will supply 120 volt power from the coach batteries to selected circuits. |
| + | |
| + | === 12 Volt DC Supply System === |
| + | Wiring diagrams of the 12 volt supply and distribution system are included in Section X. The 12 volts supplied to all motorhome appliances, outlets and accessories is routed from the batteries through a main 12 volt master switch and routed through busses to the individual branches, or zones, that are serviced from this supply. Circuit breakers are located behind the access panel at the top front left side of the coach, lower front load center (behind removable panel outside front of coach) and at each of the zones. The circuits supplied and fuse or circuit breaker protection at each zone are shown on diagrams included in Section X. A typical load center is shown in figure 4-1. <br /> |
