Both heating features are accomplished by a 12 Volt-DC powered Diesel-Burner and a minimum of one 120 Volt-AC Electric Heating Element. As Vehicle Systems manufactures two separate models of the Aqua-Hot, the number and wattage of the Electric Heating Element(s) may vary; reference Section 2.2 for model differentiation information. These two heating sources maintain the temperature of the Aqua-Hot’s antifreeze and water heating solution. The antifreeze and water heating solution captures and stores the heat produced by the heating system, thereby providing continuous domestic hot water, as well as interior/fresh water tank heating. The Aqua-Hot has also been designed to preheat the vehicle’s engine prior to starting, which provides easy engine start-up when cool weather conditions exist. Aqua-Hot Model Differentiation Vehicle Systems, Inc. manufactures two individual models of the Aqua-Hot Hydronic Heating System. The varying factor between these two models is the number of Electric Heating Elements featured, as well as the wattage employed by each Electric Heating Element. In order to determine which of the following Aqua-Hot models has been employed, locate the Marking Plate on the Heating System (reference Figures 1 and 3 for Marking Plate information) and view the Model Number Box.

Mounting the Aqua-Hot Overview Because Motorhome applications will vary, the Aqua-Hot’s permanent mounting location should be chosen carefully. Adhering to the guidelines listed below will ensure maximum system performance and safe operation. A. The permanent mounting location must be capable of supporting a minimum of 400 lbs. Inspect the area beneath the mounting location to ensure no structural members will interfere with the Exhaust and Combustion-Air Intake Holes. B. Because combustion-air must be drawn from outside the motorhome, the AquaHot cannot be installed anywhere inside the passenger compartment or any living area. C. Centralize the Aqua-Hot nearest the area where Domestic Hot Water will be used most frequently (i.e., Bathroom and Kitchen areas); reference Figure 7 and the “Generalized Motorhome Heating System Floorplan” in Section 3.4. This will ensure that the domestic hot water lines will be as short as possible. D. Mount the Aqua-Hot near a Storage Bay Door so the Aqua-Hot’s Access Cover can be easily removed for product servicing, and the Heater can be easily accessed from outside the Motorhome. Mounting the Aqua-Hot in this location will also ensure a minimal length of Exhaust Pipe (reference Section 3.23, “Overview and Installation of the Aqua-Hot’s Exhaust System,” for details). E. The Aqua-Hot’s Exhaust must be able to freely exit away from the Vehicle without any obstructions. In addition, the Exhaust Pipe is hot and must be kept away from any heat sensitive material. F. Adequate ventilation from underneath the Motorhome must be supplied to the Aqua-Hot at all times. This will ensure the Diesel-Burner receives a sufficient supply of combustion-air. CAUTION: The combustion air cannot be supplied from any compartment possibly containing combustible gases (e.g., Battery gases, Gasoline fumes, Propane fumes, etc.). ! NOTE: Although preinstalled, the Combustion-Air Intake Sleeve MUST BE UTILIZED in order for the product to comply with the UL 307A listing; reference Figure 4. G. The permanent mounting location must allow for mounting of the Electronic Controller within the allowable wire harness length; reference Section 3.14 for specific mounting details.

A. Space the Heat Exchangers so that even-heat distribution will be felt throughout the interior; reference Figure 7 and the “Generalized Motorhome Heating System Floorplan” in this section of the manual. NOTE: For “Slideout” configurations, it is simplest to place a Heat Exchanger(s) on the opposite side of the Motorhome pointing towards the Slideout. B. Sufficient ventilation (return-air) must be supplied to each interior Heat Exchanger; reference Figures 7 and 8. NOTES: 1. Mounting Heat Exchangers without sufficient ventilation will severely reduce their overall heating performance (heat output). 2. In order to provide sufficient ventilation, the “return-air” registers must be the same size, or larger, than the outlet-air registers. 3. “Return-Air” must be supplied from the corresponding interior heating zones. C. Allow for easy access to all Heat Exchangers for potential servicing and cleaning (e.g., dust, etc.). Reference Figures 10 and 12 for allowable Cozy-III mounting configurations.

Please reference Section 3.6 and use Figures 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13 for mounting information. Plumbing the Heat Exchangers Overview Once all Heat Exchangers have been mounted, a plan should be formulated for the routing of the Plumbing Lines from each heating zone to the Aqua-Hot. The Plumbing Lines are the roadways that carry the antifreeze and water heating solution from the Aqua-Hot to the Heat Exchangers in each heating zone; reference Figures 2 and 7. Adhering to the guidelines listed below will ensure maximum heating performance (heat output): A. The Kitchen and Living Room Heat Exchangers (typically three) must be plumbed together in-series on “Heating Loop #3.” Be sure to reference Figure 2 and the “Generalized Motorhome Heating System Floorplan” in Section 3.4 for additional information. B. The Fresh Water Tank and Bathroom Heat Exchangers (typically two) must be plumbed together in-series on “Heating Loop #2.” Be sure to reference Figure 2 and the “Generalized Motorhome Heating System Floorplan” in Section 3.4 for additional information. C. The Bedroom Heat Exchanger (typically one) is plumbed solely on “Heating Loop #1.” D. Use 5/8 in. I.D. (Inside Diameter) Plumbing Lines for all Heating Zones. E. Use wide-sweeping elbows or “Bend-Supports” whenever Plumbing Lines may be susceptible to kinking (i.e., 90° bends). 3.9 Installing the Interior/Fresh Water Tank Plumbing Lines 1. Prior to installing the Plumbing Lines, mark each line with arrows and/or labels at both ends. This can be done while the lines are being laid out in order to indicate which Heating Loop the Plumbing Lines pertain to (i.e., Heating Loop 1, Heating Loop 2, or Heating Loop 3) and whether the Plumbing Line is a Supply or a Return line; reference Figures 2, 16A, and 16B. NOTES: A. All Plumbing Lines should be laid as flat as possible, and any extreme rises in height should be avoided. B. Run all Plumbing Lines in areas where they cannot be pinched off or damaged under normal operating conditions. C. Be sure to secure all Lines where necessary and apply protective shielding in areas where chafing may occur. D. Vehicle Systems suggests using Rubber Coated/Closed-Type Clamps when securing the Plumbing Lines. 2. Connect and clamp the Supply line from the Heater to the lowest port on each Heat Exchanger in each heating zone; reference Figures 2 and 14.

Because the Aqua-Hot heats the domestic water ondemand, there is no need for a separate Storage Type Water Heater. Adhering to the following guidelines will ensure maximum domestic hot water efficiency. A. The following information concerning the sizing of Water Supply Piping was taken directly from the ANSI A119.2/NFPA 501C Standard on Recreation Vehicles, 1993 Edition. This information should be used as a general guideline: “Piping Systems shall be sized to provide an adequate quantity of Water to each Plumbing Fixture at a flow rate sufficient to keep the Fixture in a clean and sanitary condition without any danger of back-flow or siphoning.” The size of Water Supply Piping and Branch Line shall not be less than shown in Table 4-6.5.1. NOTE: A Water Heater or Ice Maker shall not be counted as a Water-Using Fixture when computing pipe sizes. Table 4-6.5.1 Minimum Size Tubing and Pipe for Water Distribution Systems* Pipe Tubing * ** *** Number of Fixtures Inner Dia. (inches) Outer Dia.

NOTE: The Aqua-Hot is equipped with a Pressure-Relief Valve, which releases excessive pressure in the domestic water system, if necessary. Aqua-Hot™ Hydronic Heating System Installation Manual 07/05 Page 29 SECTION 3: INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Installing Domestic Hot Water Plumbing 3.13 Attaching Plumbing Lines to the Domestic Hot Water System The Aqua-Hot is equipped with a Tempering Valve, which regulates the temperature of the hot water; reference Figure 19. 1. Connect a domestic water Plumbing Line from the Domestic Water Demand Pump/Water Manifold to the Cold Water Inlet port on the Aqua-Hot; reference Figures 19 and 20. NOTE: Please note that it may be necessary to utilize an Accumulator Tank within the Domestic Water System; reference Figure 20. Although the Aqua-Hot is equipped with a Pressure-Relief Valve, the utilization of an Accumulator Tank will help prevent excessive “weeping” of the aforementioned valve, if applicable. Manufacturers of Pressure-Relief Valves indicate that excessive weeping of these valves will cause the “seat” in the valve to deteriorate, and, in turn, the valve will fail prematurely. For additional information regarding Accumulator Tanks, please be sure to reference the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association’s (RVIA) technical publication titled “Recreational Vehicle Plumbing Systems.” To obtain a copy of this particular publication, please contact RVIA at (703) 620-6003 or visit them online at www.rvia.org. Connect a domestic water Plumbing Line from the Aqua-Hot’s Hot Water Outlet port to the hot water system’s Distribution Lines/Water Manifold; reference Figures 19 and 20. 2. Figure 19 Hot Water Outlet (Domestic Water) Electronic Controller Overview 3.14 Cold Water Inlet (Domestic Water) Tempering Valve Pressure Relief Valve Electronic Controller Overview The Aqua-Hot utilizes an Electronic Controller (E.C.) to monitor specific heater activities, supply electrical power to specific internal and external components, and control the overall operation of the heater. The following are important installation details regarding the Electronic Controller. Please read this section thoroughly for specific details. NOTE: Please reference Appendix A for specific wiring information pertaining to the precise model of Aqua-Hot being installed. A. All Electronic Controller Fan Power connections (and two switch connections) possess a “(+)” or a “(-)” symbol, which indicates that they are Polarity Sensitive. Therefore, be sure to use care when wiring these particular components to the Electronic Controller.

All Electronic Controller Thermostat and Switch connections (excluding two) possess an “(I)” or an “(O)” symbol. The “(O)” symbol indicates a positive 12 Volt-DC output to a particular Thermostat or Switch, while the “(I)” symbol indicates a positive 12 Volt-DC input signal from a particular Thermostat or Switch. The 12 Volt-DC output signal is always present as long as the Electronic Controller is powered by a 12 Volt-DC Power Source, while the 12 Volt-DC input signal is only present whenever a Switch is activated or whenever a Thermostat is “calling for heat”; reference Appendix A. C. Each heating zone “FAN” circuit can supply up to 2.0 Amps of Direct Current. This 12 Volt-DC allows for multiple Cozy III Heat Exchangers to be wired “in-parallel” (e.g., Heating Zone 5); reference Figure 2, Appendix A, and the “Generalized Motorhome Heating System Floorplan” in Section 3.4. D. Heating Zone 5 is reserved electrically for the “Living Room/Kitchen Heating Zone” (Heating Loop 3) ONLY; Heating Zones 2, 3, and 4 are reserved electrically for the “Bathroom, Fresh Water, and Optional Heating Zone” Tank Heating Zone” (Heating Loop 2) ONLY. Heating Zone 1 is reserved electrically for the “Bedroom Heating Zone” (Heating Loop 1) ONLY. Reference Figure 2. E. All Switch connections are to be wired directly to the Aqua-Hot’s “Switch Panel Connections”; reference Figures 23A, 23B, 24A, and 24B and Appendix A. Both the “IND-LT(+)B3” and the “IND-LT(-)B6” connections are reserved electrically ONLY for the “Diesel” Switch connections. F. The Aqua-Hot’s Electronic Controller is designed to work with most Electronic Room Thermostats; however, the chosen Thermostat must produce a constant 12 Volt-DC output signal and must receive its 12 Volt-DC Power Supply from the Aqua-Hot’s Electronic Controller (i.e., “THERM O”). This will ensure that the Thermostat/Electronic Controller is properly fuse protected. G. Be sure to use the wire colors illustrated in Appendix A. This will ensure installation consistency, differentiate the separate Heating Zones, and assist Service Personnel with troubleshooting. H. The Electronic Controller can be either recessed or surface mounted. Cut out an opening of 7.25 inches x 10.25 inches for recessed mounting and be sure to utilize all four mounting tabs. NOTES: Wiring Interior/ Bay Heat Exchangers 3.15 A. Be sure to fasten the wire harness connections to the Electronic Controller by securing the screw-type fasteners on the Terminal Strip/Plug of the Wiring Harness to the Header on the Electronic Controller. B. Be sure to secure the wire harness connections at the Electronic Controller by clamping the wire harness permanently into place. Wiring the Interior and Fresh Water Tank Heat Exchangers The Aqua-Hot’s Electronic Controller is designed to supply 12 Volt-DC Electrical Power, as well as a ground source (negative), to all Interior and Fresh Water Tank Heat Exchangers. Therefore, whenever a particular heating zone Thermostat “calls for heat,” the Aqua-Hot’s Electronic Controller will output a 12 Volt-DC power supply and provide ground to each Heat Exchanger in that heating zone. NOTE: DO NOT use a “chassis ground” as a ground source for any of the Heat Exchangers. Ground MUST BE supplied by the Aqua-Hot’s Electronic Controller. Aqua-Hot™ Hydronic Heating System Installation Manual 07/05 Page 32 SECTION 3: INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Wiring Interior/ Bay Heat Exchangers, continued Mounting Locations for Interior Thermostats 1. Run two 16 Gauge Wires, Red for (+) and Black for (-), from each particular Heating Zone’s Heat Exchanger(s) to the Aqua-Hot’s Electronic Controller. NOTE: For heating zones with multiple Heat Exchangers (e.g., Living Room/Kitchen/Heating Loop 1, etc.), run two wires from the closest Heat Exchanger to the Aqua-Hot’s Electronic Controller and then wire the other Heat Exchangers in-parallel; reference Figure 9 and Appendix A. 2. Label the wires indicating the heating zone they pertain to (e.g., Living Room/ Kitchen, Bedroom, Fresh Water Tank, etc.) 3. Insert all Heat Exchanger wires into the appropriate terminal/heating zone location on the Electronic Controller (e.g., “#3 FAN +/#3 FAN -,” for the Fresh Water Tank Heating Zone, etc.); reference Appendix A. 4. Connect all Electronic Controller “FAN” wires to the positive and negative leads of each Heat Exchanger; reference Figure 9 and Appendix A. 3.16 Mounting Locations for Interior Room Thermostats Overview The mounting locations for the Interior Thermostats and/or the Electronic Thermostat’s Temperature Sensors should be selected carefully to ensure even-heat distribution throughout each heating zone. A. Locate each Thermostat at approximately chest level, if applicable. NOTE: Do not mount the thermostat where it can be affected by: - drafts or dead spots behind doors and in corners - hot or cold air from ducts - radiant heat from the sun or appliances - heat from concealed pipes and chimneys - unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall behind the thermostat Wiring Interior Thermostats 3.17 1.

Cut the Supply line at the Fuel Filter mounting location and connect the Fuel Lines as illustrated in Figures 28A and 28B. 3.23 Overview and Installation of the Aqua-Hot’s Exhaust System WARNING: The Aqua-Hot’s exhaust is hot and must be kept away from any heat sensitive material. DO NOT direct exhaust downward as a fire may result when parked in dry, grassy areas. In addition, the exhaust must not terminate beneath the vehicle or beneath an openable window or vent. Refer to “Internal Combustion Engine Exhaust Pipe Termination” Section 3-4.3 in the RVIA Standards Manual for additional exhaust system information. ! A. The exhaust must be able to freely exit away from the vehicle without any obstructions. B. Run the Exhaust Pipe to the driver’s side of the vehicle and ensure that the exhaust fumes cannot enter into the passenger compartment. NOTES: 1. The Exhaust System MUST NOT terminate beneath the vehicle. Failure to conform will void the Aqua-Hot’s UL listing. 2. Angle the Exhaust Pipe towards the rear of the vehicle so that the exhaust fumes will naturally move away while the vehicle is in motion. C. DO NOT terminate the Exhaust Pipe within the awning area of the Motorhome, if applicable. Be sure to keep the exhaust away from the slideout areas. Reference RVIA’s ANSI/NFPA 1192 Handbook for additional information. D. From the Aqua-Hot’s 1-1/2 inch (F) NPT Exhaust Port, use a 1-3/4 inch I.D. (Inside Diameter) Exhaust Pipe; reference Figure 29. NOTES: 1. Be sure to use standard Automotive Type Exhaust piping and avoid bends, if possible. 2. The total length of Exhaust Pipe should not exceed 12 feet. Should your particular application require more than 12 feet of Exhaust Pipe, please contact Vehicle Systems’ Product Application Support Department at 1-800-685-4298 for assistance. 3. A maximum of two 90° Exhaust Pipe bends is allowed. E. A condensation drain must be provided in the exhaust system. This can be accomplished by drilling a small hole (approximately 1/8 inch diameter) at the Exhaust Pipe’s lowest point (slightly sloping the Exhaust Pipe away from the Aqua-Hot will achieve the same results); reference Figure 29. F. Be sure to secure the end of the Exhaust Pipe to the vehicle with the proper Exhaust Hanger/support hardware.

A. Do not activate the Aqua-Hot’s Diesel-Burner until the antifreeze and water heating solution has been added to the Aqua-Hot’s Heat Tank and the heating system has been completely bled of air. Operating the Aqua-Hot without the antifreeze and water heating solution will cause serious damage to the Aqua-Hot’s Heat Tank. B. Do not connect the 12 Volt-DC Power or the Ground Wires to the Aqua-Hot if the Vehicle requires welding. Electrical welding will cause serious damage to the Diesel-Burner’s Controller and the Aqua-Hot’s Electronic Controller. NOTE: All Electric Installations, Systems, and Equipment must comply with Article 551, Part A and other Sections of NFPA 70, “National Electrical Code.” 1. Run two 10 Gauge wires, Red for (+) and Black for (-), from the Vehicle’s Batteries to the Aqua-Hot’s Electronic Controller; reference Appendix A and Figure 31. NOTES: A. If the combined length of the two 10 Gauge wires is in excess of 20 feet, reference Appendix B for proper wire gauge sizing. Please note that under full load conditions, the Aqua-Hot can draw as much as 15.33 Amps of VDC current. Because the Aqua-Hot is designed to shut down in the event that the VDC Voltage Level drops too low to properly operate, it is imperative that the proper wire gauge be determined and utilized. B. The maximum allowable voltage drop, for the 12 Volt-DC Aqua-Hot, is 0.75 Volts-DC. Please reference Appendix B to ensure proper wire gauge sizing is utilized. NOTE: Be sure to use the wire colors illustrated in Appendix A. This will ensure installation consistency, differentiate between the two Power Wires, and assist Service Personnel with troubleshooting. 2. Attach the VDC Power wires onto the appropriate terminal/battery connection on the Electronic Controller; reference Appendix A. 3. Connect both Power and Ground wires directly to the Vehicle’s batteries. NOTE: Be sure to protect against accidental shorting (i.e., chassis shorting) by incorporating a 25-Amp rated In-Line Fuse into the Power wire at the Battery location; reference Figure 31. NOTE: The Aqua-Hot’s Electronic Controller must be reset anytime VDC Power is disconnected and then reconnected to the heater. The Electronic Controller can be reset either by depressing the “Low Voltage Reset” button located on the Electronic Controller (use a thin, straight object to access the reset button through the small hole in the faceplate) or by turning OFF the “Diesel” switch on the Heater’s Interior Switch Panel for approximately 30 seconds, then turning the switch back ON. Reference Figure 32 for the location of the “Low Voltage Reset” button on the Electronic Controller.

Propylene glycol is a safer alternative to the more toxic ethylene glycol antifreeze; however, as mandated by IAPMO (International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials), only those propylene glycol based “boiler” type antifreezes deemed “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) by the FDA can be utilized. NOTE: Because of the significant impact various types of antifreeze can have on a Hydronic Heating System - including the level of safety provided, Vehicle Systems, Inc. has recognized a need to provide an explanation regarding two additional prominent types of antifreeze/coolant available. The following information should be utilized as an educational means of ensuring that the proper type of propylene glycol based antifreeze is selected: RV & Marine Antifreeze: These types of propylene glycol based antifreeze products are formulated specifically for “winterizing” applications only. Although RV & Marine antifreeze is often “Generally Recognized as Safe” by the FDA, it should never be used in the Aqua-Hot’s Hydronic Heating System. This type of antifreeze is not formulated to transfer heat, which is essential to the Heating System’s functionality and does not contain rust inhibitors. Automotive Antifreeze/Coolant: These type of propylene glycol based antifreeze products are formulated specifically to protect automotive engines against corrosion, freezing temperatures, and overheating. They also have excellent heat transfer and thermal conductivity characteristics. Although these types of antifreeze products are considered less toxic and safer than ethylene glycol for people, pets, and the environment, they are not “GRAS” (Generally Recognized as Safe) rated by the FDA. Therefore, they must be marked with a “harmful if swallowed warning. This additional warning is required because these types of antifreeze products contain high levels of chemical rust inhibitors. Due to their potentially hazardous properties, they should never be used in the Aqua-Hot’s Hydronic Heating System. Prior to bleeding the Aqua-Hot Hydronic Heating System with the proper solution of antifreeze and water, it is recommended that the plumbing system be tested for potential leaks. The following instructions detail how to properly perform a plumbing system pressure test: A. Remove the Aqua-Hot’s Radiator Cap and replace it with a ”Cooling System Pressure Tester”; reference Figure 33. Please note that these types of Pressure Testing products can typically be obtained from a local Automotive Parts Supplier. B. Apply 15 pounds (PSI) of air pressure to the Aqua-Hot’s Hydronic Heating System. NOTE: DO NOT exceed 15 PSI of air pressure, as this could cause damage to the internal plumbing components of the Aqua-Hot. C. Allow the air pressure to remain in the plumbing system for a minimum of 30 minutes. D. After the minimum 30 minute interval has expired, check the “Cooling System Pressure Tester’s” gauge for any loss of pressure. Aqua-Hot™ Hydronic Heating System Installation Manual 07/05 Page 51 SECTION 3: INSTALLATION PROCEDURES System Bleeding, continued NOTE: Should it be discovered that a loss of pressure has occurred, be sure to check all plumbing system connections for leaks (air leaks, in the form of bubbles, can be visually detected by applying a solution of soapy water to each plumbing system connection). E. If applicable, repair all plumbing leaks. 1. Remove the Aqua-Hot’s Fill/Radiator Cap and completely fill the Heat Tank by pouring in 16 gallons of a 50/50 antifreeze and water heating solution. NOTE: As antifreeze itself does not possess acceptable heat transfer characteristics, water is added to the antifreeze due to its excellent heat conduction properties. In order to provide the best freeze protection, boil-over protection, and anti-corrosion and rust protection, a 50/50 mixture ratio of propylene glycol antifreeze and water is recommended to provide the best performance combination of the aforementioned functions. If excess propylene glycol exists within an antifreeze and water heating solution, the water’s heat absorption properties are compromised, which could ultimately inhibit the Aqua-Hot Hydronic Heating System from providing adequate domestic hot water and interior heating. Also, if there is a shortage of antifreeze, the Aqua-Hot Hydronic Heating System is not as well protected in terms of freeze protection and anti-rust/anti-corrosion protection. 2. Replace the Aqua-Hot’s Fill/Radiator Cap, but do not tighten completely. NOTE: The Fill Radiator Cap should remain loose during the Bleeding and Filling Procedure in order to allow air to escape from the top portion of the Aqua-Hot’s Heat Tank. 3. To activate one of the Aqua-Hot’s Circulation Pumps, switch ON any Interior Zone Thermostat to its maximum temperature setting. Allow the Circulation Pump to operate for approximately one minute, then switch it OFF. This will fill the Heating System’s plumbing lines. 4. Again, remove the Aqua-Hot’s Fill/Radiator Cap and completely fill the Heat Tank with additional antifreeze and water heating solution. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all Heating Loops until all air has been completely bled from the entire Hydronic Heating System. 6. Once all air has been bled from the Hydronic Heating System and the Aqua-Hot’s Heat Tank has been completely filled, completely tighten the Fill/Radiator Cap. Domestic Water System Bleeding 3.27 Bleeding the Domestic Water System NOTE: Verify that the Domestic Water Tank is full prior to bleeding the Fresh Water System. 1. Ensure that the Domestic Water Pump has 12 Volt-DC power, then activate the Domestic Water Pump by opening all water faucets separately. 2. Once the Domestic Water System is completely bled, check for leaks. Aqua-Hot™ Hydronic Heating System Installation Manual 07/05 Page 52 SECTION 3: INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Pressure the Aqua-Hot Heating System to 15 PSI, then, allow the air pressure to remain for 30 minutes and check for loss of pressure. Figure 33 Should a loss of pressure occur, check the connections at each Heat Exchanger using a soapy water solution, and watch for bubbles to appear, which indicates an air leak. Aqua-Hot™ Hydronic Heating System Installation Manual 07/05 Page 53 SECTION 3: INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Bleeding the Engine Preheat System 3.28 Bleeding the Engine Preheat System 1. Ensure that the Engine’s Coolant System has been completely refilled. 2. Start and run the Engine until it reaches normal operating temperatures. 3. Turn the Engine OFF. 4. Check the engine coolant level and top off, if necessary. 5. Turn ON the “Preheat” switch located on the Switch Panel. During this procedure, check for leaks in the Engine Preheat plumbing system and connections. 6. Move the “Preheat” switch to the OFF position by pressing it in a downward motion. VAC Power Installation 3.29 Connecting 120 Volt-AC Power to the Aqua-Hot WARNING: Do not activate the Aqua-Hot’s Electric Heating Element until the antifreeze and water heating solution has been added to the Aqua-Hot’s Heat Tank and the heating system has been completely bled of air. Operating the Aqua-Hot without the antifreeze and water heating solution will cause serious damage to the Aqua-Hot’s Heat Tank. ! NOTE: All Electric Installations, Systems, and Equipment must comply with Article 551, Part A and other Sections of NFPA 70, “National Electrical Code.” 1. For Aqua-Hot Model AHE-100-04S: Run one 12-2 ROMEX wire, with Ground, from an over-current protected (20 Amp Circuit Breaker required) 120 Volt-AC power supply to the Aqua-Hot’s VAC Service Input; reference Figure 34A. For Aqua-Hot Model AHE-130-04X: Run two 12-2 ROMEX wires, with Ground, from two over-current protected (25-Amp Circuit Breaker required) 120 Volt-AC power supplies to the Aqua-Hot’s VAC Service Input; reference Figure 34B. 2. Insert the wire(s) through the Aqua-Hot’s ROMEX Clamp and connect the 120 Volt-AC Power supply to the Aqua-Hot’s Electric Heating Element wires as illustrated in Figure 34A for the AHE-100-04S Model or Figure 34B for the AHE-130-04X Model.

Initial Activation of the Aqua-Hot Move the Aqua-Hot’s “Diesel” switch to the ON position. Do this by pressing the switch in an upward motion. NOTE: Activate the “Diesel” switch for approximately five seconds ONLY and then switch it OFF. This procedure will purge the Diesel-Burner’s fuel system by allowing the Heater’s Fuel-Pump to operate for approximately three minutes during its normal shutdown/purge cycle. After the three minute purge cycle has ended, repeat this procedure once more. 2. Move the Aqua-Hot’s “Diesel” switch to the ON position and leave it on. This procedure will activate the Diesel-Burner and the Indicator Light circuit of the switch. NOTES: A. It will take approximately 30 seconds before the Diesel-Burner will ignite and exhaust can be heard exiting the heater. B. Allow approximately 10-20 minutes for the Aqua-Hot to reach normal operating temperature (approximately 195°F). 3. Because the number and voltage of the Electric Elements vary by model, locate the Marking Plate on the Aqua-Hot (reference Figure 1 for the Marking Plate locations, as well as Figure 3 for additional information) to determine which model is employed. Follow the Electric Element activation instructions below. AHE-100-04S Move the Aqua-Hot’s “Electric” switch to the ON position. This will supply 120 Volt-AC Power to the Aqua-Hot’s Electric Heating Element. AHE-130-04X Move the Aqua-Hot’s “Electric” switch to the ON position and move the “High/Low” switch to the “High” position. This will supply 120 Volt-AC power to both Electric Heating Elements. NOTE: Both the 12 Volt-DC powered Diesel-Burner and all Electrical Heating Elements are thermostatically controlled. Either or both heating sources will automatically maintain the temperature of the Aqua-Hot’s antifreeze and water heating solution. 4. Once the Aqua-Hot has reached its normal operating temperature of approximately 195°F, switch ON each Interior and Fresh Water Tank Thermostat to their maximum temperature settings. This procedure will activate all Interior and Fresh Water Tank Heat Exchangers in each particular heating zone. 5. The Aqua-Hot is now ready for normal operation and use.
