Owner
One of the biggest advantages to your new RV Products air
conditioner is that the maintenance needed to keep the unit in
good care is minimal. In fact about the only thing you, the
owner, must take care of is the cleaning and replacement of the
filters.
The filter is a vital part of every air conditioning system. If the
filters are not cleaned at regular intervals, they may become
clogged with lint, dirt, grease, etc. A clogged filter will
produce a loss of air volume and may eventually cause an
icing-up of the cooling (evaporator) coil.
IMPORTANT
Do not operate your air conditioner for extended periods of
time without the filter installed.
An even more serious condition occurs when the air
conditioner is operated without a filter. When this happens
the lint, dirt, grease, etc. that are normally stopped by the
filter are now accumulating in the cooling coil. This not only
leads to a loss of air volume and a possible icing-up of the
cooling coil, but could also result in serious damage to the
operating components of the air conditioner.
We recommend that the filters be cleaned or changed at least
every two weeks when the air conditioner is in operation.
A.
Cleaning and/or changing the filters.
1.
Remove the Selector Switch and Thermostat
knobs from ceiling assembly.
2.
Remove the two screws that secure the
ceiling assembly shroud to the ceiling
assembly. See Figure 5.
3.
Lower the shroud and gently slide it off the
control knob shafts.
4.
Take filters out and either clean or exchange
with other filters. See Figure 5.
If replacement filters are necessary, the filters can be
purchased from most RV Products Authorized
Service Centers. It is recommended that spare filters
be carried with the RV at all times to replace worn,
torn or deteriorated filters.
5.
Replace the filters and reinstall the ceiling
shroud in reverse order starting with Step 3.

Electrical - All electrical work and/or inspection
should be performed only by qualified service
personnel. Contact your nearest RV Products Service
Center if electrical problems should arise.
B.
Check Points - Failure to start or to cool the air are
sometimes problems with air conditioning units. The
RV Products air conditioner is designed to operate on
115 volt electrical power. If the compressor on the air
conditioner fails to start, check with your RV
Products Service Center to determine that the proper
wire size is connected to the unit, the proper circuit
breakers are installed as protection devices on the
electrical circuit and the proper sized extension cord
is being used for the distance covered from the utility
outlet to the RV. The required minimum wire size is
#12 AWG for lengths up to 25 feet (larger wire size for
greater distances). Each air conditioning unit must be
protected with a 20 amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker.
If the air conditioner continues to trip off the circuit
breaker, have an electrician check the starting
amperage and running amperage on the unit. The
amperage figures for a particular air conditioner by
model number are shown in the specification table
found on page 2 of this booklet. If the circuit breaker
continues to trip off and the electrical consumption is
found to be normal, it will require the replacement of
the faulty circuit breaker.
If all electrical power to the air conditioner is normal
but neither the fan or the compressor will operate, the
connector plug located behind the ceiling assembly
control box should be checked to determine whether
it is faulty.
Mechanical Integrity - The air conditioner should be
C.
inspected periodically to be sure that the bolts which
secure the unit to the roof are tight and in good
shape. Also, an examination of the plastic shroud
covering the air conditioner on the top of the roof
should be made periodically. Be sure the four acorn
nuts are secure, also examine the shroud to be sure it
is not developing cracks or has suffered damage from
impact.
