Fuse
For 12 V use the refrigerator is protected by a fuse installed in the gene- ral electrical circuit of the vehicle. If the fuse bums out, trace the cause and correct it before fitting a new lo amp. fuse.
Steps To Take When The Refrigerator Has Not Been Used For A Long Period
If there has been a heavy rain, or the vehicle has been through a car wash, water may have collected in the burner housing. This must be_ removed before the gas is lit. For this, the sealing plug underneath the front of the refri- gerator on the left is unscrewed from the drainage tube and the water is allowed to escape. The sealing plug must then be carefully refitted since a good seal is essential for the proper function of the combustion system._ Check that the windscreen of the outside wall of the van is clean and remove any dirt that is present.
Pilot Outage
It has been determined that this problem can be causedbya poor seal between the slide for ventilation housing "E" (Fig.2) and the side wall of the ve- hicle.
When properly sealed, this plate acts as a baffle to protect the exhaust out- let tube from direct air flow. If this seal is not complete, air will be allowed to flow between the plate and the side wall of the vehicle directly into the exhaust outlet tube.
This problem can be caused by failure to tighten the mount "D" (Fig. 2) screws properly, a bad gasket "F" (Fig.2) or a warped locating plate "E" (Fig. 2).
Periodic Maintenance
Once or twice a year, depending on use, it is necessary to clean and adjust the burner assembly.
The burner ist fitted with a # 24 jet, which is suitable for use on Propane or Butane gas at a supply pressure of 11 inches water column pressure. The orifice in the jet is very small and must never be cleaned by means of a pin or a similar instrument for this will damage the orifice. Should, for some reason, the jet require cleaning, it should be washed in alcohol and blown dry with air.
The entire gas installation should be checked for leaks. Test all pipe connec- tions with soapy water, not with an open flame.
