SERVICE INSPECTION

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Annual service / inspection record

In order to comply with the warranty, you must have your motorhome inspected and serviced in accordance with the warranty.

We highly recommend that you have your Motorhome serviced by a Swift Group Approved Service Centre who have direct access to our online Customer Service system, Connect. This system provides them with the ability to order approved parts and ensure that any product upgrades which may be available for your Motorhome can be

oered to you and carried out as part of the

service. In the unfortunate event that an issue requires attention under warranty then a Swift Group Approved Service Centre are able to submit a warranty claim to the Swift Group for processing, and deal with the issue for

you from start to nish. All of our Swift Group

Approved Service Centres are provided with up to date technical information and have access to current repair methods giving you peace of mind that any defect has been repaired

eectively.

It is important that the owner’s handbook is stamped on the appropriate page by the authorised Swift Group Service Centre.

Failure to do this will invalidate the warranty and the transfer of the warranty on the change of ownership.

The inspection should take approximately two hours and will cover the areas dealt with in the annual service check list. Any areas requiring service and/or maintenance will be highlighted by your dealer and we recommend that you authorise any necessary work to be carried out.

Just as the engine/gearbox/roadwheels need

regular servicing by your chassis dealer, so there are components in your conversion that need regular maintenance by your motorhome dealer.

These include the gas and electrical systems and the seals in the bodywork. Your dealer will complete the record in this handbook to show that the work has been carried out.

1. Damp and lamination test.

2. Chassis and chassis to body security.

work.

More people than ever before are exploring the countryside, interested in farming, plant life, bird watching or just observing the general wildlife. Whatever your interest, there is a lot to learn, but please observe the following code:

1. Guard against all risk of res. Hay and heathland catch alight easily and once

ablaze are very dicult to put out.

Remember: re spreads quickly.

2. Fasten all gates.

3. Keep your dog under proper control.

4. Keep to the paths across farm land.

5. Avoid damaging fences, hedges and walls.

6. Leave no litter.

7. Safeguard water supplies.

8. Protect wildlife, wild plants and trees.

9. Go carefully on country roads.

10. Respect the life of the countryside. The Coastal code

The coastal code

As our coastlines are increasingly used for

recreation and education, the following

suggestions are made to enable us to enjoy our inheritance and preserve it for posterity.

Do not trample about, or move rocks

unnecessarily.

Do not frighten seals or seabirds.

Do not spill detergents, solvents or fuel from

boats as these can kill marine life.

When sailing, moderate your speed - the wash from a fast boat can destroy banks and nests.

Live molluscs and crustaceans need not be collected as souvenirs - dead shells can usually be found.

Shellsh can take years to grow and nes

can be imposed for not observing national regulations.

Do not pull up seaweeds unnecessarily. Make your visit instructive - not destructive.

Look at material - don’t remove it. Take notes and photographs, not specimens.

Observe by-laws and be considerate to others.

National Trust property and Country Parks have regulations to protect the wildlife. Follow these and the Country and Coastal Codes.

When measuring the noseweight it is important that the trailer is loaded.

The trailer is intended to be towed slightly nose heavy. The nose weight can be adjusted by distribution of the load. The nose weight should be approximately 7% of the actual laden weight (but not greater than the hitch capacity) and at the same time suit the motorhome requirements. See ‘Advice on Towing’ page 28.

Loading of vehicle

WARNING: Loads must not be exceeded.

The driver is responsible for arranging the loads so that they comply with the technical

weight limits of the specic motorhome

model.

See Technical handbook.

Correct weight distribution is an important factor in ensuring your vehicle is well balanced and easy to drive. It is therefore necessary to load your motorhome carefully making sure all heavy articles are evenly distributed and are preferably placed in the lower lockers or bed boxes.

WARNING: Do not travel with televisions

or microwaves in overhead lockers unless

the appliance was supplied tted to your

motorhome by the manufacturer.

Although it is essential to ensure that the total weight of your motorhome does not exceed the stipulated Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass, (MTPLM), it is important to remember that the front and rear axles also have individual maximum weights which must not be exceeded.

To ensure adequate road holding the load on

the front axle, under all conditions, must not

be less than 40% or more than 70% of the total weight.

Ensure you distribute the payload equally on

each side of the vehicle to avoid an imbalance.

TYRES & PASSENGER SEATING

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

These weights, together with the MTPLM, can

be found on the statutory plate axed to the

forward edge side sliding door.

WARNING: Turn o all gas appliances

while the vehicle is in motion. If a en-route

heating system is tted isolate all appliances

except the heater.

WARNING: Please take care to ensure you have allowed for the masses of all the items you intend to carry in your motorhome e.g. passengers, optional equipment, essential

habitational equipment and personal eects

such as clothing, food, pets, bicycles, sailboards and sports equipment etc.

Note: Care must be taken to ensure that exterior doors are closed, locked and that all possessions are properly stored and secured

before setting o on any journey.

Large storage areas

The large storage areas provided in some motorhome layouts are designed solely for the purpose of carrying personal possessions, these areas must not be used:

• As a habitation area (eg living, sleeping or cooking).

• To carry passengers, animals or livestock.

• For the installation (or use) of any LPG gas

operated appliances (unless supplied tted by

the manufacturer).

• For carrying LPG gas cylinders.

• To carry any ammable liquids, unless properly stored, sealed and secured.

• For the operation of an electrical generator.

• In such a way that the load exceeds the MTPLM, and/or minimum and maximum axle loads.

Care must be taken to ensure that exterior doors are closed, locked and that all possessions are properly stored and secured

before setting o on any journey.

Tyres

If a wheel or tyre is changed any replacement must be of the same type of construction and size.

The law requires that the tyres and pressures must be suitable for the use to which they are being put. The minimum tread depth must be 1.6mm throughout a continuous band comprising the centre three-quarters of the breadth of the tread and around the circumference of the tyre.

Please refer to the base vehicle manufacturer’s handbook for tyre pressure information. This may also be displayed in the driver’s or passenger’s door aperture.

The motorhome tyre pressure noted in the Technical book are the pressures stated by Fiat for your vehicle calculated in a fully laden condition. If you are not running fully laden, reduced pressures could be used but please

seek clarication from the tyre manufacturer.

Dedicated travelling passenger seating

Seat belts are tted to all travelling seats.

Travelling seats are designated by the manufacturer and vary according to the layout

you have purchased. Each seat is homologated

i.e. tested to all relevant safety requirements.

NEVER travel in or attempt to install a seatbelt

to a non-designated seat.

WARNING: Side facing seats are designed for habitational use only, not for when the vehicle is in motion.

Seat belts and legislation

Designated driver and passenger seats are

tted with seat belts and MUST be worn when

travelling.

All children up to 135cm (4’5”) in height, or 12

years of age, whichever is reached rst must

use a child car seat or booster seat suitable for their age and weight.

Children over 135cm (4’5”) in height or aged 12 years and over must wear a seat belt.

Note: It is the legal responsibility of the driver To ensure children aged up to 14 years old are suitably restrained.

For passengers aged 14 and over, it is their responsibility (not the driver) that a seat belt is worn.

Seat belts are tted for your safety and must be worn unless a ‘Certicate of Exemption from

Compulsory Seat Belt Wearing’ is held. This

Certicate must be produced if asked for by the Police – seat belt oences can result in a ne.

Child seats

Choosing/Buying

Go to a reputable retailer such as Halford’s,

Mothercare, John Lewis etc. Most reputable

retailers will have trained child seat advisers

on site and will oer a tting service. Ask the advisor to t various seats to the vehicle. Once a correctly tted seat has been installed, satisfy

yourself on it’s suitability for your child and the vehicle before buying as it is important to use a

correctly tting seat in your motorhome.

WARNING: The child seat you use in your car may not be suitable for mounting on a motorhome seat.

WARNING: Choose the right seat for your child’s height and weight.

Height-based seats

Height-based seats are known as ‘i-Size’ seats. They must be rear-facing until your child is over 15 months old. Your child can use a forwardfacing child car seat when they’re over 15 months old.

You must check the seat to make sure it’s suitable for the height of your child.

Only EU-approved height-based child car

seats can be used in the UK. These have a label

showing a capital ‘E’ in a circle and ‘R129’.

Weight-based seats

The seat your child can use (and the way they must be restrained in it) depends on their weight.

Only EU-approved weight-based child car

seats can be used in the UK. These have a label

showing a capital ‘E’ in a circle and ‘ECE R44’.

You may be able to choose from more than one type of seat in the group for your child’s weight.

For more information visit www.gov.uk

Never t or use a second hand car seat. It could

have been damaged and may not meet modern

standards. The tting instructions may also be

missing.

Positioning/Fitting

Dependant upon the child seat type, the most

suitable position for the child seat to be tted

may be the front passenger seat of the cab

(NOTE airbag advice on following page) or the

window seat of the forward facing rear seat. The isle seat in the rear is NOT a recommended position. Advice should always be taken from the retailer on the suitability and security of the seat in the motorhome. Read and follow the

child seat manufacturer’s instructions for tting

the seat.

All Swift motorhomes are tted with inertia reel

seat belts, however, the child seat must be tight in the adult seat. Push all your weight into the child seat as you tighten the belt.

Keep a copy of the child seat tting instruction

in the motorhome for easy reference.

Any doubts, ask an advisor to show you how to correctly install the seat.

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

Airbag

Never t a rear facing child restraint in a seat

with an active airbag in front of it.

Forward-facing child restraints should be positioned as far back from the airbag as possible. Check the base vehicle handbook.

Three point seat belts

This section refers to the seat belts located in the habitation area of your motorhome.

Fastening the seat belt:

Insert tongue into buckle; a positive ‘click’ indicates correct assembly.

Releasing the seat belt:

Press the red release button, the tongue will be ejected from the buckle.

• The belt is designed for use by one person and must not be put around a child seated on a person’s lap.

• The belt is suitable for restraining most child seats and boosters.

• The belt should at all times be adjusted and used in accordance with the instructions. No excessive slackness should be present.

• Once installed the diagonal should pass across the centre of the shoulder and the buckle should lie just on or below the hip.

• Avoid twisting the webbing during use. Webbing must not be allowed to chafe against sharp edges.

• Do not make alterations or additions to the belt.

• Belts that have been cut, frayed, damaged or stressed through impact should be replaced. After impact the motorhome anchorage points should also be checked.

• To clean use warm soapy water only.

• Periodic inspection of the installation will ensure reliability of the seat belt.

Driving licence

Licences issued to drivers who passed their

car driving test before 1st January 1997 include categories B+E and C1+E which gives

them entitlement to drive motor vehicles up to 7500kg MTPLM.

Drivers who passed their test on or after this date have category B entitlement only, which restricts the entitlement to motor vehicles with up to 8 passenger seats and an MTPLM of up to 3500kg with trailers up to 750kg MTPLM (4250kg gross train weight) or larger trailers providing the combination of the trailer and towing vehicle does not exceed 3500kg and the MTPLM of the trailer does not exceed the unladen weight of the towing vehicle.

Drivers who passed their test on or after the

1st January 1997 will need to take an additional test(s) to gain the C1+E entitlement.

Advice on towing

The towing capability of each motorhome

diers depending on the specic chassis and

engine types, (see ‘Towing Capabilities Table’ in

your specication section).

This table takes account of the maximum front and rear axle loadings as well as the minimum front axle loading in two conditions, MRO and MTPLM condition.

Towing in these, and any other condition requires sensible loading and distribution of payloads to ensure the requirements of the towing capability table are met.

When towing, the demands on both the vehicle and driver increase. A trailer reduces manoeuvrability, the ability to climb hills, acceleration and braking capacity and makes

the vehicle handle and corner dierently. It

will also increase the fuel consumption of the vehicle.

Always brake in good time. Special care must be taken when descending gradients. Change down before going down a steep hill so the

engine can act as a brake. Ensure that the

towing vehicle tyre pressures are correct and adjusted for full load conditions and that the trailer tyre pressures are as recommended by the trailer manufacturer. Regularly check the operation of trailer brakes and lights.

For maximum stability, when loading the trailer ensure that the loads are properly secured during transit. Position loads so that most of the

weight is placed close to the oor and, where

possible, immediately above or close to the axle(s). Where the load can be divided between

EUROPEAN TOURING

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

trailer and tow vehicle, loading more weight into the vehicle will generally improve the stability of the combination.

After loading the trailer, check that the nose weight and axle loads are in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, also check the rear and front axle loads on the motorhome. When calculating the laden weight of the trailer, remember to include the weight of

the trailer PLUS THE LOAD.

Note: Towing regulations vary from country to country. It is very important to ensure that national regulations governing towing weights and speed limits are observed (refer to the relevant national motoring organisation for information). The stated maximum permissible towing weights refer to the vehicle’s design limitations and NOT to any

specic territorial restrictions.

Notes:

1. Do not exceed the motorhome gross vehicle train weight.

2. Do not exceed the maximum front & rear axle loads on the motorhome.

3. Ensure the motorhome front axle load is never less than 40% or more than 70% of the total weight.

4. Motorhomes with an MTPLM up to 3500kg

which have European Type approval can only be tted with a type approved towbar complying to 94/20/EC or UN ECE R55.

5. The limit for towing an un-braked trailer is 750kg (based on VIN plate not actual weight), this applies to a towed car.

6. A car dolly with a car with a GVW over 750kg in place is considered as two trailers, these are legal for use for recovery but

under the Road Trac Regulations Act

1984 the combination is limited to 40 mph on motorways and dual carriageways and 20 mph elsewhere. A car dolly is not legal for transportation (there is a very

specic dierence between recovery and transportation. Recovery is dened as the

removal of a broken down vehicle to a place of safety).

7. The maximum permitted vehicle combination length is 18.75m, however any combination must ensure compliance with the turning circle requirements of

Construction and Use regulations 1986 & EU 1230/2012.

Note: Not all motorhomes are suitable for

towing and may not have sucient payload to permit towing. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

European Touring

Please note there are a number of requirements

placed on a driver when driving on European

roads. Carrying a warning triangle, high

visibility jacket, rst aid kit and spare bulb is now compulsory in many EU states but some EU countries are now introducing further

regulations such as carrying a breathalyser kit and not being able to use satellite navigation systems with speed camera warnings.

We would advise customers to check on the many web-sites available to ensure you are carrying the correct equipment when touring in

those EU countries

Fire Extinguisher

It is recommended that a dry powder re

extinguisher be carried inside your motorhome at all times.

When using a dry powder extinguisher it is suggested that the motorhome be evacuated until the powder has settled, to avoid inhalation.

A fat pan re should not have a re extinguisher aimed at it. It should be smothered with a re

VENTILATION / CO ALARM /

SECURITY

SAFETY AND SECURITY

Ventilation

All motorhomes comply with BS EN 721. The ventilation points on your motorhome are xed

points of ventilation which are required by the

European Standards.

All motorhomes have ventilation at high level and low level which have been calculated to suit the individual needs of your motorhome.

High level ventilation is achieved by means of the roof lights and washroom roof ventilators (where applicable). The low level ventilators are positioned under sink units.

Under no circumstances must these vents be blocked or obstructed in any manner as this

could lead to insucient fresh air. In this case the conned atmosphere becomes depleted of

oxygen which could lead to dangerous levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) build up leading to the risk of asphyxiation.

The risks of carbon monoxide (CO) build up, which is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas, will also be reduced with ventilation. Carbon monoxide is produced from incomplete combustion and should the CO detector be activated the cause of the incomplete combustion must be investigated prior to reusing the appliance in question.

It is advised that xed ventilation points are

checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a regular basis using a small brush and a domestic vacuum cleaner.

Additional night time ventilation is obtained by releasing the window catches and placing them in the second groove. Note the windows are not sealed from rain in this position.

As the ventilation levels are calculated to suit

each model requirements no modications

should be made which may result in reduced ventilation levels.

CO alarm

Your motorhome is tted with a Fireangel

CO- 9D Carbon Monoxide Alarm. To activate the alarm pull the disabling tab as shown in the above image. Please read the instructions for the alarm, which are available at the following location:

When power is supplied to the pump, it will draw water from the water tank, and pump it to the motorhome taps, shower and water heater.

The pump is tted with its own pressure switch,

and will continue to pump water, until the pressure of water on the output of the pump reaches a pre-set level. For this pressure to be achieved, the taps must be closed.

When the taps are opened, water will leave the tap via the spout, and the pressure in the pipes between the pump and the taps will reduce. Because of this reduction in pressure, the pressure switch on the pump will switch back on and the pump will again run to pump more water.

Close to the pump, the water under pressure is split into two paths:

1. Through blue water pipes routed directly to the cold connection of each tap.

2. To the water heater.

Water from the pump enters the bottom of

the water heater. Once the water lls the water

heater (typically 10 litres), water then leaves the water heater via a connection at the top of that water heater. This water, which is still under pressure, then routes to the hot connection of each tap via the red pipes.

To winterise the system please see separate details later in this handbook.

PRIMING & CLEANING

WATER SYSTEM

CONNECTING SERVICES

Priming the Water System.

1. Close the water tank drain valve or re-t the

drain bung. (Model specic)

2. Fill the water tank with water.

3. Close the water heater drain valve (see

boiler instructions in the tted equipment

section)

4. Open all the taps except the shower tap. Mixer taps should be opened in the central position so that both the hot and cold pipes

are purged of air. Ensure the tap spouts are

over the sinks.

5. Turn on the pump using the button on the control panel (See pump button in

paragraph 2.5 of the Electrics section).

6. Turn each tap o in turn as and when the air is expelled and the water runs smoothly from each tap. Move the mixer taps to hot and then cold to check that the air is out of both the hot and cold pipes before turning

them o.

7. Whilst holding the shower head down towards the shower drain, open the shower tap and shower head tap until all the air is expelled and the water runs smoothly. Turn

the shower taps o.

8. Top up the fresh tank with water.

Please note that priming the system will

automatically ll the water heater with water.

Please ensure all taps are fully turned o when

not in use (except when winterising).

Note: All tanks are tted with a breather which acts as an overow. Overlling a tank

will result in water being expelled from the

overow.

Cleaning water system

Clean the water system at the start and end of

the season with sterilising uid.

Sterilising

When cleaning the water system at the start or the end of the season it is advisable to use

a suitable sterilising uid available from your motorhome dealer. The uid must be suitable

for use with stainless steel components

Flush the system thoroughly to remove the

eective uid traces.

When water is rst introduced, or the water

supply in the internal tank, runs out, air will be present in the pipework. It is important that every tap is run to remove any air in the system before, for instance, the shower is used. Air left in pipework local to a tap can act as an

accumlator and aect the ratio of hot and cold water owing from other taps or shower mixers

in the system.

System care

Allowing water to freeze in the system may result in damage to the pump and plumbing system.

Non-Toxic antifreeze for potable water may be used with Truma pumps. Follow manufacturers recommendations.

Do not use automotive antifreeze to winterize potable water systems.

These solutions are highly toxic and may cause serious injury or death if ingested.

Sanitising

The water systems, and in particular storage tanks, in motorhomes are susceptible to contamination by bacteria if care is not taken with their use and cleaning. The symptoms caused by bacterial contamination are not purely limited to gastro-intestinal diseases, but may also manifest themselves as ear, nose, throat, eye or skin infections. It is therefore important that you carry out the following procedure prior to using the motorhome each

time, even if you boil or lter all water you use

for drinking.

WATER SYSTEM

Separate Water Containers

1. All water remaining in the container should be disposed of so that the container is empty.

2. The outside of the container should be thoroughly cleansed and washed down to remove any dirt, dust or other contaminant. Water at a suitably hot temperature containing an appropriate detergent is

CONNECTING SERVICES47CONNECTING SERVICES

recommended for this purpose.

3. Water should be put in the container, swirled around, then emptied out.

4. The container should then be totally lled with water containing an appropriate sterilant solution and allowed to stand for the recommended contact time.

5. The solution should be emptied from the container.

6. The opening of the container should be cleaned thoroughly with an appropriate prepared wipe impregnated witha sterilant.

7. The container should be inverted whilst stored overnight (if possible).

8. The container must be lled with mains water only and mains water only should be used for the above cleaning procedure.

9. On no account should garden hoses be

used to ll water tanks.The container should

be inverted whilst stored overnight (if possible).

For Systems:

1. Drain down the system (open all taps to allow air in, enabling the system to drain quickly).

2. Remove any water lters tted, and replace

with a short length of hose or empty lter cartridge (this will ensure the lter is not aected by the disinfectant/ sterilant

solution).

3. Fill the water system with a disinfectant/ sterilant solution (check that the solution at full strength appears at all taps/showers). Allow to stand for the recommended period of time.

4. Drain the system completely.

5. Thoroughly clean the outside of all taps/

connectors with a cloth soaked in the disinfectant/sterilant.

6. Flush the system through with clean drinking water until no traces of disinfectant/ sterilant can be detected at any tap.

Suitable sterilising chemicals are available from your motorhome dealer, accessory shop, chemist or home-brew shops. It is not, however, recommended to use bleach or

sodium metabisulphite.

Sterilising

Do not use products that contain aggressive agents for sterlising the water system. Always use products designed for stainless steel tanks available from your motorhome dealer.

Note: Never use the water heating system

when disinfectant/sterilising uid is present.

Doing so may damage the system.

Waste water system

1. The waste water holding tank is secured

below the oor of the motorhome, and is

gravity fed.

2. In order to eliminate unpleasant odours as much as possible, only smooth bore pipes are used.

Should the waste water tank be overlled, it is possible that waste water will backll the pipes

until it eventually appears in the shower tray. In order to prevent this, please monitor the water level gauges on the motorhome control panel. It is also possible to to enable a ‘waste tank full’ alarm, on the control panel.

The waste water tank is tted with an

electrically operated valve, which when opened will drain the contents of the waste water tank. The valve is controlled using the control panel above the motorhome entrance door, please see futher details in the Swift Command section of this handbook.

Fresh water system

1. All ttings, including the holding tank, water pipes, taps and connections are of food quality material (to BS6920) and therefore,

should not aect the quality of the water

used. It is recommended however, that the

system is ushed through twice before it is used for the rst time, and always cleaned/ ushed after it has stood unused for a

period of time (eg over the winter period). Care has been taken (using smooth bore pipes etc) to eliminate as many water traps as possible.

2. When lling the fresh water system remember to check that the water source is suitable for use as drinking water and, if you are using a hose pipe or water carrier, that it is also made from nontoxic materials (preferably food quality material).

3. The fresh water tank is tted with an

electrically operated valve, which will drain the contents of the fresh water tank. The valve is controlled using the control panel above the motorhome entrance door, please see futher detail in the Swift Command section of this handbook.

CLEANING WATER SYSTEM

CONNECTING SERVICES

Lockable water ller inlet

Fresh Water Tank

Your motorhome is tted with a water tank lled from the outside via a lockable water ller cap. When lling, use a hose manufactured from

non toxic material, to prevent tainting of the water. Remember, if the water heater has been drained it will require 10 litre (2.2 gal) of water

to ll it.

External 12v Fill Socket

Your motorhome is tted with an external 12v

socket which can be used to attach an external

12v tank lling pump.

WARNING: pressurised by a pump which will continue to operate until it senses a preset pressure in the system.

If the fresh water tank is completely empty the pump will be unable to pressurise the system and will operate continuously. In this situation it is essential that, in order to avoid

damage to the pump, it is switched o using

the pump isolator switch on the distribution panel until such time as the water tank has

been lled.

Tank heaters

Depending on specication, your motorhome may be tted with 12v tank heaters, designed

to prevent or reduce instances of freezing water

in tted water tanks.

If tank heaters are tted, they can be turned

on via the control panel feature of the Swift Command panel above the entrance door (see page 74). Turn this feature on when the external temperatures are low, and the tank heaters will

then turn on and o automatically.

Before heating each tank the system will check that the water level in each tank is at the 1/4

CLEANING WATER SYSTEM

level or higher (the heaters will not operate if the tank is ‘empty’). If the water level is appropriate, the heaters will then switch on and

o depending on temperature.

As the tank heaters check the water level in each tank, the fresh and waste water tank heaters can operate independently, for instance use of frost protect feature while the fresh tank is full, but waste tank is empty, would only result in the operation of the fresh tank

CONNECTING SERVICES

heater.

It is also possible to use the tank heaters enroute, i.e. while driving. With the control panel ON, turn on the tank heaters as described above. While the engine is running the control panel cannot be operated, however, the tank heater circuits will remain ON.

Please note that the heating elements use a

12V supply. With the engine o, and if used

without a mains hook up and charger operating, then leisure battery power consumption will be increased (see consumption table on page 63 for more information).

Pressure Switch

The purpose of a pressure switch is to monitor the pressure on the outlet side of the pump. When a tap is closed, and the pump continues to run, there is an increase of pressure in the system, and when that pressure reaches a pre-set limit, the pressure switch will turn the

pump o.

Pressure switch adjustment

pump. (Normally Grey upper section with White lower section/valve housing)

• All of the Truma/Flo-Jet pumps used by Swift are pre-set at 25psi - 31psi.

• To further adjust the pressure switch setting,

a cover cap must be rst be removed from

the end of the pump to reveal a pressure adjusting screw, as shown in the photos. A maximum of 1/4 turn clockwise or anti-clockwise, from the factory setting, is advised. Turning the screw clockwise 1/4 turn will increase the pressure switch cut-out pressure, turning the screw anti-clockwise will reduce the pressure setting.

Please note a second screw mounted below the cover cap is set in position with threadlock, this should not be disturbed

The pump may have to be removed to gain access to the adjusting screw. Drain the water

system before removing the pump. To remove the pump pull the blue taps at right angles to the pipe work and lift the pump out.

PRESSURE SWITCH TROUBLESHOOTING

CONNECTING SERVICES

Troubleshooting

Pump will not start, when the tap is opened:

• Check fuse(s).

• Check power source(s), and ensure there is

sucient voltage to run the pump.

• Ensure ‘pump’ LED is illuminated.

• Using a multi-meter, ensure there is power at the pump. If not, refer to your dealer as there maybe damaged cabling or a fault with the

CONNECTING SERVICES

fusebox.

• Is the pump hot? If so, allow to cool before retrying.

• Has the vehicle been stored over winter? was it correctly winterised? If no, the pump may have frozen, causing permanent damage.

• The pressure switch may need adjusting. (See pressure switch paragraph in this section for how to do this)

Pump runs, but will not pressurise system (i.e. no or little water being discharged from taps)

- Not Pulsing:

• Ensure that there is water in the fresh water tank.

• Check in-line lter is free from debris and

correctly tted.

• Ensure water system has been primed correctly, (see priming the water system page 45), and there are no air-locks present.

• Ensure there are no restrictions in the plumbing.

• Ensure the inlet side of the pump is watertight and not allowing air into the system.

• Using a multimeter check that the voltage is between 10 and 14.5 volts. If not, refer to your dealer.

Pump continues to run (for more than 5

seconds) after taps are closed or pump turns

on for no reason:

• Check for leaks on the high pressure side of the pump.

• Ensure water system has been primed correctly, as per the handbook, and there are no air-locks present.

• Ensure the pump is securely mounted.

• Ensure the piping on the high pressure side of the pump is in good condition (not blowing or deforming).

• The pressure switch may need adjusting. (See pressure switch paragraph in this section for how to do this)

Noisy or rough operation

• Check for leaks on the high pressure and low pressure side of the pump.

• Ensure that all pipes (especially those

• within 150mm of the pump) are not touching any furniture.

• Ensure the pump is securely mounted

Pump rapidly cycles (switches on or o) or water pulses from taps, including

temperature pulsing:

• Check for leaks on the high pressure and low pressure side of the pump.

• Ensure there are no restrictions in the plumbing

• The pressure switch may need adjusting. (See pressure switch paragraph in this section for how to do this)

WATER LEVEL SENSOR & CLEANING

CONNECTING SERVICES

Water level sensor & cleaning

Principle

The sensor, tted to Swift Group motorhomes are pre-tted to water tanks, and link to the control unit, via a pre-tted wiring harness. The

sensors, which consist of a number of stainless

steel rods or probes, at dierent lengths, are

immersed in the fresh or waste water, and use the conductivity of water, between the probes,

CONNECTING SERVICES

to provide a reading to the control unit.

The sensors are ‘digital’, in that while the conductivity (resistance) value can vary, the fusebox will register any conductivity between

the reference probe and the various dierent

length probes, indicating water present.

Normally, even if the rods are dirty, and providing the rods have not bridged by a foreign object, a circuit will still be delivered back to the control unit and a water level displayed.

Sensor cleaning

The rst step, in case of fault diagnosis, is

to clean the sensor rods. False water level readings at the control unit can be caused by calcium build-up or foreign objects within the

tank bridging the probes. (Especially with waste

tanks).

To clean sensor:

WARNING: Only use food safe plastic

mesh scourers, which are suitable for domestic use, for cleaning the sensor studs.

1. Remove the sensor from the tank

2. Check the probes for build up of contamination

3. Use clean soapy water

4. Place scourer in water to dampen

5. Apply scourer to the sensor probes withlimited pressure

6. Rub sensor probes removing contamination

7. Swill sensor probes with fresh clean water

8. Replace sensor into tank.

GAS

Gas

General information Gas Cylinders

Bottled Liqueed Petroleum Gas (LPG) is the

most convenient portable source of fuel for your vehicle.

The gas cylinder, cooking and heating appliances should be isolated when travelling

unless your motohome is tted with en-route

heating.

CONNECTING SERVICES

Regularly check exible gas hose, joints and

connections for tightness. Finally make sure

that each gas appliance is working eciently

to the recommendations of the appliance manufacturers.

The LPG system should be inspected annually by a competent person.

Only use gas cylinders that are located within their dedicated position within the gas bottle housing never extend the hose - hose lengths must not exceed 400mm.

Your vehicle is supplied with a wall mounted gas regulator plumbed inside the gas bottle compartment. The regulator and all appliances work at a harmonised 30mb pressure, which work with Butane and Propane gas.

Pressure regulation system in this vehicle

has a xed working pressure of 30 mbar with a ow rate of 1.5 kg/H and complies with the requirements of EN 12864 annex D.

We do not recommend the use of an inline LPG BBQ with the 1.5kg/H regulator when other LPG appliances are in use.

Gas Hoses

High-pressure hoses or pigtails as they are called must be used with the new style regulator.

High-pressure hoses incorporate a safety shut

o valve for the use of the en-route heating

system.

LPG cylinder i.e. Propane, Butane, BP and Camping Gaz cylinders all have unique bottle adaptor connections. It is important to check you have the correct hose and adaptor to suit your gas cylinders.

Push on hoses are no longer permitted under the latest regulations.

The high-pressure hoses have threaded connections and must be securely attached to the regulator and to the gas cylinder.

The hose connection to the pressure regulator relies upon a sealing washer(s) to maintain a gas tight joint, and it is essential to check that the washer is present, sound and correctly positioned prior to making the connection. The gas cylinder connection relies on a metal seating or bull nose connection to obtain a gas tight joint, therefore it is essential that the mating surfaces are clean and undamaged. In no case should a damaged valve or connection be used.

Ensure that there is a constant rise in the exible gas hose between the gas cylinder

outlet and the regulator elbow.

WARNING: Inspect exible gas hose(s)

regularly for deterioration and renew as necessary with the approved type, in any case no later than 5 years after the date of manufacture marked on the hose. When replacing the en-route hose ensure the new

hose incorporates a safety shut o valve

(Hose rupture protection)

WARNING: Ensure that the high pressure

hose is not excessively twisted or under stress when connected to the LPG cylinders and regulator.

WARNING: Always ensure the gas supply is isolated at the LPG cylinder (and not at the regulator) whilst the vehicle is in storage for any period. It is important to ensure that the high pressure gas hose has a continuous rise from the bottle cylinder to the regulator to allow any condensate to fall back into the gas bottle cylinder.

Cylinder compartment

Some cylinder compartments have four plastic

mouldings per cylinder position tted to the oor of the compartment that are designed to t both steel and BP Gas Light cylinders. Either

two straps are provided for retaining the

bodies of the cylinders at mid to high level or a single ‘holding ring’ strap is provided which secures the gas cylinder to the base of the compartment.

Types of gas

Propane

Propane is supplied in red, or partly red cylinders which have a female left hand threaded connector.

Scandinavian countries use the same connector.

Germany and Austria supply propane with a male connection.

Propane will work at temperatures as low as

-40°C and is therefore suitable for all winter motorhoming.

Note: Swift recommend that 6kg Calor propane gas bottles are used.

Butane

Butane is supplied in the U.K. in green or blue cylinders.

All these have a male left hand thread

EXCEPT for Camping Gaz which has a special

female right hand thread and Calor 7kg and 15kg and aluminium bottles which have a special clip-on connection.

Continental cylinders usually have a male left hand thread similar to but not identical with U.K. butane.

Butane is only suitable for use at temperatures down to 2°C but will not work below that.

TYPES OF GAS

& REGULATORS

CONNECTING SERVICES

Note: A hose suitable for use with propane has been supplied with your motorhome.

CHANGING GAS CYLINDER

Changing a gas cylinder

Please use the correct size spanner for the gas hose connectors as this will prevent damage to

the screw ttings and ensure that the tting is tightened suciently.

• Turn o gas appliances

• Close the empty gas cylinder’s valve

• Remove the high pressure hose from the gas

CONNECTING SERVICES

cylinder.

• Attach the high pressure hose to the full gas cylinder.

• Open the full cylinder’s valve.

• Press the hose-break safety device and the

gas-ow monitor.

Check the hose connection to the cylinder valve for leaks.

Operating instructions

Use of safety devices

1. Open cylinder valve

2. Firmly press the hose rupture protection (green button) on the high pressure hose for

about 5 seconds (g 1 item 1)

3. If the Yellow reset button (g 2, item 7) is not pressed (“not ready for operation” position), reset the crash sensor. To reset,

press the Yellow reset button (g 2, item 7) rmly, turning it slightly clock-wise, hold it

for 5 seconds and ensure that it stays in the

“ready for operation” position (gure 2).

If the re-set is not successful, use the Torx

(T20) screw aid (g 3, item 12) to support the

clockwise rotation.

En-route heating

An en-route heating system is installed with additional safety features.

WARNING: When re-fuelling your

motorhome, switch o the heater and close

the cylinder valve.

Safety features

• MonoControl CS regulator incorporating a

crash sensor which stops the gas ow in the

event of the motorhome being involved in a

GAS SAFETY ADVICE

CONNECTING SERVICES

Note: Modications, servicing and repairs must only be carried out by a competent service engineer.

Note: The regulator should be replaced no more than ten years after manufacture.

WARNING: To ensure the safe working of the en-route heating any replacement high pressure hoses must be of the same type as

originally tted. They must have the safety

valve to ensure that the gas does not leak out in the event of damage to the gas pipe work in

the event of a trac collision.

WARNING: When travelling using the en-route system all other LPG appliance shut

o valves must be in the closed position

including the cooker, water heater etc.

Note: It is dangerous and illegal to operate other LPG appliances whilst travelling. Service and repairs must only be carried out by a competent service engineer.

Gas safety advice

WARNING: If you smell gas or suspect a

leak or in the event of a re and if it is safe to do so, isolate the gas appliances and turn o the gas bottles at the regulator. Evacuate the

motorhome and ventilate. Seek professional advice as to the cause of the leak.

Facts about LPG

• LPG is not poisonous.

• Bi-products are harmless.

• There is danger if all air and oxygen were excluded.

• (Ventilation holes must be kept clear at all times).

• LPG has been given a smell by the manufacturers in order to identify leaks.

Awning Spaces LPG Appliance Exhaust

There is no danger of pollution of an enclosed awning space by the LPG exhaust from a refrigerator venting into it, as awning spaces are generally well ventilated.

Space heaters may produce sucient exhaust

to pollute the awning space, if it is totally enclosed, from a general comfort, smell and hygiene point of view. In the extreme case there could be a build up of carbon dioxide to a dangerous level.

Motorhome owners are advised to allow some fresh air circulation in the awning space when such appliances are in use.

General Safety Notes

In the event of leaks in the gas system or if there is a smell of gas:

• Extinguish all naked ames.

• Do not smoke.

• Switch o the appliance and gas cylinder.

• Open the windows.

• Do not operate any electrical switches.

• Have the entire system checked by an expert.

Precautions

a. Never look for a leak with a ame. Always

use a soap solution or its equivalent when testing connections. Do not operate any electrical apparatus whatsoever, especially light switches. If the leak is not obvious, the motorhome should be evacuated and

qualied personnel consulted.

b. Avoid naked lights when connecting or

changing a cylinder.

c. Check the exible hose frequently.

d. The gas is heavier than air and therefore

sinks to the lowest point.

e. Keep bottle gas containers outside (and

protected against frost). If they must be kept inside make sure they are well away from heat.

WARNING: Do not use appliances with a

dierent working pressure to 30mbar.

WARNING:Maintain adequate spacing of

combustible materials from sources of heat.

WARNING: Do not use independent portable gas appliances inside the vehicle. Cookers shall not be used as heaters

GAS SAFETY ADVICE

WARNING: A BBQ point inlet valve, if tted,

must only be used for the connection of portable LPG appliances.

WARNING: If in doubt, Ask!

Always read individual appliance instructions

Connection

Ensure that the gas regulator hose is correctly

CONNECTING SERVICES

connected to the gas cylinder in gas bottle compartment and that the hose connection is tight.

Gas cylinders must be fully located, seated at the base of the bottles and restrained by the straps provided in the dedicated compartment position. Straps are positioned to suit 6kg, 7kg and 13kg bottles.

WARNING: : If using cylinders other than those recommended, the user must ensure these are adequately supported, ventilation openings must not be obstructed and the cylinders must not cause damage to other

xtures

Open ended gas hoses must always be protected from dirt and insects.

Before turning on the gas supply at the regulator, ensure that all gas operated

equipment in the motorhome is turned o.

All gas equipment is supplied through a Gas Manifold System which has individual isolation

Fig. A

taps for each appliance (Fig A), as follows:

RED - Water Heater / Combination boiler

WHITE - Heater / Heating system

BLUE - Fridge

GREEN - Hob / Grill / Oven

YELLOW - Grill

Note: If the motorhome is in storage or not being used for a period of time, we

recommend turning o the gas supply at the

gas bottles.

Flue installations

All ue installations should be inspected once a

year throughout their length for corrosion. Flues should be replaced if any sign of perforation

is found. Ensure that the replacement is of an

approved type.

Thermal insulation heating

Your motorhome has been designed to achieve a thermal insulation and heating level

for specic climatic conditions when tested according to the procedure in EN1646-1.

See the motorhome technical book for the

classication of your motorhome. All Swift

Group motorhomes achieve a Grade 3

General Information

It is strongly advised that the mains installation is inspected periodically to ensure safe use. The

IET (BS7671) wiring regulations recommend

that mains installations in motorhomes are reinspected every 3 years or annually if the van is used frequently. The National Caravan Council

lists the qualications necessary to perform

CONNECTING SERVICES

this inspection, but an NICEIC approved contractor is probably the rst choice.

On arrival at the campsite

• Check the suitability of the supply, is it AC or DC, is the voltage and frequency correct.

• Ensure that there is a proper earth (3 pin socket outlet).

• If in doubt consult site sta.

• Make sure that the supply from the site is

switched o.

• Make sure that the charger switch on the

PSU is switched o.

• Lift the cover on the electricity inlet on the motorhome, and insert the connector on the

exible supply cable.

• At the site supply point, connect the other end of the supply cable to this using the socket provided.

• Switch on the main switch at the site supply point.

On departure from the campsite

• Switch o supply from the site, disconnect the cable at both ends.

• Switch o RCD.

Note: Never use a mains supply lead whilst coiled. Always uncoil the full length before connecting to the supply and remember to

protect the cable from trac.

WARNING: Current consumption in the motorhome must not exceed 16 amps or the pitch permitted maximum if this is less than 16 amps.

Overseas connection

• Connection to a mains voltage overseas requires particular attention.

• Overseas supplies can be of reverse polarity.

• Reverse polarity results in equipment not

necessarily being isolated when turned o,

reverse polarity indicator on the PSU will light in the event of reverse polarity.

• The only sure way to make equipment safe is to unplug it.

• It is useful to have a means of checking polarity when overseas.

• If it can be achieved then connect live to live, and neutral to neutral to achieve full electrical protection.

Note: It is good practice to test the RCD (Residual Current Device) in the PSU before switching on. There is a test button on the RCD to test the lever, put the lever in the up position (on) before testing.

Note: As with the RCD it is good practice to check the Miniture Circuit Breaker (MCB) in the PSU. Switch all to the on position (lever up). If any do not stay up then there is a fault.

WARNING: Never allow modications

or repairs of electrical or LPG systems and

appliances except by qualied persons.

230V mains electrical equipment power consumption

Please note:

It is possible that the 230V mains electrical equipment may not all operate simultaneously. A typical UK motorhome site mains hook up point provides a maximum output of 10 amps and on some continental sites the available output may be as low as 5 amps.

If your loading exceeds the site supply it may trip the site circuit breaker. Please check the available mains output with your site operator.

Similarly loadings on each circuit breaker within the vehicle should be observed.

A label positioned close to the MCB’s will identify which appliances within the vehicle are fed from which MCB. Consulting the table (Typical Appliance Consumption Figures) in conjunction with this label, will give an indication of which appliances can, and cannot, (site supply allowing), be operated simultaneously.

MOTORHOME BATTERY

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

Motorhome battery

Your motorhome has been tted with a sealed,

Absorbed Glass Matt leisure battery which is specially designed for installing on its side and without ventilation. The battery should only be positioned in the compartment under the driver’s seat, and be properly secured before travelling.

It is recommended that a good quality leisure battery is always connected when the motorhome electrical system is in use.

Leisure batteries are a deep cycling rechargeable heavy duty 12v battery designed to provide power for lights and other electrical appliances. Replacement batteries should be a proprietary brand leisure battery with a 85amp 110 amp capacity.

WARNING: When renewing a leisure battery care should be taken ensuring that a fully sealed Absorbed Glass Matt battery,

which can be tted on its side is used. IF UNSURE SEEK ADVICE Other types of leisure

batteries contain a liquid and electrolyte which will leak out if laid on its side. CONTACT

WITH THE LIQUID ACID CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURIES AND DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.

Note: Replacement batteries should be checked dimensionally before purchasing,

to ensure tment within the battery

compartment, as brands vary in size.

It should be remembered that batteries suitable for the electrical demands of a motorhome

dier in design from those for use with a car,

and whilst the system may operate with a car battery it is strongly recommended that only a rechargeable leisure type battery, maintained in good condition is used.

WARNING: When connecting the battery, ensure that the correct polarity is observed (black is negative and red/brown is positive) and that the terminals are securely fastened.

Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary to remove the battery other than for routine inspection of terminals.

Your motorhome has been tted with an in-line

40 amp fuse between the battery terminal and the power supply unit. Do not use a higher rated fuse as this may cause damage to your motorhome.

WARNING: Switch o all appliances and

lamps before connecting or disconnecting

the battery. Open ames and smoking are

prohibited around the battery compartment.

To preserve the life of your leisure battery and charger please observe the following:

1. Do not leave all 12v lights powered at the same time as this will drain your leisure battery more rapidly.

2. If all 12v lights must be powered together, ensure the battery is ‘in-circuit’ and that the battery charger is turned on.

3. For optimum performance use the transformer/charger unit with a leisure battery attached.

Please note the auxiliary battery or batteries supplied with your motorhome may not be fully charged and should be charged for a minimum of 24 hours before use.

Battery performance may be aected by a

number of things such as ambient temperature, age, state of charge etc.

WARNING: It is imperitive that the battery is correctly secured as any movement could cause wear to the casing and cause electrolyte to leak.

WARNING: For your own safety do not store anything other than the leisure battery in the battery compartment under the driver’s seat.

2.1 Power Supply Unit - Component Layout

(see image above)

The PSU is located in the lower bed box, wardrobe or similar area.

2.2 Activating the System

The system has a shutdown feature that can be used when the vehicle is in storage. This

allows the leisure electronics to be turned o

when not required to save battery power. When

in the o state the alarm and tracking system

supplies are still active, all other supplies are

turned o.

Before using the system please ensure the system shutdown switch is in the on position (button in) the system is now active.

Note: if you plan to use the Swift Command remote features the system needs to be active.

2.3 Connecting to the Mains 230V supply and Safety checks

For your safety it is IMPORTANT that you follow these connections instructions each time your Leisure Vehicle is connected to a mains supply. This section assumes that the system is complete and that a Leisure battery has been installed (see 3.4).

A) Ensure suitability of the Mains Supply.

Your Leisure Vehicle should only be connected to an approved supply that meets the requirements of BS7671 or relevant harmonised standards. In most cases the site warden will hold information regarding suitability of supply. If using a generator you also need to comply with the requirements / instructions supplied with the generator. Please note that some electronic generators may not be compatible with your leisure system. Further generator operational information is contained in section 3.2.

B) Switch the PSU Battery Charger / Power

Converter OFF.

Locate the green ‘Charger’ power switch on the

PSU and ensure the switch is in the o position

(button out) before connection to the mains supply.

C) Connect the Hook-up Lead.

Firstly connect the supplied hook-up lead (orange cable with blue connectors) to the

Leisure Vehicle and then connect to the mains supply.

D) Check Residual Current Device operation.

Locate the RCD within the PSU and ensure the RCD is switched on (lever in up position). Press

the ‘Test’ button and conrm that the RCD turns o (lever in down position). Switch the RCD

back to the on position (lever in up position). If the test button failed to operate the RCD see section 3.1.

E) Check Miniature Circuit Breakers

Locate the MCB’s within the PSU (adjacent to the RCD) and ensure they are all in the on (up) position. If any MCB’s fail to ‘latch’ in the on position see section 3.1

F) Turn the PSU ON.

Locate the black ‘Shutdown’ button and ensure it is in the on position (press button in). Locate the green ‘Charger’ switch on the PSU and turn to the on position (press button in). The charger switch will illuminate when turned on.

G) Check correct Polarity.

Locate the ‘Reverse polarity’ indicator on the PSU and ensure that the indicator is NOT illuminated. If the indicator is illuminated see section 3.2.

H) Check operation of equipment. It is now safe to operate the 12V and 230V equipment.

2.4 Operation while driving

The power control system is designed to shutdown parts of the system while the engine

is running. This is to meet Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations and to ensure

the safe operation of the motorhome. With the engine running the screen will show a warning

‘ENGINE RUNNING’.

Please ensure the system shutdown switch on the PSU is in the on (button in) position before driving (see 2.2). This will ensure the electronic system is active and will therefore be able to control the charging process, supply the refrigerator and monitor other system circuits.

Note: If the vehicle battery is isolated using the Fiat ignition key isolator or similar, some smart charging functionality will be lost, and the available charge will be directed to the leisure battery.

2.14 AC Current Limiter Operation

The power control system features a 230V current monitoring system which allows the mains hook up current to be displayed on the control panel. The resolution of this reading is 0.5A. A current limit setting can be

activated which if reached will switch o the

electric elements in the heating system (and

airconditioning if tted and enabled), until such

time as the current drops and the elements will be switched back on.

An example of this is if a kettle was to be operated whilst the heating was on and the current limit was reached then the heater electric

element would be temporarily switched o, when

the kettle had boiled then the heater element would be switched back on automatically.

This feature is particularly useful when abroad on a low current supply. Setting the value to OFF will disable this feature.

Power screen (230V)

Here you can view the 230V current and set the 230V current limiter. Note: For this feature to work correctly

3. System Technical Information

The following section provides further technical information relating to the electrical system. You can also access the supporting technical manual from www.sargentltd.co.uk

3.1 Residual Current Device & Miniature Circuit Breakers

The Residual Current Device (RCD) is basically provided to protect the user from lethal electric

shock. The RCD will turn o (trip) if the current owing in the live conductor does not fully

return down the neutral conductor, i.e. some current is passing through a person down to earth or through a faulty appliance.

To ensure the RCD is working correctly, the test button should be operated each time the vehicle is connected to the mains supply (see section 2.3)

The Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB’s) operate in a similar way to traditional fuses and are provided to protect the wiring installation from overload or short circuit. If an overload occurs

the MCB will switch o the supply. If this occurs

you should investigate the cause of the fault before switching the MCB back on.

The following table shows the rating and circuit allocation for the three MCB’s

3.2 Battery Charger

Caution should be used before connecting a generator to your motorhome.

WARNING: Never start or stop the generator while electrical loads are connected and switched on. Start the engine, let it stabilise and then connect the electrical load. When stopping the generator, disconnect the electrical load and let engine

stabilise before switching o.

Whilst some generators use electronic inverter technology, others use a more basic principle to generate the 230V supply. Preference should be to choose a generator which produces a consistent sinusoidal wave form with accurate voltage control.

The Reverse Polarity warning light on the PSU may illuminate when using a Generator. This is

a normal side eect when using some types

of generator. Instead of connecting the neutral conductor to earth, some generators centre tap the earth connection making both neutral and live conductors 110V above earth. This

110V dierence causes the neon polarity

indicator to illuminate.

In most cases it is safe to use a generator, but please consult the generator handbook for further information.

3.3 Battery Charger

The system incorporates an intelligent threestage battery charger.

ELECTRICS

During stage 1 the battery voltage is increased gradually while the current is limited to start the charging process and protect the battery. At stage 2 the voltage rises to 14.4V to deliver the bulk charge to the battery. When the battery is charged, the voltage is decreased at stage

3 to 13.6V to deliver a oat charge to maintain

the battery in the fully charged state. The charger can be left switched on continuously as required.

The battery charger / power converter also provides power to the leisure equipment when the mains supply is connected. This module supplies DC to the leisure equipment up to a maximum of 25 Amps (300 Watts), therefore the available power is distributed between the leisure load and the battery, with the leisure

3.4 Leisure Battery

A) Type / Selection

For optimum performance and safety it is

essential that only a proprietary brand LEISURE

battery is used and it is suggested to select a

battery from the NCC Veried Battery Scheme

with a typical capacity of 75 to 120 Ah (Ampere/ hours). Depending on the prospective use of the vehicle the correct type should be selected (A, B or C). A normal car battery is NOT suitable. This battery should always be connected when the system is in use.

The PSU is congured to work with standard

lead acid leisure batteries, and in most cases is also compatible with the latest range of Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) batteries. The system is also suitable for Lithium batteries with built-in Battery Management Systems BMS).

Before tting non-standard batteries please check that the charging prole described in 3.3

is suitable for the type of battery by referring to the battery documentation or battery manufacturer.

Some vehicle installations can cater for two leisure batteries connected in parallel. In these cases it is recommended that two identical batteries are used.

The battery feed is tted with an inline fuse

between the battery and the electrical harness, and is usually located immediately outside the battery compartment or within 500mm of the battery. The maximum rating of this fuse is

20A per battery. If a single battery is tted to

a motorhome, this fuse could be up to 40A,

however if two batteries are tted each battery

should be fused at a maximum of 20A.

WARNING: Under heavy loads the Battery

Charger case may become hot. ALWAYS

ensure the ventilation slots have a clear ow

of air. Do not place combustible materials against / adjacent to the charger.

B) Installation & Removal

Always disconnect the 230V mains supply and turn the PSU green charger switch to the

o position (button out) before removing or

installing the battery.

When connecting the battery, ensure that the correct polarity is observed (black is negative [-] and red is positive [+]) and that the terminals are securely fastened. Crocodile clips must not be used.

WARNING: Explosive gases may be

present at the battery. Take care to prevent

ames and sparks in the vicinity of the battery

C) Operation / Servicing

Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary to remove the battery other than for routine inspection of the terminals and “topping

up” of the battery uid where applicable. Please

see instructions supplied with the battery.

Note: Do not over discharge the battery. One of the most common causes of battery failure is when the battery is discharged below the recommended level of approximately 10V.

Discharging a battery below this gure can

cause permanent damage to one or more of the cells within the battery.

To prevent over discharge, the power control system incorporates a battery protect circuit that warns the users and then disconnects the batteries when they fall below set values.

If a warning is active a beep will be emitted by the control panel and information will be shown on the screen. To cancel the warning, press the select button. These warnings will not be repeated unless the power switch is turned

o and on again. This is to ensure the warning

does not become a nuisance.

Notes

SOLAR PANEL

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

Factory tted Solar Energy System

Depending on specication, your motorhome may be tted with a solar panel and regulator.

This solar panel and regulator may provide additional 12V power whenever sunlight is available to the panel, and this will be directed to the Power Supply unit (PSU), whether the control panel above the entrance door is ON or OFF. Conditions allowing, the system then keeps the battery/batteries ‘topped up’ during storage, and can provide a daily boost to the leisure battery when camping without a mains 230V supply.

If the system shutdown button on the PSU is ON, then via the Smart Charging facility in the PSU, charge may be directed to either the leisure battery or vehicle battery, as required and dependent on whether the vehicle battery is isolated.

If the system shutdown button is OFF, charge will be directed to the vehicle battery only.

Battery power

As a guide, a 40w panel is capable of supplying up to 2.3 amps, +/-1.5%, while an 80w panel is capable of supplying up 4.68 amps +/- 1.5%. Depending on the state of the charge of the battery it may take a few hours to several days to recover a discharged battery. For obvious reasons the solar panel will only work during daylight hours.

Regulator operation

There are two LED indicators located on the solar regulator. The rst is the ‘power’ LED and this ashes when the solar panel produces energy, the ash rate increasing with the

amount of sun light on the solar panel, until the

LED is on solidly. The second LED

is bicoloured, and it will indicated the charge

condition when sucient energy is being received by the solar panel. If the second LED

is illuminated red, then the regulator is in bulk

charge mode supplying 14v plus, if the LED is illuminated green then the regulator is in oat

charge mode supplying 13.6v.

Maintenance and cleaning

The solar panel will require cleaning periodically in order to maintain the performance of the panel, a caravan, car shampoo or simple soap can be used; no abrasive cleaners should be used.

Note: If additional solar panels are tted and linked to the factory tted panel, the

maximum combined wattage must not exceed 150W.

Truma Combination Boiler

The Truma Combination Boiler can be used in the following ways:

To provide combined room heating and water heating.

• Simultaneous heating of the room, and water contained within the appliance. Often referred to as Winter Mode.

To provide water heating only.

• Heating of the water within the appliance, without room heating. Often referred to as Summer Mode.

To provide room heating only, without water heating.

• If the water system has not been primed, meaning that there is no water within the appliance, it is still possible to use the Combination Boiler to heat the room.

Dual Fuel operation

The Truma Combination boiler has been designed to run on gas or electric power, and the optimum performance is obtained when used in dual fuel mode, that is running on gas and electric at the same time.

Running in dual mode has the following

benets:

• The fastest possible heat up time, as the gas burner combines with an electric element to provide energy to heat your hot water and warm your caravan.

• The intelligent heat management system automatically senses when the water and room are nearing the required temperature

and then automatically turns o your gas

burner and operates solely on electric power, conserving your gas.

• As hot water is used or the room cools the Truma combination heater will continue to operate on electric only, until a point where the demands necessitate that additional gas power is also required. An example for such a demand could be for instance if the exterior door was left open and the room temperature dropped by 10 degrees in the space of a few minutes, in this case the intelligent heat management system would decide the best way to get the room back to the required temperature, would be to use both gas and electric at the same time.

Operating the Truma Combination system on electric or gas only will result in longer heat up times for hot water, and room temperature, in comparison to operating on dual fuel.

Operating on electric only may not in all cases maintain a comfortable room temperature especially in colder conditions.

Whilst taking energy consumption and the environment into account, consider using the Combi in Summer mode (water heating only) when room or space heating is not required, but may be needed in the near future. This ensures the appliance is held at the same temperature as the hot water setting chosen, and this can reduce the time taken to provide warm air into the living area, when room or space heating is then selected.

Grade 3 standard and are usable in cold temperatures

Buttery outlets

The majority of air ducting outlets on models equipped with Truma Combi heating systems,

are of the buttery type. These may be opened or closed by moving the ap within the tting,

to adjust the balance of the heating output

throughout the caravan. This can help oset

FITTED EQUIPMENT

dierences in blown air output, between

outlets close to the heating appliance, and those greater distance away from the heating appliance. This can also help adjust the temperature of the bathroom, relative to the temperature of the main living area and/or bedroom.

When these butteries are closed in

conjunction with a high heating system output, and therefore a high fan speed, a slight whistling sound can occur. In this case, opening the outlet slightly will reduce or remove the noise.

Closing too many outlets when the heating system is producing a high output, can cause the appliance to reach high operating temperatures. This does not in general terms

eect the appliance, but can cause the

appliance to automatically shut down. This can cause an interruption of the heating of the motorhome, however heating will resume when the appliance temperatures have reduced to a lower level.

The output of the appliance, and therefore the output of the blown air outlets, will generally be higher when using Gas or Duel Fuel operation.

Electric only operation of the heating is rated

at up to 1.8kW , whereas Gas (or Dual Fuel) operation is rated up to 4kW (3.8kW) or 6kW (5.8kW), depending which model or Combi is

tted.

The blown air ttings can also be rotated to

adjust the direction of air leaving the outlet, as shown in the photo.

Electrical Operation of Truma Combination Boiler

Before the heating system is used for heating using electrical (230v) energy, the 230v isolation button on the Sargent Power Supply Unit must be switched ON, as shown in the

image below. To conrm a supply is available,

the button will be illuminated when a power supply (mains hook up) is connected and the button is ON.

Troubleshooting instructions (Combi heater)

In the event of a problem occurring, a warning or error code will be displayed on the Truma CP Plus control panel, along with a warning triangle. Further warning information will also be displayed on the Swift Command control panel.

The Truma combi boiler (heater and water) has two styles of error code warnings which are shown on the CP+ display panel. Depending on the nature of the fault, the boiler will

require resetting in a slightly dierent manner,

depending on the fault.

• Solid error warning code

• Flashing error warning code

Before trying to reset any faults please check

that the 12v supply is on, and depending on

which energy source is going to be used for

heating, either mains electricity is available and switched on, and/or that the gas bottle is

open and ready to dispense gas.

The following table on the next page describes causes and remedies to the various fault codes that may be displayed on the Truma control panel.

Once the fault has been rectied the fault can

be reset via the control panel
