Pads are optional equipment as shown on page 112: (better look for the switches)
HEATED HOLDING TANKS
With the heated tankoption, a pad will be glued to the exterior bottom side of the holding tank. Heat
is supplied by 12-volt DC power through the heating element built into the pad. Approximately
6-amps of energy per pad is consumed and fused through the 12-volt power supply board. Switches
to turn heat pads on or off are located on an interior wall in or near the bathroom.
POWER TO HEATING PADS SHOULD BE TURNED OFF UNTIL:
1. Water is in the holding tank.
2. Temperature drops to 32° (0° C).
3. Motorhome is parked, setup and all attachments performed.
NOTE: Turn heat pads off when dumping and draining tanks.
An internal thermostat is built into components of the heat pad to assist in energy conservation.
