Zero Energy State
NOTE: ZERO ENERGY STATE
To perform service, maintenance and repairs you must disconnect the
RigMaster from its battery source. In the recommended installation
configuration, the RigMaster shares the battery bank with the vehicle's main
engine. Unplug the J1 harness at the power module before disconnecting the
battery cables. After disconnecting the battery cables, check the battery posts
inside the RigMaster engine cabinet to confirm there is no voltage to the
auxiliary power unit (APU).
1. Safety Cover Switch
WARNING! SAFETY COVER SWITCH
It is critical that this safety cover switch is never bypassed; failure to comply
may result in serious injury.
The safety cover switch (Figure
1) is designed to prevent the
RigMaster Power APU from
starting when the engine cover
is loose or has been removed.
When the cover is down, the
switch is in the closed position.
When the cover is open or
loose, the switch is in the open
position. The switch is located
at the very top of the unit
enclosure near to main wire
harness plate.

2. AutoStart Automatic Start/Stop Feature
CAUTION: AUTOSTART FEATURE
Remember that a properly functioning RigMaster is capable of starting
independently of its operator. If the AutoStart feature is enabled, battery
voltage, temperature, and time of day can all cause the RigMaster’ engine to
start. Please see the cabin controllers operating instructions for further
information on the AutoStart feature.
You must deactivate this feature prior to refueling.
3. Engine Hoist Points
NOTE: ENGINE HOIST POINTS
The Honda engines have hoist points that are useful for removal and
reinstallation of the engine. It is advised that these hoist points should only be
used if no other means of lifting the unit are available.
4. Starting Aids
WARNING!
Do not use any type of starting aids such as ether. Such use could result in
an explosion and personal injury and will render the APU warranty null and
void.
5. Starting with the Cover Off
CAUTION
Some installation or repair/diagnostic procedures require that the APU is
started with the engine cover off. Do not deactivate or bypass the safety cover
switch. Instead, have another individual assist by manually holding the safety
cover switch down in the closed position for the duration of the procedure.

6. Inspection of the Safety Systems
The safety systems on the RigMaster APU should be examined and tested at
prior to performing any service work and at 50-hour intervals to ensure that they
are in good condition and proper working order.
7. Safe Working Practices
Safe working practices are your responsibility. The use of protective safety
equipment is mandatory when performing inspections, service, diagnostics and
repairs on the RigMaster APU. Follow your local regulations and guidelines
regarding occupational health and safety.

Heater
Page 8 LGN-Owners-Manual-071520
Heater: (only applicable if unit has automotive style heating)
The RigMaster heating system is fully automatic. A constant comfort zone is
maintained with the temperature selector (see Cabin Controller Operation –
Page 11). The bunk heating system is a complete stand-alone system that is not
integrated into the vehicle's cooling system. When heat is selected, and the
RigMaster is in operation, the hot coolant flows through the heater core (installed
under the bunk –see Figure 2).
The heater/air conditioner blower motor (fan) circulates the cab air through the
heater core pushing warm air into the bunk area. The coolant is then re-
circulated back to the RigMaster Unit.
This system is designed to maximize the bunk heating efficiency.

The RigMaster air conditioner is also fully automatic. A constant comfort zone is
maintained with the temperature selector setting (see Cabin Controller Operation
–Page 11). The RigMaster air conditioner is an R134A system that is not
integrated into the vehicle's existing air conditioning system.
WARNING!
ONLY CERTIFIED AIR CONDITIONING TECHNICIANS SHOULD SERVICE
THE AIR CONDITIONER.
HIGH PRESSURE VS. TEMPERATURE READINGS
High temperatures and pressures are approximate.
Readings within 10-15% of Figure 3 will deliver acceptable performance.

Air Conditioner
Page 10 LGN-Owners-Manual-071520
The compressor within the RigMaster unit pumps the refrigerant gas through the
condenser that dissipates the heat and changes the refrigerant from a gas to a
liquid. The liquid refrigerant passes through a filter (receiver dryer), and then
through the evaporator core located in the bunk heater/air conditioner unit. The
heater/air conditioner blower motor (fan) then activates, and cool dry air is forced
into the bunk area.
