If necessary, switch on the water pump on the panel.
Clean or disinfect water system.
Close the safety/drainage valve (Truma). Turn the knob perpendicular to
the safety/drainage valve and press the push button in.
If the temperature is below 6 °C, the safety/drainage valve cannot be
closed. Therefore switch on the living area heater and wait until the tem-
perature of the safety/drainage valve exceeds 6 °C.
Close all drain cocks. To do this, position the drain cock's rocking lever
(Fig. 209,1) horizontally or turn the drain cock's cap (Fig. 210,1) in a clock-
wise direction.
Close the drainage opening of the water tank.
Close all water taps.
Open the drinking water filler neck on the outside of the vehicle.
Fill the water tank with drinking water. Use a water hose, a water canister
with a funnel or similar for filling.
Set all the water taps to "Hot" and open them. The water pump is turned
on. The warm water pipes are filled with water.
Keep the taps open until the water flowing out of the taps has no bubbles
in it. This is the only way to ensure that the boiler is full of water.
Set all water taps to "Cold" and leave them open. This will fill the cold water
pipes with water.
Keep the taps open until the water flowing out of the taps has no bubbles
in it.
Close all water taps.
Close drinking water filler neck.
Check that the cap on the water tank is not leaking.
Position of the drain
cocks and safety/
drainage valve

Emptying the water system
Z
If the vehicle is not used for several days or if it is not heated when there is
a risk of frost, empty the entire water system. Make certain that the water
pump is switched off on the panel. Otherwise, the water pump will overheat
and may get damaged. Leave the water taps on in central position. Leave
the safety/drainage valve (if there is one) and all drain cocks open. Frost
damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehicle and deposits in water-
carrying components can be avoided in this way.
Z
If the water pump can be turned off from the panel, always turn off the water
pump from the panel before you empty the water system. Otherwise the
water pump runs until it overheats or the battery is empty.
Z
The Truma system (heater/boiler) has a safety/drainage valve and,
depending on the model, one or two drain cocks for emptying.
Z
Depending on the model, the Alde system (heater/boiler) has one or two
drain cocks for emptying.
