10.1 Water supply, general
The vehicle is equipped with a fitted water tank. An electric water pump pumps
the water to the individual water taps. Opening a water tap automatically
switches on the water pump and pumps water to the tap.
The waste water tank collects the waste water. The water level in the water
and waste water tanks can be checked on the panel.
X
Fill water tank from supply systems that have been verified to provide
drinking water quality.
X
Only use such hoses or containers when filling that have been approved
for use with drinking water.
X
Thoroughly rinse filling hose or container with drinking water before use
(2 to 3 times capacity).
X
Empty filling hose or container completely after use and close openings
of the filling hose or container.
X
Water left standing in the water tank or in the water pipes becomes
undrinkable after a short period. Therefore, before each use of the
vehicle, thoroughly clean the water pipes and the water tank. After each
use of the vehicle completely empty the water tank and the water pipes.
X
In the case of lay-ups lasting more than a week disinfect the water
system before using the vehicle (see chapter 11).
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
The water pump will overheat without water and can get damaged. Never
operate water pump when the water tank is empty.
Z
Before the water fittings can be used, the 12 V power supply and water
pump on the panel must be turned on. Otherwise the water pump will not
work.
Z
When the water tank is re-filled, an air bubble may form at the bottom of the
pump. This air bubble will prevent water from being drawn in. Shake the
water pump up and down energetically in the water.
