HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
To disconnect the exterior water pump, release as shown below:
Step One - Slide lid to unlock.
Step Two - Pull plug to remove.
Once the pump is removed, store it in a clean, dry place and close the socket lid.
Handy Tip: When refilling your water container, the pump can be placed as shown to keep it clean.
Please note: The socket lid must be closed while not in use. The plug must always be removed
from the external water socket before moving the caravan/motorhome and stored in a clean, dry
place.
To obtain efficient running and maximum pump life, follow these easy steps:-
• Ensure there is sufficient water in the container.
• Ensure maximum pumping period is not more than 15 minutes, continuous operation
• Ensure all hose connections are firm and watertight.
• Ensure the power supply is adequate. Low performance could result from a weak battery or
reduced voltage due to undersized wiring (we recommend wiring should be a minimum
thickness of 2.5mm+).
• Keep o-rings well lubricated to make the connection/removal of the plug to socket easier. Use
a water-based lubricant such as silicone grease. Please note:
Do not use Vaseline to lubricate
o-rings.
• Do not pull on locking plate when removing the handset from the socket.
• Clean contact strips often.
• Use hose holder to keep the pump off the ground when refilling water container.
• Drop pump into water container and shake to expel air before inserting the plug into the socket.
