11.4 Water system
Filling:
„
Position the vehicle horizontally.
„
Close all water taps.

Switch on 12 V power supply on the panel.
„
Close the safety/drainage valve (Truma). To do this turn the knob cross-
wise to the safety/drainage valve and press in the push button.
If the temperature is below approx. 7 °C, the safety/drainage valve cannot
be closed. Therefore switch on the living area heater and wait until the
living area temperature exceeds approx. 7 °C.
„
Fill the water tank with fresh 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 hot 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.

When filling the water tank, observe the maximum permissible gross
weight of the vehicle.
Z
The water pump will overheat without water and can get damaged. Never
operate water pump when the water tank is empty.
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. Leave the water taps on in
central position. Leave the safety/drainage valve (if available) 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 level can be checked on the panel while the water tank is being
filled.
