fittings
Chapter overview
This chapter contains instructions regarding the sanitary fittings of the vehi-
cle.
At the end of the chapter, you will find the positions of the components of the
sanitary system.
10.1 Water supply, general
Fill water tank from supply systems that have been verified to provide
drinking water quality.
Only use such hoses or containers when filling that have been ap-
proved for use with drinking water.
Thoroughly rinse filling hose or container with drinking water before
use (2 to 3 times capacity).
Empty filling hose or container completely after use and close open-
ings of the filling hose or container.
Water left standing in the water tank or in the water pipes becomes
undrinkable after a short period. Therefore, before each use of the ve-
hicle, thoroughly clean the water pipes and the water tank. After each
use of the vehicle completely empty the water tank and the water
pipes.
In the case of lay-ups lasting more than a week disinfect the water
system before using the vehicle (see chapter 14).
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. Otherwise, the water pump will overheat and
may get damaged. Leave the water taps on in central position. Leave all
drain cocks open. Frost damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehi-
cle and deposits in water-carrying components can be avoided in this
way.
The water pump will overheat without water and can get damaged after
one minute at the latest. Never operate water pump when the water tank
is empty.
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 automati-
cally 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.
