Fig. 188 Switch (water pump)
The switch for the water pump is installed in the bathroom cabinet.
Before the water fittings can be used, the 12 V power supply and the wa-
ter pump must be switched on at the panel and on the switch (Fig. 188)
respectively. Otherwise the water pump will not work.
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.
10.2 Water
system
10.2.1 Water
tank
The water tank holds approx. 180 l.
Position of the water tank, see section 10.2.4.
Hot air from the living area heater heats the water tank. This protects the
water tank from frost.
If the living area heater is out of order, the water tank no longer is suffi-
ciently protected against frost. If there is a risk of frost, empty the water
tank and leave the drain cock open.
For driving safety and for regulatory reasons, when the vehicle is motion
the fill quantity must be reduced to approximately 20 litres. If the water is
drained using the safety drainage rotary handle (see section 10.2.5), a
residual quantity of approximately 20 litres will remain in the water tank.
10.2.2 Filling the water system
When filling the water tank, observe the maximum permissible gross
weight of the vehicle. Luggage must be reduced accordingly when the
water tank is full.
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 water quantity can be monitored on the panel while the water tank is
filled.
