10.2.4 Reducing the water quantity for mobile operation
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 rotary handle is installed on the water tank.
Fig. 193 Rotary handle (water tank)
Turn the rotary handle (Fig. 193,1) on the water tank in a clockwise di-
rection as far as it will go.
Fill the water tank with drinking water.
Turn the rotary handle (Fig. 193,1) on the water tank in an anticlockwise
direction as far as it will go. Excess water will drain away leaving approx.
20 litres in the tank.
See section 10.6.
10.2.5 Draining
water
(safety
drainage rotary handle)
Turn the rotary handle (Fig. 193,1) on the water tank in an anticlockwise
direction as far as possible beyond the resistance to fully open the drain-
age opening.
10.2.6 Emptying the water system
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 sure that the 12 V
power supply on the panel is switched off. Otherwise, the water pump
will overheat and may get damaged. Leave the water taps on in central
position. Leave the safety/drainage valve (Truma) and all drain cocks
open. Frost damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehicle and de-
posits in water-carrying components can be avoided in this way.
Take note of the environmental tip in this chapter.
The position of the safety/drainage valve and the drain cocks is specified in
the section 10.6 at the end of this chapter.
