NOTE: The shower head may be removed from the hose so that
it will drain faster. If you remove the shower head, be sure to reas-
semble it prior to storage.
NOTE: When putting the shower assembly back into the storage
compartment, make sure the hose is not pinched or the shower head
is positioned in a way it can be damaged.
5. Turn ON the hot and cold faucet knobs, and adjust the water temperature as desired.
6. To activate the handheld shower turn ON the sprayer head attachment (some models).
To turn off the water,
always close the hot/cold control (faucet) knobs. The lever on the
shower head will not completely stop the flow of water; this is intentional to allow for
draining. After the water has been allowed to drain from the shower head, return it to the
outside shower compartment. Any remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run out;
this is not a leak but performs as intended. If you are dry camping, turn the water pump
OFF.
Turning off the water with the shower head lever can also create a condition where the hot
and cold water will mix through the outside shower faucet, thereby reducing the temperature
of the hot water. It can appear as though the hot water heater is not working properly.

The shower faucet includes a vacuum breaker for the shower. There are two purposes for
this breaker:
To prevent siphoning water through the hose from another fixture.
To prevent water from being retained in the hose.

The bathroom, kitchen and outside shower faucets operate much the same way as the faucets
in your home. Make sure there is sufficient water available and the 12-volt water pump is
turned ON before operating.
NOTE: There may be air in the water plumbing lines which needs to
be bled out before a steady stream of water comes from the faucet.
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns instantly or
death from scalds; therefore, be careful when using hot water. Always test the
water temperature before showering or washing.
