1. Install one male and one female hose end to one of the four foot sections of hose.
When completed, the section of hose will have a male hose end on one side and a
female hose end on the other side.
2. Connect this hose to the outlet side (usually marked with an arrow) of the pump. The
other end of the hose will connect to the city water fill, located on the motorhome.
Prior to attaching the hose to the city water fill, remove the pressure regulator first,
otherwise the pump will not be able to push the water past the regulator. The hose
will attach to where the regulator use to be.
3. Install one female hose end to the other four foot section of hose.
4. Connect this hose to the inlet side of the pump. the end of the hose that does not
have hose end will go into the five gallon bucket to pump out the sanitizing solution.
5. Fill the bucket half full with water and add one cup of household bleach. Attach the
battery drill to the pump insuring that the drill rotation matches the rotation needed to
work the pump.
6. Using the drill, pump the solution from the bucket into the fresh water tank until
solution is gone. Remove the pump/drill apparatus and complete filling the tank with
water.
7. Switch the water pump to the ON position. Open all faucet's one at a time until all air
is purged, and the water flows freely. Once the tank is half empty turn off the water
pump, open the gray water tank drain valve and leave the valve open.
8. Again, add water to the tank until it is full. Allow the system to stand undisturbed for at
least 15 minutes.
9. Turn the water pump on to drain the system by opening all faucet's, and the fresh
water tank drain valve, while flushing the system with potable water.
10. Continue flushing the system, allowing the water to flow for several minutes, and then
turn off the water pump. Close the fresh water tank valve, gray water tank valve, and
faucet's. Refill the system with potable water.
NOTE: If you would rather not do the above, having your dealer perform this operation
would be another option you could choose.
