ON. It will not affect the water pump
to leave it on.
7. Open each faucet, one at a time, to rid
any trapped air inside the pipes.
CAUTION
Some water sources develop high water
pressure, particularly in mountainous
regions. High water pressure is anything
over 55 psi (pounds per square inch).
Excessive water pressure may cause
leaks in water lines and/or damage the
water heater.
Power Water Hose Reel (Optional)
To extend, manually spool the hose to
water source for connection. Hose retrieval is
accomplished by pushing the water hose reel
switch that powers the 12 VDC motor. The
rocker type switch prohibits the reel from being
inadvertently left on.
Water pUmp

Check the electrical connections, fuse
or breaker, main switch and ground
