City Water Hook-Up
When connecting the motorhome to fresh
water, use a hose manufactured and labeled
for potable water to ensure the hose will not
flavor the water. It is recommended to install a
pressure regulator on the water line to prevent
the hose from expanding and bursting due to
excessive pressure.
1. If the motorhome has the optional
power water hose reel, pull hose
out. Connect the pressure regulator
to the water source and the other
end to the hose and proceed to #4.
If motorhome does not have the
optional power water hose reel,
proceed with step #2.
2. Install the pressure regulator on the
water source.
3. Connect the pressure regulator to the
potable hose and the potable hose to
the City/Fresh Water Fill Valve.
4. City/Fresh Water Fill handle should
be in the City Water position.
5. Turn on the water at the source.
6. The water pump can either be OFF or
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. Excessive pressure can cause
the water hose to swell and burst. It
is recommended to use a pressure
regulator.
pOWER WATER HOSE REEL (OpTIONAL)
To extend,
manually spool the
hose and connect
the hose to the
water source.
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
The water pump pressurizes
the fresh water system when
the system is not connected
to city water. The water pump
is self-priming, operating on
demand as water is used. The
water pump is located in the
water service center.
Operation Requirements:
House battery disconnect switch must
be on.
Turn on battery cutout switch.
WARNING
Before leaving the motorhome for
extended periods of time (i.e. overnight
or longer) be sure that the city water
source and water pump have been
turned off. Damage from neglect will
be the responsibility of the owner, not
the manufacturer.
The water pump can be operated from
these following locations:
Hallway Systems Control Panel
Water Service Center
Kitchen Galley
To turn the water pump ON or
OFF:
Momentarily press the water
pump switch. The indicator
lamp illuminates when the
water pump is turned on.
CAUTION
DO NOT continue water pump
operation if the fresh water holding
tank is empty. Damage to the water
pump or electrical supply system may
result.
To operate the water pump after
unhooking from a city water supply or after
storage:
Close all drain valves and low point
drains.
Fill the fresh water tank.
Open the hot and cold water valves of
each faucet.
Turn the water pump ON
. Wait for the
water lines and the hot water tank to
fill.
Close each faucet when it delivers a
steady stream of water (cold water
faucets first).
Water pump
inlet screen:
Clean every two
months.
