WATER TANKS -
Measurements & Calibration
The motorhome is equipped with a monitor panel to aid in man-
aging the storage tanks. The monitor panel will be located in a main
Status Monitor Panel in the hallway area. A second monitor can be
found in the roadside service center. The switch marked
TEST is a
momentary switch which requires being held down while testing the
level of the storage tanks. Read the scale for the desired storage tank
that is to be monitored. Each scale uses colored lights along with a
corresponding scale reading. The lights and scale indications are as follows:
•
Green
lamps indicate good or normal ranges.
• Amber lamps indicate fair or partial ranges.
•
Red
lamps indicate full or empty ranges (depending on the scale), which are
in the critical range.
WATER - POTABLE
City Hook-Up
• Connect a potable water hose to the city/fresh water hook-up located
in the service center on the roadside of motorhome.
• The city water hook-up in the service center has a built in pressure
regulator and one-way check valve. The pressure regulator limits the
water pressure to approximately 45 PSI.
• An additional pressure regulator can be connected to the city water
faucet to regulate the pressure to the potable water hose.
• Turn the city water/tank fill valve to the city water position (as
shown).
• Turn on the water supply.
• The water pump can be either off or on. It will not affect the water
pump to leave it on.
NOTE:
When connecting the motorhome to fresh water be sure to use a hose manu-
factured and labeled for potable water to ensure that the hose will not flavor
the water.
CAUTION:
Some outside 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. (An additional pressure regulator can be
connected to the city water faucet to regulate the pressure to the potable
water hose.) Excess pressure on a hot day can cause the water hose to swell
and burst.
