11.1 Water supply, general
The vehicle is equipped with a fitted water tank.
An electric water pump pumps the water to the individual water taps. Opening
a water tap automatically switches on the water pump and pumps water to the
tap.
The waste water tank collects the waste water. The water level in the water
and waste water tanks can be checked on the panel.
11.2 Emptying the water system
If the water system is not used for a longer period, particular in winter, the com-
plete water system has to be emptied.
Emptying:

Open all the water taps to the central position and leave them in this posi-
tion. If necessary, blow out with compressed air.

Open the drain valve of the boiler and the fresh water tank and leave them
in this position.
11.2.1 Emptying the fresh water tank
Volume The water tank holds 80 l.
Drainage opening The drainage opening for the fresh water tank is located at the lowest point of
the tank.

Fill the water tank with fresh water only.

Water left standing in the water tank or in the water pipes becomes
undrinkable after a short period. For this reason, rinse the water pipes
and the water tank thoroughly with several litres of fresh water before
each use of the vehicle. To do this, open all water taps. After each use
of the vehicle completely empty the water tank and the water pipes.

If the vehicle is not used for several days or if it is not heated when there is
a risk of frost, empty the entire water system. Leave the water taps on in
central position. Leave the safety/drainage valve (if available) and all drain
cocks open. Frost damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehicle and
deposits in water-carrying components can be avoided in this way.

The water pump will overheat without water and can get damaged. Never
operate water pump when the water tank is empty.

Before using the water fittings, the 12 V power supply on the panel must be
switched on. Otherwise the water pump will not work.

The water supply system conforms to the latest state of technology 03/
2009 (Directive 2002/72/EC).

Replace the fresh water tank if possible every 3 - 4 days, because bacteria
can develop after a few days.

Ensure that the lid of the water filler neck is always closed when the vehicle
is unsupervised.
