flow until it is clean and clear; (4) Turn off the site supply valve and connect the other end of the fresh water hose to the site water supply;
and (5) Turn on the site supply valve.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS Whenever you leave the trailer for more than 10-15 minutes, be sure to turn off the water pump (see kitchen
switch panel and accompanying indicator light) and/or shut off the city water supply. A sudden, unexpected leak in the water system will
allow the water system to run freely and flood the trailer.
Be sure to turn off the water pump while travelling/towing. If not, a faucet may open while travelling, causing fresh water to escape. If you
leave the sink drain plugged, the sink will overflow causing the interior of the trailer to be flooded. Always set the water pump to OFF with
an empty fresh water tank. Otherwise, it may destroy the pump and cause a blown circuit.
to empty the fresh water tank … . The valve for the fresh water tank is located beneath the trailer directly connected to the bottom of the
white tank. It is white in color and the valve is white. Turn the valve to open and close when it has finished draining.
waste water system … The Cricket has GREY water holding tank (for sink drainage). It does NOT contain a BLACK water holding tank (for
septic waste). Grey waste water is contained in a “grey water” holding tank. Note: a flexible sewer hose and several fittings are required to
connect the holding tank outlet to the inlet of an approved, sanitary waste water dump station or sewer system. NOTE: Rules regarding
proper waste disposal varies, sometimes greatly, from site to site. Please be sure to educate yourself on the waste disposal rules of your
particular site/location, and follow them.
to empty your grey tank…. The grey tank valve is indicated by a sticker on the exterior of the trailer, located on the driver’s side panel in
front of the wheels. Pull the T-handle to open the valve. Close when grey tank is empty.
Hand shower / hose … your Cricket has a shower! Located on the front driver’s side is a black door behind which hides a hot and cold water
valve and a Quick Disconnect (QD) valve to insert the blue coiled hose. The brass end on the hose simply pushes into the QD receptacle – a
click will indicate it is secure.
To remove the hose after use push the nickel ring in (towards trailer) and the brass end should pop out. Hose off your head, your feet, your
dog, etc. Use the privacy enclosure for a full on shower.
That pink tag in the picture has instructions for winterizing. They are repeated here:
“This faucet contains backflow prevention. Faucet must be drained for storage or if freezing weather is expected.
To drain: 1. Disconnect water supply to the vehicle. 2. Open both Hot and Cold valves. 3. Insert flexible spout or coil hose with spray nozzle removed into quick
disconnect. 4. Hold open end of hose or spout near ground and drain system. 5. Preferred method: open faucet as above and blow out entire water system with
pressurized air or pump entire system with RV fresh water safe anti-
freeze.”
