Water Pump
The water pump is self-priming and totally automatic, operating on demand whenever water is
required. The water pump is used to pressurize the freshwater system when the unit is not
connected to city water. The switches (Figure 11-5) to this pump may be located in the
bathroom, or sanitation-service compartment (Figure 11-6). To start the pump, follow
these instructions:
1.
Fill or partially fill the fresh water supply tank.
2.
Open the kitchen and bathroom faucets.
3.
Turn the water pump switch “on” and allow the water to fill the water line and
the hot water heater.
4.
Close each faucet after it delivers a steady stream of water (close the cold-water
faucet first). Leave the hot-water faucets “on” until they also deliver a steady
stream of water. This procedure will assure that the water heater is filled
with water.
5.
The water pump should stop running once all faucets are closed.
6.
The water pump is now ready for automatic operation. The pump will
run when a faucet is open and stop when a faucet is closed.
7.
Never allow the pump to run for long periods of time without water
being present in the supply tank, as doing so may cause physical damage
or blow fuses.
If water does not flow when a faucet is turned “on” while using the demand
system, use the following troubleshooting chart:
