¾
Do not leave the travel trailer unattended while filling.
¾
Do not wedge the water hose into the fill spout.
¾
“Full condition” indicates water is back flushing at the water hose and out the air vent
adjacent to the fill spout.
¾
Discontinue filling immediately on observation of the “full” signal indicated on the monitor
panel.
CAUTION
: Improper filling can cause hydraulic force, which can damage your travel trailer’s
structural integrity. You must leave space around the fill hose
(AN OVERSIZED
HOSE WILL NOT ALLOW THE SPACE REQUIRED TO PREVENT
PRESSURE BUILD UP)
. The vent can only release a fraction of the pressure
created when filling the tank.
CAUTION
: Always fill your onboard water tank in such a way as to allow excess water to
escape through the water fill and vent.
BEFORE FILLING YOUR TRAVEL
TRAILER FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU NEED TO READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS SET OUT IN THE FOLLOWING
DIAGRAM.
IMPORTANT!
ONLY USE POTABLE WATER IN THE WATER TANK. SANITIZE, RINSE AND
DRAIN THE WATER TANK BEFORE USING.
Sanitizing The Fresh Water System
The following procedures are recommended to ensure complete sanitization of your potable
water system. This applies to a new system, one that may have become contaminated or one that
has not been used for a period of time.
1)
Prepare a solution of ¼ cup household liquid chlorine bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite) to
one gallon of water. This solution will treat 15 gallons of fresh water. You will need to
increase solution proportions to the tank capacity of your travel trailer.
2)
Close drain valves and faucets; pour chlorine solution into the fresh water tank filler spout.
Fill tank completely with fresh water.
3)
Turn water pump switch “ON”
be sure you have 12V DC power
. Open all faucets
individually until water flows steadily and you detect a distinct odour of chlorine – then turn
faucets off. Do not forget the hot water faucets. This will purge any air from the lines.
4)
Refill the fresh water tank to “full” and wait 3 to 4 hours.
