sanitizing solution will be adequate for the M380 fresh water tank. (Approximately 100
gallons).
3. Add sanitizing solution to water tank – Remove deck lid plug in the curbside close out panel.
Remove 3/4 inch plug from the side of the tank in the curb side luggage compartment and
pour the solution into the tank. Reinstall the plug in the tank.
4. Fill tank to capacity – Connect the hose to the municipal water inlet, turn on the Tank Fill
Switch and fill the water tanks completely. Shut off the hose and turn off the Tank Fill switch.
Turn on the water pumps. Open each faucet (hot and cold), and run the water until a distinct
odor of chlorine can be detected. Shut off the water pump.
5. Allow the system to stand – Let stand for at least 4 hours when disinfecting with 50 ppm
residual chlorine. If a shorter time period is desired, then a 100 ppm chlorine concentration
should be permitted to stand in the system for at least one hour.
6. Drain tanks – Open the Cold Water Drain valve (as in Step 1), and allow the tank to drain
completely.
7. Refill tanks – Close the Cold Water Drain valve and turn on the water supply to the municipal
water inlet. Turn on the Tank Fill switch and fill the tank completely. When the tank is full, turn
off the Tank Fill switch, shut off the water supply and disconnect the hose. Then replace the
fill cap and turn on the water pump. When water flows from the opened faucets, close them
and open the other faucets until water flows. This flushes the system, removing trapped air
from piping and ensures that the fresh water supply is ready for use.
CAUTION: Do not permit sanitizing or antifreeze solutions to enter water filter.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the chlorine smell and taste is no longer present at the faucets.
4-12.3.2 Water Filter Replacement
Depending upon the condition of the municipal water used, the filter media will degrade with use. The
only practical way to determine when replacement is required is to go by the sense of taste. It is
recommended that the filter be changed after prolonged storage.
4-12.3.3 Water Heater
With the Hurricane system at operating temperature, the domestic water is automatically heated as it
is being used. Open any hot water faucet and a continuous supply of domestic hot water will be
present within a few seconds. This is accomplished by the Hurricane’s domestic hot water zones,
which are an integral part of the heating system. A mixer valve has been installed to ensure that
excessively hot water does not flow to the faucets.
CAUTION: The mixer valve is not an anti-scald device. Always exercise reasonable caution
when using hot water.
CAUTION: Do not turn the Hurricane’s unit off if the outside temperature is 32°F or lower
when the potable water system is not drained.
4-12.3.4 Water Pump
The water pump is located in the road side luggage compartment (bay 2, left). The pump employs
state-of-the-art electronics to automatically control motor speed. The pump adjusts its speed as you
open and close water fixtures. If the pump has been out of service for a period of time, it is advisable
to open a faucet before turning them on. When water flows steadily from the opened faucet, close the
faucet and observe that the pump shuts off when the system becomes pressurized. (It may also be
necessary to bleed the air from the other faucets as well.) When the fresh water supply tank level is
low or empty, shut the pump off to prevent possible damage to the pump motor. In addition to integral
motor overload protection; the pump mechanism is also protected from damage by the presence of a
filter at the water pump inlet. The filter should be cleaned periodically.
Under normal usage, the water pump should require no periodic maintenance other than ensuring
that the input water supply is properly filtered of particles that could damage the pump mechanism.
