WATER SYSTEM
Filling your fresh water tank
Your motorhome is fitted with a standard
water inlet which can be filled using a hose
pipe connected to a tap placed into the water
filler point.
Please take care not to over fill your tank it is
advised that someone monitors the water
level in the tank while filling is in progress.
Waste Water Tank
Your new motorhome is also fitted with a 100
Litre waste water tank. All waste water
excluding the toilet waste will run into the
waste water tank. The level of water in the
tank can be monitored using the control
panel. Opening the grey waste outlet
provided on the outside of the motorhome
empties the tank. Open the tap when the
outlet is over a drain and the water will run
out of the tank.
Draining Down Your Water System
(i)
It is essential that you drain down your
motorhome water system when it is not
in use. This is most important during
winter months to protect against frost
damage
(ii)
Disconnect the water pump and switch
off power supply.
(iii) Open the safety drain valve on the water
heater located next to the water heater.
(iv) Open all taps and remove all plugs from
sinks and showers. Lever operated taps
should have the lever put into the up and
central position.
(v)
Open both the blue and grey drain
outlets on the outside of your
motorhome.
(vi) Adjust the level of the motorhome to
ensure that the drain outlet is at the
lowest point of the motorhome.
After 30 minutes level the motorhome and
prepare it for storage if necessary.
High Pressure Gas Hoses
You should only connect to this regulator
using a length of approved high-pressure
hose not exceeding 450mm from the gas
cylinder to the regulator. These approved
high-pressure hoses are available from your
Elddis Retailer. These hoses are connected
using screw thread fittings, which will make a
seal if connected and tightened using a
spanner. Once the hose is securely
connected turn on the gas tap above the
regulator, then turn on the gas bottle to allow
gas to flow into the motorhome.
In order to make all your motorhome gas
appliances operational it is necessary to
open each appliance gas tap as detailed in
previous column. All your gas appliances
should now be operational. Instructions on
how to use each appliance are detailed later
in your handbook.
WARNING: Aerosols and highly flammable
liquids must not be stored in the
compartment behind, or adjacent to, any
gas appliance. Some industrial LPG
appliances operate at high pressure and
require a ‘high pressure’ regulator. This
often has an adjusting handle on it.
NEVER use such a regulator on a
motorhome.
Ventilation holes must be clear at all
times.
