You should always use a non-toxic drinking water hose dedicated only to supplying the
motor home with fresh water through the city water connection inlet. To reduce the chance
of contamination, prevent the non-toxic drinking water hose from coming into contact with
the ground. Install the city water connection inlet cap when the city water connection is not
being used.
Do not remove the following label (
Fig D
) from your motor home:
The City
Water Connection should be unplugged (i.e., the non-toxic drinking water hose
disconnected) when the motor home is unattended for any amount of time. If something
would happen to the water system, this may help limit water damage to a smaller area.
Water Control Valve Operation:
City Fixtures
Use this setting if you are at a campground or other facility where the motor home can be
hooked up to an external pressurized water source (referred to as “city water”).
NOTE
: If needed, sanitize the water system prior to travel.
1. Move the water heater bypass valves (if equipped) to the NORMAL position (supply
line valves ON, middle mixer valve OFF). The tankless water heater has no bypass.
2. Remove the city water connection inlet cap and attach a non-toxic drinking water hose
to the city water connection inlet and the other end to a pressurized water source.
3. Place the utility center valves in the “CITY FIXTURES” position. (Fig A).
4. Turn ON the water at the external water source.
5. Enter the motor home and open the cold water supply faucets to bleed air from the water
lines. When the water lines are nearly full, you may experience some “air pockets.”
Allow these to escape before closing the cold water supply faucets.
6. The tank (storage) water heater (if so equipped) will fill first, followed by the supply
lines and faucets.
NOTE
A short hose is supplied with your motor home for use in
sanitizing or winterizing the water lines in your RV. It can also be
used to siphon fill the fresh water tank when no city water is avail
-
able. The hose has a fitting that will screw onto the City Water Con
-
nection inlet and the other end can be put into a container of fresh
water, sanitizer or RV antifreeze. (Refer to Sanitizing and Winterizing
sections)
Potable water only label
