SECTION 7 –
PLUMBING
•
Insert hose into fill port and turn water supply
on.
NOTE: Be careful not to overfill the tank.
Using Tank Water (Gravity Fill)
•
Turn Water pump switch ON. While the
switch is on, the water pump will
automatically supply tank water as needed.
UTILITY LIGHT
A light is located on the sidewall to illuminate
the utility hook-up area when needed.
The switch is located in the water service
center compartment.
WATER PUMP
When your coach is not connected to a city
water supply, water is supplied from the fresh
water tank by a water system demand pump. A
demand pump is designed to run only when you
are using water. When you open a faucet, the
waterline pressure drops and the pump begins to
run, and it will continue to run as long as the
faucet is open. When you close the faucet, the
line pressure backs up to the pump, and it shuts
itself off.
The pump is self-priming and will run briefly
to build up line pressure when the Water Pump
switch is first turned on. See “Initial Waterline
Priming” for instructions on using the water
system for the first time.
Water Pump Strainer
The pump is equipped with a cleanable
strainer to capture any possible tank-borne
particles that could damage pump components.
NOTE: We recommend that you check and clean
the strainer after each tankful of water
during the first few uses of the Water
Pump system. Thereafter, remember to
check it at least yearly, and be sure to
empty water from it during winterization
procedures.
To Clean Pump Strainer
•
Ensure all Water Pump switches are OFF.
•
Twist the inlet cap (bowl) “counter-
clockwise” to unscrew from the strainer
assembly.
