PLUMBING SYSTEM
For set up instructions of your plumbing system, refer to the "Setting Up Camp..." chapter.
If you have further questions on setting up the system, consult with your independent,
authorized dealer.
Potable water systems require periodic maintenance to deliver a consistent flow of fresh
water. Depending on use and the environment the system is subject to, sanitizing is
recommended prior to storing and before using the water system after a period of storage.
Systems with new components, or ones that have been subjected to contamination, should
also be disinfected.
I
WARNING: Failure to sanitize the potable water system could result in
death or serious illness.
Follow the instructions supplied for your unique water system to determine the proper
procedure for sanitizing your unit. If you have further questions, consult with your
independent, authorized dealer.
