12 VOLT DC DEMAND PUMP
To utilize water from your water tank, you need have 12 volt DC power to operate the
demand pump. Energy for the pump is supplied by the auxiliary battery or converter.
Depending on your trailer model, the demand pump will be located under the bed, in a
cupboard, under the unit or under the sink. The switch to operate the pump is located on the
monitor panel or a wall near the pump.
Refer to instructions supplied by the pump manufacturer with your trailer. If you have
questions, consult with your independent, authorized dealer and/or visit the manufacturer's
website at www.shurflo.com.
.
NOTE: The water pump switch should be in the off position when the camper is
left unattended for any amount of time. If something would happen to the water
system, this will help limit water damage to a smaller area.
WATER PRESSURE REGULATOR
Excessive pressure from water supply systems may be encountered in some parks,
especially in mountain regions. Water pressure regulators are available to protect your
system against such high pressure. A regulator of this type is recommended to prevent
damage to the plumbing system or component parts.
Caution: Not using a water pressure regulator when using city water may cause the
o-rings to blow. It is advisable to always use a water pressure regulator when using
the city water connection.
LP Gas Connections and Start Up
I
WARNING: LP gas can be extremely dangerous. Make sure that you
read, understand and follow all information supplied in this manual and
all component part manufacturers' manuals before operating your LP gas
system.
After the camper is completely set up and you are prepared for camping enjoyment, follow
these steps for LP gas operation.
1. Close all burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
2. Open the main valve on the LP gas container slowly to avoid a fast rush through the
excess flow valve causing a "gas freeze." If you experience a gas "freeze-up," close
the main valve and wait 15 minutes before trying again.
3. Listen carefully as the gas begins to flow. If "hissing" is heard for more than one or
two seconds, this may indicate a leak. Immediately close the valve and search for the
leak.
4. Light the appliances as needed and directed in the appliance manufacturer's
instructions.
Make sure that you read and fully understand ALL safety requirements for handling and
operation of the LP gas system. Literature is supplied with your unit from the manufacturer
of the various appliances hooked to your LP gas system. The LP gas system provides
added benefits to your camping enjoyment, however, it must be handled with care. If you
have any questions or concerns, consult with your independent, authorized dealer and/or
the specific appliance manufacturer.
If you have double bottles on your trailer, use only one at a time. Otherwise the gas supply
will be drawn equally from both bottles until the supply has been totally exhausted. Using
