SYSTE\I - S EL F
CONT.~INED
Fill the water tank by opening the exterior access door, remove screw cap
and pull the vent plug.
A garden hose can now be inserted.
It's a good
idea to let the water run through the hose for a short time to flush it out.
Experienced
RVers usually fill their tanks with "home" water to avoid
strange \vater that may be distasteful to them.
The amount of water in the tank may be checked on the :Vlonitor Panel, or
you may fill the tank until water overflows out of the fill.
Open the hot side of the galley or lavatory faucet and turn on the water
pump switch located on the monitor panel.
For some time the open faucet
will only sputter.
This is because the water heater is being filled and air
is being pushed out through the lines.
Once the water heater is full a
steady stream of water
will
come from the faucet.
Now open a cold
faucet.
It will sputter for a short time, but will soon expel a steady
stream.
All other faucets can now be opened until all air is expelled.
Once the system is filled with water and the faucets closed, the water pump
will shut off.
When a faucet is opened the pump will come back on
automatically.
If the faucet is just barely open it is normal for the pump
to cycle on and off rapidly.
CAUTION:
The water pump must be turned off when hooked up to city
water supply and when you leave your Airstream unattended.
WATER PUMP AND FILTER
The water pump and filter are located in the bottom of the kitchen cabinet.
The filter screen should be cleaned periodically to prevent accumulation of
dirt and sand.
To remove the screen, disconnect the rubber hoses from both
ends, separate the screen housing, remove the screen, clean and replace.
