2.
Water System).

Full System Canister water filter (if so equipped): Remove the canister, take
the filter out of the canister, then reattach the empty canister.
Bypass the cartridge water filter (if so equipped): Use the clear plastic tube
(supplied with RV) to bypass the water filter.

tize the water lines or the tank).

ized source, or from a container. Tank level can be viewed on the monitor panel inside
the RV.

the POWER FILL TANK setting. Connect a non-
toxic drinking hose to the city water fill inlet. Con-
nect the other end of the hose to the pressurized water
source. Turn on the water source and fill until is full

ter source first, then disconnect from the utility panel.
Syphon filling from a water container: Set the
valves to the SANITIZE setting. Insert a hose into
the city water fill inlet, place other end of the hose in
a container of water. Turn pump ON to draw water
into the tank until tank (Do Not Overfill). Remove
the hose and the container. To aid in siphoning place
the container approximately (2) feet off the ground.
The drain valves must be closed.
