an outside shower, city water connection inlet, black tank flush
inlet, pump switch and water valve controls.
Water Valve Control Operation
City Fixtures: Use this setting if the motor home can be hooked
up to an external pressurized water source (city water). If needed,
sanitize the water system prior to travel.
1. Move the water heater bypass valves (if so equipped) to the
NORMAL position (supply line valves ON, middle mixer
valve OFF). The tankless water heater has no bypass.
2. Remove the city water connection inlet cap and attach a non-
toxic drinking water hose to the city water connection inlet and
the other end to a pressurized water source.
Place the utility center valves in the CITY FIXTURES position. (Fig A).
3.
4. Turn on the water at the external water source.
5. Enter the motor home and open the cold water supply faucets to bleed air from the wa-
ter lines. When the water lines are nearly full, you may experience some "air pockets".
Allow these to escape before closing the cold water supply faucets.
The tank (storage) water heater (if so equipped) will fill first, followed by the supply
6.
lines and faucets.
7. Turn the (12-volt Gas or 120-volt Electric) storage water heater power switch ON. For
a tankless water heater, turn the water heater power switch ON (located outside at the
water heater panel). The water will be heated on demand.
To disconnect
Shut off the water at the external water source and disconnect the hose.
8.
9. Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water hose from the city water connection inlet and
reinstall the city water connection inlet cap.
City Fill Tank: Use this setting to fill the water tank from a pressurized water source. If
equipped with a tank (storage) water heater, set the bypass valves to the NORMAL position
(supply line valves ON, middle mixer valve OFF). The tankless water heater has no bypass
valves.
1. Remove the city water connection inlet cap. Attach a non-toxic water hose to the city
water connection and the other end to a pressurized water source.
Place the utility center valves in the "CITY FILL TANK" position (Fig A).
2.
Turn ON the water at the external source. Water will flow into the fresh water tank.
3.
During the filling process, periodically check the fresh water tank level using the monitor
panel located in the command center. When the fresh water tank is full, it is normal to see
water running from the fresh water overflow tubes onto the ground.
To disconnect
4. Shut OFF the water at the external water source.
5. Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water hose and reinstall the city water connection
inlet cap.
Country Fill: This setting is used to siphon fill the water tank from a water container when
dry camping and a pressurized water source is unavailable.
1. If equipped with a tank (storage) water heater, set the bypass valves to the NORMAL
position (supply line valves ON, middle mixer valve OFF). The tankless water heater
has no bypass valves.
