Alcoa Dura Bright Rims

Cleaning Instructions

These rims require no chemicals to clean them� Simply
use a mild soap, water, clean towel, and rinse� Follow
these steps for an easy clean and shine�
1� Rinse the wheel prior to washing with a brush� This
will prevent scratching�
2� Mix a mild detergent and water� Any car wash or
household detergent will work�
3� Using a soft clean brush and soap solution, clean
the rims� (Do not use any abrasive-type brushes or
pads�)
4� After cleaning the surface, rinse thoroughly to
remove all soap so it will not spot� Towel drying will
help this as well�
CAUTION
When using a power washer, maintain a proper
distance from the touring coach. The proper
distance is approximately 2.2 ft. when using a
round jet nozzle, and 1 ft. when using a 25 degree
flat spray jet nozzle. Never point the jet nozzle at
moldings, hoses, electrical components, seals,
plug connections, etc. Never use round jet nozzles
on tires, the pulsating water can damage the sub-
structure of tires.

Water Management Panel

The Water Management Panel located on the roadside
of the coach is multipurpose� It features a low lead
brass inlet valve with four selections:
1� Tank Fill - select this setting to fill the fresh water
tank from a pressurized city water source�
6-8
2� Dry Camping (boondocking) - select this setting to
run fixtures from the fresh water holding tank.
3� City Fixtures (city water hookup) - select this
setting to run fixtures from a pressurized city
water source� This setting can also be used when
connecting compressed air for winterization;
Winterizing and Storage on page
Use the City Fixtures setting for compressed air
winterization. Do NOT exceed MAX 50 PSI when
using compressed air to clear the system of water
during winterization. The 100 PSI MAX label on the
water management panel only refers to the valve's
maximum pressure.
4� Sanitize/Winterize - select this setting to use the
water pump to draw sanitization solution or RV
antifreeze from an unpressurized container into the
water system when sanitizing or winterizing;

compressed air� See 3 above�

City Water Hookup

Connect to a city water supply using a 1/2 inch
diameter tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, high-pressure
hose with a standard garden hose thread designed for
RV use� Turn on the city water supply and slowly open
a faucet. There will be sputtering at the fixture until all
the air is expelled, which may take some time� Once
you have a steady flow at one faucet, open others to
expel the remaining air�

Fresh Water Tank Fill

Fill the fresh water tank using the same hose used
above� A small vent next to the inlet allows air to expel
from the tank when filling.
It's a good idea to let the water run through the hose
for a short time to flush it out. Some users will fill their
tank with water from home to avoid distasteful water
from another location� Keep in mind the more water
carried in the fresh water tank, the less cargo carrying
capacity you have for other items�
CAUTION
Only use a tasteless, odorless, non-toxic hose
designed to prevent bacteria growth to fill the fresh
water tank
